The first is an additive used in masks that has become an issue recently.

According to a media report on November 2, a research team from Nanjing University of Information Science in China and University of Galway in Ireland used ultra-precision equipment to measure VOCs emitted from masks and their decomposition time through the overseas journal ‘Environmental Science and Technology Bulletin’. The results of the analysis were announced.

It has been pointed out that the unique smell emitted when using a new mask can be harmful to the human body.

It is said to be the first time that the emission and retention time of chemicals have actually been measured.

First of all, VOC is an abbreviation for volatile organic compound. As a result of the experiment, methanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and acetaldeha were released in an air-injected mask for about 1 hour. It is said that 15 types of volatile organic compounds, including id, were discovered.

Methanol and acetone are quickly absorbed into the human body and can cause vomiting and abdominal pain in a short period of time. Acetonitrile is an eye irritant and acetaldehyde can cause vomiting if exposed for long periods of time.

Recently, many products featuring children's characters have been released, but it is necessary to check whether the ink used and the adhesive that bonds the ink to the mask are edible ink and eco-friendly adhesive.

In particular, the “fluorescent whitening agent” used to make the color of the mask stand out. A substance that reacts to invisible light of an invisible wavelength and reflects it as blue-white light. It is a dye that makes colors appear brighter and whiter, thus improving product value.

Fluorescent whitening agents are toxic and inhibit the growth and development of aquatic organisms. It is reported to be a harmful substance that causes cancer, mutations, eczema, and atopy in humans.

“ Synotex masks use self-made filters, The ePTFE membrane filter is a high-performance filter made using an additive-free method using self-developed stretching technology. ”

In addition, the spongeboard (non-woven fabric) used in the mask is made from purely domestic fabric. We manage MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and chemical information. We thoroughly manage our products through our own import inspection

In particular, it is a highly safe product that has passed the baby product safety standard test for 48 hazardous substances known to be the most stringent in terms of safety.

Moreover, safety has been secured by obtaining certification not only for infant-sized products but also for adult-sized products. We are managing it well.

Stay safe and healthy with the Sinotex mask with additive-free ePTFE filter.
