Made with Colan PAM™ knitted and non woven fabrics containing Metis PCA fibre.
Our Colan PAM knitted mask is made using two layers of knitted Colan PAM fabric with a middle layer of 50 gsm non woven Colan PAM fabric. The middle fabric layer provides an added level of protection that was provided by our 2 layer mask. Made in Australia.
- Colan PAM fabrics are inherently anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Like our socks, Colan PAM™ masks do not need to be washed unless they become dirty. If washing is required, hand in cold or warm water. Lay flat or hang to dry.
- The mask is not a surgical mask. The mask is not a N95 mask. The mask does not completely seal on your face.
- The mask is available in two sizes, large and medium.
Important Information
Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).
If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.
Your best protection is still to keep 1.5 metres apart from other people, to wash your hands thoroughly and regularly, and cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow.
