The VIROGARD personal protective mask is manufactured from high quality non-woven 40gsm material that has been contoured for an ergonomic fit to the face such that it can be worn without discomfort for long periods. It is simple to fit and wear.

There are two unique features of the VIROGARD mask:

• A proprietary antimicrobial polymer coating is incorporated in the fabric which ensures that no micro-organism can survive on its surface, let alone pass through. The coating cannot 'leach', contains no heavy metals, fluoro chemicals or pesticides, and is totally non-hazardous to humans. The coating is fatal to bacteria and viruses though, and this antimicrobial action is effective for the life of the fabric. The mask can be washed up to 20 times and/or hot-ironed without affecting the antimicrobial action.
• A proprietary and permanent water and oil repellent coating is also incorporated in the fabric. This coating — technically a "dendrimer nano-structure" — is environmentally friendly and dispersed through the fabric's fiber matrix.

To make doubly sure of its protective properties, there are TWO layers of equally effective coated material in the VIROGARD mask.
