Why choose an Airinum mask over other mask types?

As the colder months approach, air quality often worsens due to increased pollution, allergens, and other airborne irritants. It's essential to stay protected, and not all masks are created equal. Whether you're trying to reduce the risk of catching a virus while commuting, alleviate allergy symptoms, or protect your lungs from pollutants, choosing the right mask can make all the difference.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the main types of masks available, and why Airinum masks stand out as the best choice for premium protection.

Cloth masks
Standards: ASTM F2299 (USA), CWA 17553 (Europe), GB/T 38413-2019 (China).
Use cases: General public use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cloth masks are made from fabric, typically cotton, and are worn over the mouth and nose. While they are widely available, reusable, and easy to wash, they offer minimal protection. Without a proper filter insert or with a loose fit, cloth masks block just 10-30% of aerosol-sized particles, including those that spread viruses like COVID-19.

Surgical masks
Standards: ASTM Level 1, 2, 3 (USA), Type I, IR, II, IIR (Europe), YY/T 0969-2013, YY 0469-2011 (China).
Use cases: Healthcare professionals such as surgeons and dentists.
Surgical masks are designed to prevent the spread of exhaled air and droplets to patients. They offer 47-50% protection from virus particles but are loose-fitting, leaving gaps around the nose and mouth, limiting their efficiency. Despite this, they help reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses when worn widely.

Industrial respirators
Standards: N95, N99, N100 (USA), FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 (Europe), KN 90, KN 95, KN 99 (China).
Use cases: Workers on industrial sites, painters, etc.
Known as the ‘gold standard’ of air masks, industrial respirators are designed to protect the wearer by forming a tight seal around the nose and mouth. They offer advanced filtration technology, typically blocking up to 95% of particles, providing higher protection than cloth or surgical masks.

Airinum masks
Standards: Same as industrial (KN95, FFP2 CE, etc.).
Use cases: Premium protection for the general public.
Airinum masks offer unparalleled protection, blocking up to 99.9% of harmful particles, including dust, allergens, pollution, viruses, and bacteria. They feature advanced filtration technology similar to industrial respirators but go a step further in terms of comfort, breathability, and sustainability.
TNot only do Airinum masks ensure you’re protected in crowded spaces or urban environments, but they are also reusable and washable, making them an eco-friendly choice. Their sleek design, featuring a skin cover to protect the filter, makes them durable for long-term use. Plus, clean air improves skin health, reduces stress, and enhances energy and focus. By choosing an Airinum mask, you also safeguard your long-term health against respiratory, heart, and brain diseases.
With a combination of unmatched protection, environmental consciousness, and superior comfort, Airinum masks are the ideal solution for people who want the best for their health and the planet.
