PR91156
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.
