Mask effectiveness: 8h in normal activity
The mask can be used for protection against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). Respiratory protective equipment designed to protect the wearer against the inhalation of airborne droplets and particles. This is why FFP (Face Filter Piece) masks offer better protection for this type of use.
The FFP2 mask is made up of several components, each with a specific function:
- A “duckbill” mask organized in several layers (called pleats). The outer layers are made of non-woven polypropylene (also known as spunbond). The two intermediate layers (filter media) ensure filtration with meltblown fabric.
- A double nose clip that adjusts the mask to the shape of the nose, prevents leaks and reduces fogging of goggles.
- Occipital attachments, which secure the mask to the face with a double flat elastic (manual separation).
Much higher effectiveness than cloth masks
Its effectiveness has also been demonstrated in enclosed spaces (inside buildings).
For example, the widespread use of this type of mask (by patients, staff, and visitors) in hospitals significantly reduces the risk of nosocomial influenza.
In this context, it also shows much higher effectiveness than cloth masks, which can be used in case of shortages, such as during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020.
The main reasons given for the lower effectiveness of cloth masks are moisture retention, low filtration capacity, and contamination when reused without washing with soap.
