Description
INTERCEPT CU22 Mouth-Nose Mask system uses the unique properties of the INTERCEPT polymerized copper structures to create a barrier against bacteria and viruses.
Copper is known scientifically to kill viruses and bacteria unlike silver or zinc bases systems, which only are effective against Bacteria. Unlike other technologies INTERCEPT polymerized copper does not release ions to cause this effect.
INTERCEPT has shown its barrier performance against the harshest of bacteria and viruses in reputable studies over the years and, very recently, also against the coronavirus strains. The test laboratories have been selected even to class3 (access to infectious viruses) to give the best protection possible.
The Filter textiles used have been carefully selected and by themselves pass the stringent FFP3 requirements. This means that the filter will block 99% of all droplets and particles from passing. Beyond that, any droplet, which could hold viruses or bacteria, will adhere to the INTERCEPT CU22TM inner layer and by contact killing the same.
Only high-quality textiles and fabrics have been selected from European origin to assure that no loose fibres are inhaled (a real problem with cheap Asian products). INTERCEPT is an American Technology of highest quality standards.
The first protection system tested to the full extent for filtration protection and active virus/ bacteria killing performance.
Most masks and protection systems are designed to protect other people from your exhaled possible infections.
The size of the masks and filter have been selected to enable high protection, but also to reduce the dangerous built-up of CO2 inside the mask. This is a real problem in other systems and it will lead to a low blood oxygen level.
Our protection systems are carefully designed to allow to wear the masks over extended times with lesser CO2 build-up.
The INTERCEPT CU22TM mask is washable at 60°C (140oF), which guarantees a long lifetime. Higher temperatures must be avoided as this will lead to de-lamination.
The INTERCEPT CU22TM filter can be used for max. 4 weeks after which it needs to be replaced.
The system used tie-down versions instead of rubber bands on purpose. Rubber bands will lead to pain over time.
