A disposable KN95 face mask, also known as a filtering facepiece respirator, is a specialized type of protective mask designed to provide a higher level of filtration and respiratory protection compared to standard disposable face masks. KN95 masks are commonly used in environments with higher levels of airborne particles, including dust, aerosols, and various types of pathogens.
A typical disposable KN95 face mask consists of the following components:
The key component of an KN95 mask is its multi-layered filtering material. The layers are designed to filter out a significant portion of airborne particles, including fine particles, bacteria, and viruses. The material is engineered using melt-blown technology to achieve high filtration efficiency.
Breathable KN95 masks are composed of 2-ply of non-woven fabric, 2-ply of melt-blown cloth and 1-ply of hot-air cotton. The 5-ply masks are safer and more reliable than ordinary 3 or 4-ply masks and provide you with more protection.
Disposable KN95 masks typically feature head straps instead of ear loops. These straps provide a secure fit and evenly distribute the tension around the head, enhancing comfort during prolonged use.
To ensure a proper fit and minimize leakage, KN95 masks often include a foam cushion at the top of the mask to seal around the wearer's nose. An adjustable metal nose clip is embedded within the foam to allow the wearer to shape the mask around the nose for a snug fit.
Many KN95 masks, such as the Disposable Particulate Respirator, 5-Ply Cup KN95 Dust Safety Mask for Men & Women, are designed to be foldable for convenient storage and transportation.
