HEPA Face Mask Filter Insert by Encore Marketing Limited (25 pack)

Description

Adding one of our five-layer HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing) filters to your home-made face-mask will provide protection far exceeding any other home-made assembly. All our filters are made using 4” x 5” (+ - .250”) media sectioned from commercially available HEPA vacuum bags. These sections are handmade and stapled together with two staples on each perimeter side. All the commercially available HEPA bags used for these filters have five layers of non-woven fabric manufactured by a process known as Melt-Blown and contain NO FIBERGLASS. Our filters can be trimmed to fit almost any home-made mask filter insert area. We recommend our filters be sandwiched between two layers of cotton or existing mask fabric.
Because the HEPA filter is an electrostatic non-woven polypropylene fiber, it is not washable. For usage information we suggest visiting the CDC website and review “
