An Ran KN95 Mask
Single Use, Disposable Mask
- KN95 – stands for the regulatory standard for filtering facepiece respirators that are certified in China.
- KN95 respiratory masks – masks that are regulated by the Chinese government under regulation GB2626-2006.
- KN95 masks provide 95% protection against all particles that are greater than 0.3 µm in diameter (bacteria, viruses, pollution particles, fine particles, dust, smog, pollen, etc.)
- KN95 masks have a 3D foldable design, earloops, nose bridge/nosepiece, and provide excellent fitting and sealing.
- KN95 masks feature 5-layer protection, and are skin-friendly (don’t cause rash and skin irritation).
1. What Does KN95 Mean?
KN95 stands for the regulatory standard for filtering facepiece respirators that are certified in China. The regulatory standard refers to a design that ensures filtration efficiency, tight seal with the face as well as minimum leakage.
It is important to mention that the requirements for a KN95 certification are almost the same as the requirements fo the US N95 filtering facepiece respirators.
That is why both KN95 and N95 provide the same levels of protection, according to international standards and certifications.
2. What Does A KN95 Mask Protect You From?
The KN95 mask is supposed to provide effective respiratory protection against all sorts of particles, including bacteria and viruses.
The KN95 masks are also supposed to provide 95% protection against all particles that are greater than 0.3 µm in diameter.
The KN95 masks are multi-layer masks, that usually feature 5-layer protection. The layers are made from high-quality, nonwoven fabric, hot air cotton, and melt-blown fabric.
The nonwoven fabric is hydrophobic, and is water- and droplet-proof. Moreover, the hot air cotton is soft and ensures lower air velocity. Further layers ensure particle filtration and hypoallergenic materials, that are skin-friendly.
KN95 masks are created to have at least 95% filtration efficiency, which makes them just as good as the N95 masks (97% filtration efficiency) and better than surgical masks (95% filtration efficiency) and PM 2.5 filter masks (approximately 60% filtration efficiency).
