The role of N95 masks

N95 masks are often used for occupational respiratory protection, especially against certain microbial particles such as viruses, bacteria, molds, etc., and its biggest feature is that it can prevent droplet infection caused by splashing body fluids or blood of patients.

Meaning of N95 masks

The N95 mask is one of nine types of particulate respirators certified by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health). "N" means not resistant to oil.

95" means that the concentration of particles inside the mask is more than 95% lower than that of the outside of the mask when exposed to a specified number of special test particles. Of these, 95% is not an average, but a minimum. N95 is not a specific product name, as long as it meets the N95 standard and passes the NIOSH review, it can be called an "N95 type mask".

Be sure to buy the products produced by regular manufacturers, not some irregular manufacturers. Even if N95 is labeled, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a genuine and useful N95 mask. N95 of the N95 mask is a medical standard symbol in the United States.

The n should be capitalized, which means that it is not resistant to oil, and 95 means that it has more than 95% of the preventive shielding effect on pathogenic microorganisms.

There are many ways to distinguish the authenticity of N95 masks, for example, **N95 masks will use laser etching to engrave the model, the font is twill, and it will also be packaged separately, and there is an anti-counterfeiting mark on the outside of the package. The counterfeit N95 masks use ordinary printing technology, the process is relatively rough, and the packaging is generally used for multiple masks.

1. Process. N95 masks can be identified by the production process, **N95 masks will generally use high-tech lasers to etch the model, and the font is twill. Most of the counterfeit N95 masks use ordinary printing technology, and their production process is relatively rough.

2. Annotation. Different models of masks have different corresponding standards, for example, the mask with a model standard of 9001 is marked as KN90. However, most counterfeit merchants will directly mark "KN95" or "KN95 level" on the mask, which are all means for merchants to induce consumers to sell.

3. Packing. <>

N95 masks can also be identified by their packaging, because the N95 masks are individually packaged to ensure that the product is as safe and hygienic as possible. Most of the counterfeit and shoddy N95 masks are multiple masks in a common box, and there is generally no anti-counterfeiting mark on the packaging surface.

Ways to identify a real N95 mask:

1. Smell the smell

The 3M mask does not have any peculiar smell, only the activated carbon mask has a faint scent of activated carbon, and the rubber mask tape has no Zen taste.

2. Look at the printing

3M masks are all laser printed, and the print marks are at a 45-degree bevel, while fakes are printed with ink, and there are often traces of uneven ink. Specifically, the model of the ** 3M mask is laser etched and striped, while the model of the fake mask is printed in a dotted shape.

In addition, **The surface of the mask has the same 10 digits as the serial code on the packaging box, while the serial code of the fake is printed and cannot correspond to the serial code of the packaging box.

3. Look at the LA logo and the QS certification of the state

The LA logo and QS certification are not printed on the box, but two small labels. As long as non-domestic masks are purchased through formal channels, they must have LA certification, and domestic masks, whether they are used for domestic use or export, must have QS and LA certification.

The N95 mask with 3M to identify the authenticity has ink printing dots at first glance, and it is not necessarily a fake. But if there are only dots and no twills, it must be a fake; If there are dots and twills, you can basically be sure that it is genuine.
