Everybody knows very well how life has changed after the health emergency caused by Coronavirus. Protective devices and safety distance still are keywords we hear daily by all mass media. If it seems easy to maintain the safety distance of one meter although it depends on our own common sense and respect for everyone, the real problem remains the availability of protective masks anti-Coronavirus.
Therefore many Italian companies have committed to producing and increasing the current number of protective devices and face masks of all types, from surgical or so-called for medical use, to those of FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 respiratory protection, up to those for everyday use.
The most important features of face masks
All face masks are made up of three different layers of unwoven fabric in polyester or polypropylene fibers (material that we use also for the footwear). The first layer, the external one, keeps the shape of the mask and protects it from the damp produced by breath, cough, or sneeze. The intermediate layer filters out smaller particles whereas the last layer, the inner one, protects from bigger particles.
Since the face is one of the most delicate sides of our body, all companies should ensure the highest quality of face masks in order to offer the highest level of comfort for the wearer of the protective mask. As a consequence, it is advisable to use elastic or fixing systems can greatly reduce discomfort or irritation to the skin, especially for those more sensitive. The same technology is used fot the footwear
