WHY SafeMask.Tech™

As a Fabric Technologies company of over 50 years’ experience, the Covid-19 pandemic made us realise that we could put our expertise to good use, and also to offer respiratory protection to especially non-frontliners.

We have significant experience in fabric sourcing, fabric distribution and fabric production, especially custom production, and we typically recommend suitable and appropriate solutions for our clients.

One major area which we are currently focused is in the specialty fabrics for healthcare institutions, especially fabrics which are produced based on relevant fabric performance standards such has inherent flame retardance, inherent anti-bacterial, and inherent minimal toxicity.

We know that COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which spreads in several different ways

The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe

These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols

Current evidence suggests that the virus spreads mainly between people who are in close contact with each other,

typically within 1 meter (short-range)

A person can be infected when aerosols or droplets containing the virus are inhaled or come directly into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth

The virus can also spread in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor settings,

where people tend to spend longer periods of time

This is because aerosols remain suspended in the air or travel farther than 1 meter (long-range)

People may also become infected by touching surfaces that have been contaminated by the virus

when touching their eyes, nose or mouth without cleaning their hands

SafeMask.Techtm offers 2 Vital protection,
 

100% Protection against Droplet

99.727% Protection against Airborne viruses

A first certification achieved by SafeMask.Tech’s Facemasks is
 
Water Impermeability, which offers 100% protection against droplets
 
SafeMask.Tech’s facemasks, first and foremost offer a first line of defence against droplets
 
In the video below, water cannot pass through the facemask,
 
and hence, 100% protection against droplets is achieved
 
 
Reusable facemasks must be able to protect wearers from droplets and airborne aerosols
 
A second certification achieved by SafeMask.Tech’s Facemask is Particle Filtration Efficiency,
 
where filtration of 99.727% of 0.3 micron particles is attained
 
 
It is most important that facemask
s do not have easy or high flammability
 
SafeMask.Tech’s Facemasks, as with many high quality and branded disposable or surgical facemasks,
are certified as being non-flammable
It would be of interest to note that quality clothing’s are typically produced and certified for non-flammability as well,
as this is to protect wearers from accidental burn risks
Many does not mean it is the best,
 
in this case, wearing many layers of disposable facemasks may result in not being able to breathe well
 
 

With 3-Ply, 4-Ply or 5-Ply Facemasks, you are sure to get pretty good protection, but can you breathe?

+ you will likely have to take out your facemasks so that you can catch a breather
 
+ but then subject yourself to infection risks
 
+ sure you wanna do that?
 
+ hence, it is best to use facemasks which offers both good certified protection and good breathability
 
Well, our SafeMask.Tech can offer good protection, and which can also enable you to breathe well …
 
Now, let’s focus on SafeMask.Techtm comfort-ability,
 
A comfortable Facemasks means that won’t hurt your ear, nose or face skin.
 
Example –
 
N95 or KN95 is good, as they offer you a minimum of 95% filtration efficiency but …
 
+ they are not easy to breathe with for they are mean for healthcare frontliners,
 
+ recommended for use for up to about 4 hours only also, they are expensive
 
+ it is better to use fabric SafeMask.Techtm which offer you good protection and breathability and comfort-ability
 
 
Safemask.Tech offers Ear-loop, Head loop and Customize size for the comfort of our customers.
 

 

Whilst disposable facemasks can protect us,
 
did you know that one of the risks of especially poor quality disposable facemasks is in the cheek gaps?

Significant Cost Savings and

Environmental Damage Reduction

Cost of disposable masks

= 1,000 staff x (1 mask / day) x 22 days x (RM 0.80 / mask)

= RM 17,600.00 per month

= RM 52,800.00 for 3 months

= RM 105,600.00 for 6 months

Cost of SafeMasktm

= 1,000 staff x (RM 29.90 / mask)

= RM 29,900.00 (usable for at least 4 months)

RM 29.90 / 120 days = RM 0.25/day

Therefore, Reusable Fabric Masks will offer significant cost savings over time

not to mention saving the environment from unnecessary disposal of disposable mask
 

A disposable facemask or a N95 or FFP 2 is not the same as a reusable facemask

A low quality reusable facemask is different to a good quality reusable facemask

So, do ensure that you are comparing and making decisions, at least on a apple-to-apple or life cycle costing comparison basis

Obviously a reusable facemask of $20.00/pc which can last 180 days is much cheaper than disposable facemasks of $0.50/pc x 180days + $90.00

Or a reusable facemask of $20.00/pc durable up to about 180 days is offers tremendous ssvings than disposable N95 or FFP2 facemasks of $3.00/pc x 180days = $540.00
