Scientist are testing every day on highly efficient fabrics for best protection from Coronavirus. And with latest studies showing that COVID is air borne as well, face masks and other filtration medium’s efficiency has become even more critical. Authorities are constantly recommending covering faces with fabric during the coronavirus pandemic.

But even after one year of research and trials are we sure which material offers the most protection?

Starting from everyday items such as pillow covers, flannel pajamas, origami vacuum bags, we have checked all material to make DIY face masks, we have tried it all.

While it is known that simple face covering can reduce the spread of coronavirus by blocking outgoing germs from coughs or sneezes of an infected person, experts say we need to go beyond just a covering to combat the aerosol or air borne spread, especially in a closed environment.

How is N95/ Surgical Masks different?

Simple they are made of Meltblown filter fabric layer along with high-efficiency Spunbond.

The best medical masks – known as N95 respirator, filters out at least 95 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns. By comparison, a typical surgical mask with a melt blown filter fabric media (https://www.parknonwoven.com/pp-melt-blown-filter-media/), made using a rectangular piece of pleated material with elastic ear loops gives you a filtration capacity of 60-80 percent.
