What Is The Difference Between A Disposable Mask And A Medical Mask

What is the difference between a disposable mask and a medical mask

  1. Different properties: Disposable masks are made of two layers of 28g non-woven fabric. Medical masks are made of one or more layers of nonwovens.

  2. Different technologies: The main production technologies of medical masks include melting spray, spunbonded, hot air or acupuncture, etc. They are effective against liquid, particulate matter and bacteria, and are used as textiles for medical protection. Disposable three-layer masks are made of two layers of non-woven fiber cloth for medical and health care, with a layer added in the middle to filter and prevent bacteria up to 99% of the filtration dissolved spray cloth through ultrasonic welding.

  3. Different effects: The filtration efficiency of medical mask to the aerodynamic median diameter (0.24±0.06) m sodium chloride aerosol under the condition of air flow (85±2) L/min is not less than 95%, that is, it conforms to N95 (or FFP2) and above grades. Aerosol - transmitted infectious agents <5 m in diameter or close contact with aerosol - transmitted infectious agents. Disposable masks do not.

  Simply put, disposable masks are a type of medical masks.

There are many types of medical masks. The common medical masks are disposable non-woven masks, gauze masks and antiviral masks.

  1. Disposable non-woven mask: more than three layers, to isolate bacteria, dust, and disposable, safe and reliable, no risk of secondary infection.

  2. Gauze mask: A type of mask that has been used for a long time and has been widely used in medical care and scientific research.

  3. Anti-virus mask: It is mainly made of non-woven cloth with a filter layer in the middle. Generally, the filter layer is molten spray cloth. It has the effect of sterilization and sterilization.
