How do we do it?

Workplace and School : Technical Fibre Face Masks and Washable Filter Inserts. Medical Compliant Non-Linting Fabric. Ergo-Fit Construction. Effective & Comfortable.

We put together skilled teams of people who collaborate on different projects to solve specific issues. Within this project, we have employed the skills of:

  • Specialist textile chemical supply companies.

  • Textile mills capable of finishing fabric.

  • Specialist CMT companies.

  • Skilled filter manufacture suppliers

  • Epidemiologists, scientists and skilled medical personnel capable of advising us on the development of the correct equipment to assist us in this crisis.

Our Technologies

The Silver+ Finish

Silver ions, or silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), have attracted much attention in the epidemiological field and have found use as an antiseptic and antimicrobial agent against bacteria. Additionally, silver nanoparticles have opened up a completely new way to combat a wide range of bacterial Pathogens.

AgNPs are impregnated into the medical grade synthetic material of the mask through a complex dipping process. Silver Ions bond to tissue proteins of bacteria which causes structural changes in bacterial cell walls. Once the cell wall integrity is damaged the permeability increases which results in cell death.

®RUCO-GUARD AIR6

The BloodGuard is a chemical finish that is applied onto a desired fabric. This finish gives our fabric haemophobic and hydrophobic properties. These properties alter the surface characteristic of the durable synthetic exterior of our products, preventing blood and other liquid pass-through.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BLOODGUARD

The manufacturer allows for approximately 40 wash cycles for the blood guard.All fabrics finished with a blood guard should be washed gently in a cool wash with minimal rubbing and harsh cleaning products. Gentle washing will significantly extend the life of the blood guard.

Breathetex Filter

Breathetex 140WH (140P or C110P) is one of the current components of the shaped N95 mask. This filter is used as the centre layer of our mask and is sometimes teamed with an additional Breathtex layer to achieve a higher filtration efficacy.

Adheretex Nano filter

Fibertex Nonwovens has developed a versatile component – Adhetex 40A90NP0 – which is designed to improve the filtration efficiency of protective face masks and to also extend their safe storage period. By utilising premium, high-efficiency Fibertex nanofibre layers in the production of protective face masks, end-users can expect to reach N95 and FFP2 level of protection.

The filters that we use

We use the Breathetex filter range and the Adheretex Filter.

The filters themselves are tested but not certified. The filter and the mask are TOGETHER certified to a specific rating. All our masks are currently in certification and the certificates will be released shortly. We expect our Breathetex filter range to be rated for industry and public use, while the masks using Adheretex will be rated for medical use. We are also able to use locally manufactured Spunbond and Meltblown to create disposable filters that fit into your reusable / washable mask.

For Business

The general aim has been to ensure the health of the employee to enable them to deliver service to industry.

Our plan is to get Industry back up and running

  • Our masks provide the employer with an economic solution to the prevention transmission of the virus.

  • Wearing a mask in the workplace can be enforced – i.e. the workplace can be a safe place where contraction of the virus is not a problem.

  • The functioning of our economy is not reliant on healthy employee choices, but rather on behaviours enforceable within the workplace.

  • The greatest spin off in this situation could be the reduction of the transmission of TB as it becomes less of a stigma to wear a mask.

For SCHOOL

We have developed a range of smaller sized masks with our standard SILVER+ and BloodGuard finishes.

The masks are available in fun prints and colours

  • Washable and reusable

  • Available with washable and disposable filters

  • Easy to breathe through

  • Comfortable

  • Correct safe fit that is adjustable

  • Available with high spec filters

  • Available on a lanyard to prevent children from muddling up their masks or losing them

  • This mask come in a variety of colours and prints

  • We change the prints and colours regularly, so please enquire as to what is available.

  • Your school logo can be added to the masks in the form of embroidery, printing and labelling

  • Minimum of 1000 labels

For MEDICAL

From the end of April, we will be in a position to supply our medical staff with reusable masks that are:

  • Antimicrobic and blood guarded on the outer layer of fabric.

  • Fitted with a filter that is now being made locally under licence in South Africa.

  • This filter has been proved to filter out 97% of particles and will be rated as a N95 / surgical mask.

  • Available in a variety of fits to best suit the application.

  • Easy to source with a continuous supply.

  • Cheaper than buying disposables.

  • Do not need to be disposed of, which is very expensive.

THESE masks

Our masks are:

  • Washable and reusable

  • Affordable – 3 disposable masks = our filtered SILVERION mask

  • Antimicrobic – they not only limit the activity of the virus, they do not rely on the employee to wash them each day.

  • Healthier for the environment.

  • Locally made, using local materials and providing local employment.

The standard mask has elastic that fits around the back of your head in a closed loop, and then through a channel on the sides of the cheek. When this elastic is pulled gently, it ruches to close the opening on the sides.

A mesh pocket is available in the inside of the mask. The mask can be used:

    • Without a filter

    • With a disposable filter

    • With a washable filter

Additional filters are available
