KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

ProXmask(TM) is the first antiviral face mask mass-produced in the Asia Pacific

by Prolexus Group. The antiviral face mask created by Prolexus Group is a

remarkable example of conventional OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for

globally renowned sports apparel to expand the business horizon amid last

year's COVID-19 pandemic to swiftly tap into the face mask market with highly

innovative fabric technologies ahead of conventional reusable face masks in the

market.  

Better Filtration and Breathability compared with Double-Masking

The U.S. CDC conducted experiments highlighting the importance of good fit to

maximise mask performance and effectively control the spread of COVID-19.

ProXmask(TM) is positioned as a virus protection essential by being embedded

with a high quality filtration structure and designed to fit closely against

the face for a better seal and ease of breathing.  

Innovative Features

ProXmask(TM) is also greater in terms of ease of wear and functionalities:

-The antiviral function of ProXmask(TM) has been tested effective 99% reduction

of SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19, other coronaviruses and bacteria, as an

enhanced virus protection feature.[https://www.prolexus.com.my/public/files/b1ccd97b4d83e28e0062f220a7a6b5b2260bfac9cf062d52132cc04747f1f360.pdf]

-The water repellency feature enables effective shielding from respiratory

droplets containing viruses and bacteria.[https://www.prolexus.com.my/public/files/89f2017873acc43bf85197d601c5d9e858f4b35d4842d32f4fd72277681546f2.pdf]

-ProXmask(TM) micro-filtration technology enables greater than or equal to 95%

PFE (Particle Filtration Efficiency)[https://www.prolexus.com.my/public/files/72a10b6534930576977d1df19c2ca692d3a73dbc3177460c5e4d75017aa27568.pdf]

and BFE (Bacteria Filtration Efficiency)[https://www.prolexus.com.my/public/files/a14691e267f7755fc977571c705776d35de4637f82c8b828c83f2fd0da43a430.pdf].

-Washable and reusable up to 60 times, which makes it an environmentally

friendly product.    

-Ergonomic design with adjustable earloops, nose wires, and enhanced

cone-shaped designs that fit well, leaving a comfortable gap between mask and

lips.    

Dr. Zetty, Research and Development Specialist of Prolexus Group said, "We are

proud to introduce ProXmask(TM) that will help people feel protected and

alleviate the fear of COVID-19 infection while still practising hygiene and

social distancing, especially at a time when a highly contagious SARS-CoV-2

virus strain is spreading."

The innovative and cutting-edge antiviral technology is supported by a

well-known European textile chemical manufacturer, HeiQ Materials AG, whereby

the fundamental of the antiviral technology involves the presence of active

positive charges on the fabric, as binding sites for viruses. Upon contact with

the fabric, virus cells that are negatively charged are neutralised, leading to

the rapid destruction of their glycoprotein layers and the release of

non-infectious ribonucleic acid (RNA).

ProXmask(TM) is registered with FDA and CE and is also the first fabric mask in

Malaysia to obtain product certification from SIRIM QAS International

recognising for its product quality control. The face mask is also accredited

by internationally renowned labs from Interlek, TUV SUD, NIOSH, and more.
