1. WHAT IS A RESPIRATOR?
Anti-Pollution, Dust & Microbe respirators are known as respirators. It is a device worn over the mouth and nose, which helps you to breathe cleaner & healthier air by preventing you from inhaling chemicals, particulate matter, and infectious particles such as bacteria and viruses.
2. CAN’T I USE A CHEAPER / ENTRY LEVEL SURGICAL RESPIRATOR TO PROTECT MYSELF?
Surgical respirators are not designed to filter out particulate matter and other air pollutants. They are meant for medical staff and surgeons and are supposed to be used for medical use cases.
Additionally, surgical respirators are supposed to be used for only a few hours and then disposed correctly (waste segregation and disposal needs to adhere to medical facility standards) and hence are heavily recommended not to be used for commercial purposes. Also, being disposables – surgical respirators per use costs are significantly higher.
3. WHAT IS SUPERMASK W95 RESPIRATOR?
SUPERMASK W95 is a reusable outdoor respirator from Wildcraft. Engineered to protect you with HYPASHIELD 6-layer triple particle filtration system. SUPERMASK W95 outdoor respirator is your perfect outdoor essential!
4. HOW DOES THE SUPERMASK W95 RESPIRATOR FILTER? WHAT DOES THIS RESPIRATOR PROTECT FROM?
The W95 Respirator is certified to protect by ensuring:
1. 95%+ Bacterial Filtration Efficiency pre-wash (BFE) for over 3μm (micron) sized bacteria,
2. 95%+ Particle Filtration Efficiency pre-wash (PFE) for over 0.3μm (micron) size particles and
3. Splash resistance of 160 mmHg.
The W95 Respirator is carefully designed for all weather conditions, & is certified to provide comfort by ensuring:
4. Breathability levels tested at Delta P <= 35Pa/cm²
Safe & comfortable, SUPERMASK W95, reusable outdoor respirator keeps you safe from dangerous microbes, pollutants, dust, particulate matter, smoke from vehicle exhausts, factories, bushfires, etc.
5. WILL IT HELP AGAINST COVID 19?
No respirator can guarantee 100% protection against COVID 19, though due to the fact, that its transmission requires droplets/aerosols which come at manageable micron sizes, the virus’s transmission can be significantly reduced. The SUPERMASK W95 respirator has been certified as per standards set by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) that are tested in Ministry of Textile approved labs. With 95%+ Bacteria filtration efficiency (BFE) for over 3μm (micron) sized bacteria, 95%+ Particle filtration efficiency (PFE) for over 0.3μm (micron) size particles and Splash resistant test on Hydrostatic head test for up to 160 mmHg; the respirators offer exceptional protection & comfort for all of us.
6. WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICRON & MM (MICROMETRE)?
Both are the same in terms of units of measurement (1*10-6 meter), an SI (international system of units) derived unit of length equalling one millionth of a metre.
The micrometre (SI symbol: μm) also commonly known by the previous name micron.
7. WHAT IS HYPASHIELD 6 LAYER TRIPLE PARTICLE FILTRATION SYSTEM AND WHAT ARE ITS FEATURES AND BENEFITS?
