UV Face Masks
Protection with Style
For the most advanced personal mask technology, come to Masked Family. We offer a line of UV face masks that add an additional layer of protection to the masks you already typically wear. Known to be a strong virucide, by incorporating UVC emitting material into our masks, you receive an additional barrier of protection from harmful pathogens. If you’re interested in purchasing your own UV face mask, get in touch with us today, and we can help find the best option for you.
Particle Filtration Efficiency- N95 - ASTM F2299
Flammability-Does Not Ignite- 16 CFR 1610
Differential Pressure Air Permeability-2mmH2O- MIL-M-36954C
*All testing on our UV face masks is done in compliance with US FDA good lab practice (GLP) regulations, 21 of CFR, part 58, for non-clinical laboratory studies, and referenced methods for ASTM F2100-11
Double-Ply, 100% Polyester Solid Knit/Mesh, N99 Fabric Filtration Level
- Absorbs any light and converts it into a UVC frequency emission of 265nm
- UVC level irradiates 3.5” around the mask
- UVC emission level is constant for 2 hours if there is no source of light after being charged for 30 minutes, but it functions at a constant UVC level if there is any source of light shining onto the mask. This would include scenarios of being outside in the sun, or inside in a store.
Why is this important?
“Sunlight or solar UV radiation (UV) acts as the principal natural virucide in the environment. UV radiation kills viruses by chemically modifying their genetic material, DNA and RNA. The most effective wavelength for inactivation, 260 nm, falls in the UVC range, so-named to differentiate it from near-UV found in ground-level sunlight, i.e., the UVB and UVA portions of the spectrum, 290 to 320 nm and 320 to 380 nm, respectively. Nucleic acids are damaged also by UVB and UVA but with lower efficiency than by UVC radiation.”
