Features of active masks

Activated carbon masks, also known as activated carbon medical masks, are manufactured from filter cloth containing activated carbon, which helps protect the health of the user.

Activated carbon used in the production of masks is made from processed carbon at steam temperature (from 9000-1000 degrees Celsius), in an anaerobic environment to create carbon with the structure of carbon. Capillaries are quite large, in order to reduce the density and increase the contact surface. Usually, activated carbon masks will contain activated carbon or can be made directly from activated carbon fibers.
Therefore, the active mask is evaluated to bring many outstanding features, not only capable of preventing dirt, but also preventing a number of harmful chemicals and gases such as CO2, SO2, H2S, .. . to minimize the factors that adversely affect human health.

In general, activated carbon masks are usually divided into 2 main types, including: The type with an activated carbon press plate placed between 2 layers of fabric and one with a woven fabric layer from activated fibers, sewn with together.
The activated fibers used here are fabrics that have been impregnated with activated carbon, effective only after 2 washes. Readers should note when buying an activated carbon mask, if you receive an advertisement that the charcoal liner will work for up to 1 year, it is not true because this charcoal liner will be "full" right after a day. several days of use, can not be used again.
When buying fine dust masks or activated carbon masks with bad odors, it is likely that the manufacturer has used glue to fix the activated carbon particles together, this can can cause the coal layer to lose its adsorption effect.

Active masks are widely trusted by the people for the following benefits:
Preventing dust and pollution when participating in traffic Preventing some respiratory diseases such as colds and flu , tuberculosis Avoid direct sunlight, UV rays,... Wearing a mask helps workers prevent toxics, and be safer In some manufacturing industries such as wood production, wearing a mask will help people labor to reduce the amount of fine dust inhaled

Recently, due to the outbreak of a number of diseases that can be transmitted in the air, the Ministry of Health recommends that when people go out on the street, they should wear medical masks to protect the health of themselves and the community. As a result, masks have become more "hunted" items at pharmacies than ever before.
Followed by this is the consequence of fake activated carbon masks being sold widely. Because the mask is an object that comes into direct contact with the human body, if a fake activated carbon mask is used, it can cause serious consequences for the user.
Here are some notes when buying activated carbon masks so that readers can distinguish the real from the fake in a simple way:

Fabric
Usually, activated carbon masks will use quite soft fabric. In contrast, the fabric of fake masks is often quite rough. For real masks, when you wear them, you will not feel uncomfortable friction in the facial area, extremely comfortable. When touched, you will see that the filter layer of the real mask is thicker, providing greater protection for the user.

The layer of activated carbon inside
The activated carbon layer is the core of an activated mask, having the highest protective duty during mask use. To identify the truth-false, the simplest way is to cut the outermost layer of the mask. Next, proceed to pull strongly the middle layer of the mask.
If it is a standard activated carbon medical mask, the middle layer will not tear and be quite tough, and the fake mask will tear as soon as you pull it, which is usually just a black fabric to cover the user's eyes .

To be able to buy genuine and quality medical masks, go to reputable medical facilities, stores, and agents. Do not go to retail establishments that sell drugs of unknown origin. Be a smart consumer to protect the health of you and your loved ones.
