Which dustproof effect is better, gauze mask or non-woven mask?

Update:13 Jan
Which dustproof effect is better, gauze mask or non-woven mask? Compared with gauze masks and non-woven masks, non-woven masks have better dustproof effect. In terms of mask material alone, the dustproof effect of gauze masks is much worse. The filter material of non-woven masks is electrostatically treated to block large-diameter particles and has excellent protection performance against fine particles; while the filter materials of gauze masks are all mechanical fabrics , it can only protect large-diameter particles, and cannot be used as a professional dust mask.

There are various materials for the filter material of dust masks, including ordinary fabrics, animal hair, non-woven fabrics, etc. What is very popular internationally is a synthetic, electrostatically treated non-woven material. At present, well-known brands such as 3M dust masks and heavy loose masks are high-efficiency anti-haze masks developed by this technology.

What are the advantages of dust masks made of electrostatically treated filter materials?
The structure of the gauze mask has poor adhesion to the human face. Many small particles that are extremely harmful to us will enter the respiratory tract and the lungs through the gap between the mask and the face. Its filter material is generally some mechanical fabrics. The only way to achieve high dust resistance efficiency is to increase the thickness, and the negative effect of increasing the thickness is to make the user feel that the breathing resistance is large and uncomfortable.

The electrostatically treated non-woven fabric can not only block large dust particles, but also the electrostatic charge attached to its surface can adsorb fine dust through electrostatic attraction, achieving high dust blocking efficiency. The thickness of the filter material is very thin, which greatly reduces the breathing resistance of the user and makes them feel comfortable. With good filter material and scientifically designed mask structure, it constitutes a high-efficiency and high-quality mask, which can make you feel convenient and comfortable to use, and can truly protect your health.

For the filter material of a good dust mask, the following three conditions should be met:
1. The filtration efficiency is high when the mask is in good contact with the user's face.
2. The filter material has low breathing resistance.
3. The user feels comfortable.
