Mask check point

  • What's the important point of the mask?

    The life of a mask is a filter. As an MB(melt blown)
    nonwoven fabric, it is almost used for disposable
    masks, and the higher the flatness of the Mb
    nonwoven fabric, the higher the filter efficiency.

  • What is the correct way to purchase a mask?

    The purpose of purchasing masks is to protect the
    respiratory system from fine dust. To do this, the mask is completely attached to your face, and it
    is recommended to buy a mask that is not big or small.

  • Is there any side effect on the mask?

    Nonwoven fabric, the main material of the mask, is known to have no side effects on the skin, but it would
    be safe to use products that have been tested for acid
    & alkali, pigment, and formaldehyde.

  • How do you wear the mask properly?

    When wearing a mask, the support of the nosepiece can be completely adhered to the
    nose and used to fit the face to prevent external
    harmful factors. At the same time, it is recommended to adjust the maskstrap so that both cheeks are fully attached to the mask.

  • How should I store the mask?

    The filter efficiency decreases when the mask is wrinkled
    or the filter is deformed, so it's good to keep it in its
    original shape at room temperature.

  • Does the mask have an expiration date?

    Non-woven fabric is 3 years from the date of manufacture, and imported products may
    be stated as 5 years. Please check the
    mark of the product.

  • What is a mask approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety?

    This refers to a mask that officially checks safety tests and verifies safety through regular inspections. In other words, masks without the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's approval for non-medical products are not reliable in safety.

  • I'd like to know the type and form of the mask.

    The types of masks are divided into yellow dust prevention masks, yellow dust masks, and sneeze
    guarding mask depending on performance.
    Depending on the method, there are face filtration (cup) masks, filter replacement masks, and direct
    flat masks, which are divided into 3D and 2D masks according to their shape.

  • What is the difference between a
    "banghandae" and a mask?

    The "banghandae" is a respiratory mask for warmth, and
    there is difficulty in blocking external harmful substances.
