Respirators Versus Nanofiber Face Masks: How do They Protect You? 

Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic has also brought some myths about respiratory protective equipment which has spread together with the pandemic. These myths concern especially the FFP3 respirators and their fitness to be used for medical purposes. Where do these respirators really stand concerning their efficiency and safety compared to nanofiber facemasks?

The bottom line of the problem with common respirators is that their efficiency relies on electrostatic filtration. The electrostatic charge of a filter discharges very quickly after coming into contact with liquids or air humidity and that leads to a substantial decrease of its efficiency.

RESPILON® Introduced a Membrane for Functional Clothing 

RESPILON® Introduced a Membrane for Functional Clothing

RESPILON® apparel membrane is based on the modern nanofiber technology where the core of the membrane consists of fibers with a diameter 1000× thinner than a human hair.

This extremely dense "sieve" with more than 2.5 billion pores per square centimetre works much more efficiently with vapour removal and brings a better level of water resistance.

Teflon-based membranes, which are also used by the current world market leader, contain hazardous fluorine and use harmful chemicals during production. RESPILON® outdoor membrane consists of polyurethane so its production is not harmful to nature. The membrane is also 100% recyclable.

Protect yourself against Ebola with ReSpimask® 

Ebola epidemic has killed over 2,800 people in West Africa and the number of the infected persons has exceeded 6,000. According to Doctors Without Borders, the death rate has reached a frightening 70%. Do not risk contracting this deadly illness; protect yourself and your loved ones with ReSpimask® – a nanofiber membrane catches dangerous bacteria and viruses, including Ebola.

Ebola is one of the most insidious diseases in the world.

This makes prevention even more important – for all who live in the affected areas, travel there or come into contact with the local population.
