Description

Manufacturing of SINGLE USE fabric masks to minimise the spread of germs and bacteria.

The masks are manufactured to cover the nose and mouth area to minimise the spread of airborne viruses and other germs and to be a SINGLE USE ONLY mask, worn once while in a public place, and discarded safely after public exposure has come to an end.

The masks were designed to minimise the spread of airborne viruses and other germs and NOT for the prevention of catching airborne viruses and other germs. It is a single layer mask, fits any size face, does not conform to facial features, merely covers the nose and mouth. The mask has not been submitted for any ISO standards or SABS approval as of yet, but will be submitted as soon as possible once restrictions have been eased.

They do NOT comply to the N95 standard, and are not designed to be used as such. They are designed to protect the general public for a short duration for instance:

• At schools or universities
• All forms of public transport (Taxi, Uber, bus etc)
• Shopping experiences
• All forms of public exposure

This non-woven polypropylene is capable of filtering out microscopic particles and it’s also used for looser-fitting surgical masks, which are more for keeping the wearer from spreading disease and protecting them from sprays of liquid.

The fact that they are disposable also greatly contributes to the curb of the spread, since masks need not be re-worn. Many people re-wear their masks because they are so expensive. Ours is not expensive, is 100% manufactured locally, and can be made in extreme quantities of up to 2 million a DAY.

Offer your customers an added safety measure by issuing these masks upon entrance to your premises, and safely discard them after they leave.

PLEASE NOTE: SINGLE USE ONLY

Do NOT use these masks more than once, and NEVER share your mask.

Technical Data

70 g/m² Black Spunbond Non-Woven Fabric

Description: 70 g/m2 is an extruded Polypropylene fabric intended for conversion into multi-purpose use. The fabric is suitable for Ultra-Sonic welding constructed of 100% (virgin PP). The material is extruded with a master batch to get the customer specific colour.

Manufacturers of medical masks use specialized materials made of a synthetic fiber—often polypropylene—formed into a web of fine filaments using what’s called melt-blown or spunbond technology. This non-woven polypropylene is capable of filtering out microscopic particles, which is why it’s preferred for medical-grade masks, such as N95 respirators, that form a seal around the nose and mouth. It’s also used for looser-fitting surgical masks, which are more for keeping the wearer from spreading disease and protecting them from sprays of liquid.

Announcements

• Coronavirus: Healthcare workers report having to reuse masks. Read the article here.
• Our Spunbond is not for hygiene use but general purpose, it is used in dust mask but as outer layers not filter layers.
• Since these masks are not for surgical use they aren’t made in a specialised factory that guarantees that it is sterile.
  Every measure is taken to manufacture them in a sterile environment as per the new workplace preparedness for COVID-19 guidelines issued by the Department of Employment and Labour, but MWRD does not guarantee it as such.
