A Particulate, Protective Mask (PPM) is a disposable, airtight mask that is designed to prevent dust, fumes, and other particles from entering the mouth and nose. General purpose disposable masks and dust masks designed for protection are ideal for situations where protection is needed. Masks protect the upper respiratory tract and face from the air, but not the nose or mouth. Dust masks offer only basic protection against dust.
There are three types of masks used in the workplace: disposable, facial, and standard medical/scratch guards. Disposable masks can be washed and reused as often as necessary. Face masks must be regularly replaced to ensure they are effective at protecting the user's entire face. Masks that are not new will generally begin to show signs of aging within six to eight weeks.
Disposable masks are available in many sizes and configurations to accommodate many industrial environments. Chinese producers can create durable, comfortable, and economical disposable masks through the use of innovative manufacturing processes. disposable medical supplies and scratch guards are an essential part of the emergency preparedness inventory of many factories around the world. Standard medical supplies are typically made from materials that deteriorate over time and must be replaced. These medical supplies are normally used by emergency first responder personnel and nursing personnel before medical facilities get on the aircraft to transport patients.
Particulate protective masks offer the advantages of disposable as well as standard medical/scratch guards. Many disposable masks are equipped with a wide, medium, or narrow mandrel that offers superior fit and efficiency of ventilation while allowing air to flow through the mask. Improved manufacturing processes allow manufacturers to manufacture a higher degree of breathing protection for these masks. Standard medical supplies are made from materials that tend to deteriorate over time; this is compounded by the fact that standard medical supplies are porous and offer little or no filtration efficiency. Particulate filtering efficiency allows these medical supplies to remain effective for longer periods of time.
The Particulate series was designed and developed in China. While the Particulate family of products has been found in a few different places around the world, the majority of production is done in China. This high volume production allows for consistent high quality production that is consistent with international standards. Most of the Particulate family of products has been found in several countries around the world.
The Kn95 mask is one of the most popular masks manufactured in China. It was designed by a well-known face cream manufacturer based in China. The design concept behind the kn95 mask was based upon the features that were desired in a standard medical mask but did not want to sacrifice the filtration efficiency needed to achieve those standards. The kn95 mask utilizes a polypropylene mesh that can be found in many of the similar products available in the Particulate family of products.
