are ffp2 masks medical grade| KENJOY

Since the beginning of the new crown pandemic, most countries in the world have mandated the use of FFP2 masks in public places, public transport and shops.Masks were also required in public buildings and offices, trains and buses and taxis. At first, homemade textile masks were enough, but then you needed to use FFP2 masks-called KN95, N95 or P2 in other parts of the world.

Ffp2 mask is a medical mask

The filter material of FFP2 mask is mainly divided into four layers, that is, two layers of non-woven cloth + one layer of spray cloth + one layer of needled cotton.

FFP2 masks, one of the European mask standards EN149:2001, are designed to absorb harmful aerosols, including dust, smoke, fog droplets, poisonous gases and toxic vapors, through filter media to block them from being inhaled. The lowest filtering effect of FFP2 is > 94%.

Medical surgical masks, medical protective masks, N95 and FFP2 can all be used for protection in medical institutions, so ffp2 is a good highly efficient medical grade mask. If you have a ffp2 mask on your hand, the editor envies you very much. If not, there is no need to buy it on purpose. After all, we ordinary people do not need such high-specification masks.

What to do after taking off the FFP2 mask?

The outer layer of the FFP2 mask often accumulates a lot of dust, bacteria and other dirt in the outside air, while the inner layer blocks the exhaled bacteria and saliva, so the two sides cannot be used alternately, otherwise the dirt contaminated by the outer layer will be inhaled into the human body when it is directly close to the face and become a source of infection. When you are not wearing a mask, put it in a clean envelope and fold the side close to your mouth and nose, never stuffing it into your pocket or hanging it around your neck.

FFP2 category port settings are similar to N95 and KN95 daily settings and cannot be cleaned. Because wetting will cause electrostatic release of the mask, can not absorb the diameter of dust less than 5um high-temperature steam disinfection is similar to cleaning, water vapor will also cause electrostatic release, resulting in mask failure.

If you have an ultraviolet lamp at home, you can consider using the ultraviolet lamp to sterilize the surface of the mask to prevent accidental contact with the surface of the mask and cause pollution. High temperature can also kill bacteria, but the mask is usually still made of material, high temperature may also cause the mask to burn, resulting in safety risks, it is not recommended to use ovens and other facilities for high temperature disinfection.
