The COVID-19 pandemic re-shaped the way we live, from daily routines to small meetup plans, everything is upside-down.
To suppress the virus, governments around the world implemented various measures to fight against the problem. One common and proven implementation is making masks a requirement. The World Health Organization (WHO) encourages the use of masks as well:
“Masks should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy of measures to suppress transmission and save lives” – W.H.O.
In order to provide a better tool to survive the pandemic, NG Global Inc. introduced protective NG Gaiters shields that offer the ultimate in comfort and protection.
Nanogaiter Mask – The Nanotechnology Protection
The Nanogaiter mask boasts a unique nanofiber membrane certified by the U.S. Nelson laboratory at a 99.9 % efficacy rating. The efficiency is tested and certified to protect against:
- 99% Allergens
- 99% P1 Dust Particles
- 100% PM2, 5, and 10 dust particles
- 99.9% Bacteria and Virus
To offer a comfortable breathing experience, the cloth used in the mask is very thin rendering it usable for everyday use in every condition, including warm weather, or even sports.
The mask construction consists of three premium layers: A filter Layer, Inner Layer, and Outer Layer.
NG – Nano Membrane
The ultimate protection filter: The Nanofibre based Membrane is made of PA6 polymer (Fiber diameter 150 – 500nm). It provides Filtration Efficiency (0.6um) of a prodigious 99%.
The filtration efficiency of The Nanomembrane provides ultimate protection, while its unique structure allows washing without losing filtration efficiency; unlike any other product currently on market.
The filters used in N95 masks are 95% efficient. The material is made of electrostatic, non-woven polypropylene fiber whereas, Nanogaiter filters are 99.9% efficient using special Nanofiber-based membranes created by electrospinning. This process makes fibers considerably thinner achieving the highest filtration possible.
Nanogaiter vs. Standard face masks
Some standard face masks or fancier masks in the market consist of a basic cloth material with the filter inside consisting of the same simple material, the filtration barrier acts only as show, not actually preventing particles from reaching your face.
“A face mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures.” – FDA.GOV
As research on the virus unfolds, The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared two masks are better than one in the fight against COVID.
“The extent to which they reduce exhalation and inhalation of particles in the aerosol size range varies substantially, in part because air can leak around their edges, especially through the side gaps” – CDC.
Co-author of the CDC report Lindsay Marr added: “If your simple cloth mask filters out 50 percent of particles, then layering two of them on top of each other will increase the efficiency to about 75 percent.”
Moreover, Dr. Scott Segal, chairman of anesthesiology (Wake Forest Baptist Health) states the best masks are multilayered.
Nanogaiter masks provide a triple layer of protection with nanomembrane filters capable of filtering 99.9 % of airborne particles down to 0.3um.
NG Gaiter adheres to all rules and practices emphasized by experts. Rather than wearing two masks over each other (for an additional layer of protection) increasing breathlessness, it’s better to opt for Nanogaiter protective shields offering the most protection in one unit. As mentioned previously, the cloth used is exceptionally thin, so the wearer will have no difficulty breathing.
Regular face masks don’t include a clip or wire to adjust around the nose. A study published in May discovered nasal cells were more likely to become infected with and shed coronavirus than cells in the throat or lungs.
The Nanogaiter includes an adjustable nose clip, elastic band, and a plastic spring cord lock easily adjusted to your satisfaction. In contrast, regular face masks come with a simple ear to face cord often requiring adjustments leaving you vulnerable to virus particles from side gaps.
If you are a stylish individual with a bold sense of fashion, then worry not! Nanogaiter comes in a variety of colors so you won’t compromise on style. Additionally, Nanogaiter may be customized per customer request.
In summary: the Nanogaiter provides better overall protection than standard masks currently on market. Its efficacy is certified by the U.S. Nelson laboratory with a 99% effectiveness against aerosols and particles such as: viruses, bacteria, dust, smog, pollen, mold spores, and a multitude of airborne allergens and aggressive substances.
