Pharm2Farm deliberately targeted the Type IIR surgical mask first as they are what professional healthcare users use and extremely scalable to produce at a price point that is accessible to everyone - unlike other masks and coverings that claim to be anti-COVID-19 on the market.

Other face “coverings” on the market that proclaimed to kill viruses, including those with embedded copper, don’t have a filter that is small enough (<100nm) to prevent the virus or the cells, that carry it, from passing through. #facemask #SecondLockdown #covid19

In the absence of the antiviral layer any filter can end up concentrating up pathogens in the mask; as is the case with other Type IIR masks. If the filter, then gets compromised you could end up inhaling or exhaling a large concentration the very thing you are trying to stop.

Our nanoparticles are spherical in appearance, this results in a large surface area to volume ratio. This increase in effective surface area and the fact that the nanoparticles are in the same size domain as the virus (~100 nm) results in a highly efficient virucide. #nano

The inner layer is the antiviral one and contains our patented copper nanoparticle formulation that has been printed and melted onto the fabric, enough for it not to fall away but not completely engulfed so it retains its active surface. #covid19 #facemask #secondwave

One of the novel steps we’ve incorporated is to bind the two filter layers directly onto the surface of the inner and outer layers, so to the naked eye they are one layer each. We’ve also added the pigment to the filter layer to reduce any posable allergic reactions to dye.

Whereas the inner most layer is a hypoallergenic hydrophilic spunbonded polypropylene layer, designed to feel comfortable on the face and highly breathable. #innovation #SecondLockdown

The result is that the mask has a bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of >99.98%. The outer most layer is a hydrophobic spunbonded polypropylene fabric that repels moisture and bodily fluids. #facemask #covid19

P2F’s masks adopt the same non-woven melt blown polypropylene barrier technology that is incorporated into current state of the art fluid-resistant Type IIR surgical mask; however, we have incorporated two of these layers rather than just one. #facemask
