Hello ,Everyone . in this article we will show you how to Choose the right mask and simple ways to test the mask .
First you need to know the structure of the mask :
Disposable medical masks are divided into three layers, usually made of two layers of non-woven fabric and filter paper. The outer layer has a water blocking effect to prevent droplets from entering the mask. The middle layer has the filtering effect, which is the most critical. Near mouth and nose The inner layer is mainly used to absorb moisture to ensure comfortable wearing.
Because the most important non-woven fabric in medical surgical masks is the meltblown non-woven fabric of the middle layer. Meltblown non-woven fabrics block viruses and bacteria through the barrier effect of fibers and the electrostatic adsorption of fibers. (The melt-blown layer in the middle layer must pass through the electrostatic stagnation process. The BFE of the ordinary melt-blown layer is only 80-90, while the melt-blown with static electricity can reach more than 95%.) The fiber barrier and electrostatic adsorption of the melt-blown layer can The droplets and dust are adhered to the dense short fibers, and the strong adsorption force can capture the droplets and dust well.
Second :A Simple way to check if a mask is good quality or not ?
1.forget about all the other factors like : smell , touch,look .I just want to show a easy way to help friends to distinguish .
Check its ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTION .
Because the most important non-woven fabric in medical surgical masks is the meltblown non-woven fabric of the middle layer. Meltblown non-woven fabrics block viruses and bacteria through the barrier effect of fibers and the electrostatic adsorption of fibers.
An easy way to check it : pls see the video:
Warming !Washing, spraying alcohol, and irradiating ultraviolet rays will cause damage to the filter layer and reduce the protective performance of the mask!
Third :Check the certificate or quality standard . A good mask should meet CE and FDA and other quality standards.
below is a chat to show you the quality standards :
Each country has their own certification standard for each mask type. For example, in Europe they have the EN 14683 standard for surgical masks, whereas China uses the YY 0469 standard.The standard with the lowest requirements on filtration effectiveness are the single use face masks. The surgical masks and then respirators follow.
Fourth : you can find a experienced sourcing agent in China to help you deal with the procurement of mask ,they can source mask and export to you with no headache for you .
After we source and compare many mask suppliers in China ,here we publish some masks with good quality and good price and meet the CE and FDA standards,if you are interested ,pls feel free to contact us:
1. use 100,000 level Clean workshop to produce it .
2.Ethylene oxide sterilization
3. Independent sterilization package
4, CE EN 14683 ,and FDA certificate .

Entry requirements for masks by country:
Product access conditions
United States
Necessary information Bill of lading, packing list, invoice.
Personal protective masks must be certified by the US NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.Medical masks must be licensed by the US FDA.
EU
Necessary information Bill of lading, packing list, invoice.
Personal protective masks The EU standard for personal protective masks is EN149. According to the standards, masks are divided into three categories: FFP1 / FFP2 and FFP3. All masks exported to the European Union must obtain CE certification. CE certification is a compulsory product safety certification system implemented by the European Union to protect the lives and property of people in EU countries.
Medical masks The corresponding EU standard for medical masks is EN14683.
Products sold in the European Union need to issue the EU Free Sale Certificate. With the CE mark and the EU registration required by the relevant directives, Chinese manufacturers do not need a free sales certificate to export to the EU.
Australia
Necessary information Bill of lading, packing list, invoice.
Must be registered by the Australian TGA and comply with the standard specification: AS / NZS 1716: 2012, which is the standard for respiratory protection in Australia and New Zealand.
TGA is the abbreviation of Therapeutic Goods Administration. The full name is Therapeutic Goods Administration. It is the supervision agency of Australian therapeutic goods (including drugs, medical devices, genetic technology and blood products). Australian medical devices are classified into Class I, Is and Im, IIa, IIb, III. The product classification is almost the same as the EU classification. If the product has obtained the CE mark, the product category can be classified according to CE.
