Face mask makers struggle to keep up with demand
13/03/2020
Odour-control specialists Polygiene, whose technology is used in the face masks, said Airiunum had placed an additional order to keep up with the growing demand.
According to Polygiene, the filter efficiency of 98% in the Urban Air Mask provides protection from airborne contaminants and reduces exposure to bacteria, while the Polygiene treatment gives additional protection as it reduces bacteria and virus in the mask material by over 99%.
Airinum said it expects to have a limited amount of masks available in April and a large amount of masks and filters available in July.
“On one hand, this is good for our business. But at the same time, we don’t want this to happen. It is a paradox in our business, that when the world suffers, we get more orders. We would rather see a solution to the corona outbreak rather than get massive orders right now” said Fredrik Kempe, CEO of Airinum.
