IIT-Madras incubated clean technology start-up Air Ok
Technologies has stepped up to design and launch a range of high-quality face
masks under Air Ok Breathe Safe series. Following the impact of COVID-19,
wearing face masks has become an integral part of our lives. In a bid to
provide an all-round safety solution, Air Ok has introduced N95 and N99 masks
following detailed and careful research. It comes with EGAPA Carbon
infused with anti-counterfeit filter media and is built with anti-allergic
fabric. EGAPA is a patented technology built by Air Ok with high-filtration
efficiency.
Air Ok masks have comfortable facial fit due to their ergonomic design.
Also, the masks are built using antimicrobial technology, offer five-layered
protection and are water repellent. It’s a reusable mask with a foldable design
for easy storage post usage. As some scientists have suggested that the virus
may be airborne and also has the ability to penetrate cloth surfaces, Air Ok
Breathe Safe masks are made with special fabric that involves spun-bond
polypropylene and melt-blown polypropylene. These components work together to
create a complex web to offer maximum protection. This web has excellent
wicking, and barrier properties, i.e. the masks are effective against ultrafine
air particles (0.1 microns). Air Ok Breathe Safe filtration is proven and
certified to filter with BFE 99.9%.
Wearing masks has its own challenges, and the hot, humid weather further
makes the whole process difficult. Air Ok has laid a special emphasis towards
easy respiration via the masks. The masks are easy to wear and carry
comfortable elastic ear loops and support clip. It comes with a soft handle,
good drape ability and excellent moisture resistance.
Some other notable features are: NABL certified, Layer 1 is anti-static
non-woven fabric; Layer 2 is EGAPA carbon infused fabric which is powerful
enough to filter 0.3 micron particles; Layer 3 is built with Melt blown filter
paper with 95% filtration potency; Layer 4 is melt blown non-fabric filter with
99% filtration efficiency; Layer 5 is hot air cotton filter; and Layer 6
is is PP-Non-Woven-Absorbs unwanted moisture. The masks are priced
between Rs 299 and Rs 699.
