It’s the world’s first CE-certified nanofiber surgical respirator with virus-trapping and bacteria-killing properties. Using Swiss award-winning nanofiber technology, it has been designed to provide maximum respiratory protection for the wearer against dangerous airborne contaminants including the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). 

While particulate matter or organisms of any size can cause adverse effects to our health, MPPS are especially dangerous. These are small enough to be absorbed directly into our bloodstream and enter our lungs, heart, and brains. NASK cutting-edge nanofiber technology is outstanding at both capturing the hardest particles size under 0.3 μm and protecting health care workers and risk groups from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and pathogens

The initials NASK stands for  N anotechnology,  A nti-dust,  S afe and  K illing Bacteria. 

It is all at once!

FFP2 NR respirator and medical surgical mask able to kill over 99% bacteria on contact and to filter over 99% of dangerous airborne contaminants, ranking it equally with FFP3 respirators, which provides the highest level of protection. NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR has been developed to use latest advances in nanofiber technology to create a highly protective and breathable bactericidal surgical respirator. The adjustable cushioning nose foam guarantees maximum sealing while ensuring comfortable fit and avoiding eyewear fogging. Ultra-thin, feather light (3.6g) and moisture resistant, it delivers a unique wearing comfort for 8+ hours of continuous use.

Before use, users must read and understand general instructions included in the packaging to ensure proper donning and seal.  

NASK nanofibers are produced by using a patented technology with the ability to hold electrostatic charges. The outstanding NASK nanofiber properties include a feather light and extremely thin diameter as thin as 3/1000 a human hair combined with a high specific surface area

NASK advanced electrospun nanofibers are spinned and weaved into multiple layers composed to manufacture NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR. They provide a much higher surface loading capacity than conventional respirators, resulting in superior filtration efficiency, breathability and comfort for 8+ hours of continuous use. 

Using advanced electrospun nanofibers, NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR has a much higher surface loading capacity than conventional respirators. The patented technology used results in superior filtration efficiency of ≥99% against dangerous airborne contaminants, thereby conferring it the filter efficiency of an FFP3 which provides the highest level of protection.

Yes, NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR is proven to kill  99% of bacteria in less than 5 minutes as tested by Nelson Lab (USA). 

The microscopic spear-shaped nanofibers capture bacteria by electrostatic attraction, break-down their cell surface, thus killing bacteria in less than 5 minutes as tested by Nelson Labs USA. 

NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR can not only filter particle size smaller or greater than 0.26 -0.3 microns - but also the so called Most Penetrating Particle Size (MPPS|PM2.5), known  to be the hardest particle size to capture*. Small particles can include fungal spores (2 to 5 μm), bacteria (0.3 to 10 μm), or viruses (0.02 to 0.3 μm). Biological organisms may be carried on other particles including dust, blood and saliva. They are especially dangerous for human health. These are small enough to be absorbed directly into our bloodstream and enter our lungs, heart and brains. 

This allows virus such as SARS-CoV-2, H1N1, Ebola and influenza to be filtered out.

Yes, NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR assures a two-way protection by filtering effectively both inflow and outflow air.

The United Nations Children's Fund and the World Health Organization recommend that face masks are used for children aged six years and older. The guidance recommends a risk‐based approach for children aged 6–11 years of age and children aged 12 and over should be treated as adults when it comes to wearing masks. FFP2 masks are recommended particularly for high‐risk children. 

Conventional FFP2 or FFP3 masks make breathing difficult and therefore, are not recommended to be used by pregnant women. Thanks to its advanced nanofiber technology, NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR ensures a higher level of breathability and may be recommended for pregnant women in high risk areas during limited use. However, pregnant women and high-risk children are advised to follow the advice or consult their doctor or other medical health professionals before using an FFP respirator.

NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR has been tested with sodium chloride and paraffin aerosols and developed to be used in healthcare settings. However, its superior features endow it with the ability to be used in various industrial setting such as but not limited to food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetic, construction and mining.

No, NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR including the S-shape plastic clips are free from additional substances such as preservatives, disinfectants, herbal substances, preparations or other soluble chemicals, substances of animal and human origins. All materials are latex-free. 

The manufacturing premises are located in Hong Kong. NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATORS are manufactured under controlled clean-room conditions, free from dust including temperature and humidity control.

Yes, NASK makes mention of the LOT number, manufacturing and expiry dates on both the box and the individual packaging. 

Even though NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR has superior filtration efficiency with trapping virus and killing-bacteria properties, users are advised to combine hand hygiene with any time they touch their respirator or face, as well as before putting and after taking them off.

We need to differentiate between fit testing and seal checking. 

Fit testing helps assure that the respirator fits and seal properly so potentially contaminated air cannot leak into the respirator and hazardous substances are kept out. Once the fit test is passed successfully NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR can be used. 

A seal check is a quick check performed by the wearer each time the mask is put on. It determines if the mask is properly seated to the face or if it needs to be readjusted. It is not a substitute for a fit test. 

Users are advised to view the donning & doffing video instruction as well as to read and understand instructions for use included in the packaging. 

2 S-shapes plastic clips are provided with NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR to provide several locking positions for matching with different head sizes. They allow to adjust the fitting for optimal sealing. Users are advised to view the donning & doffing video instruction to make best use of the clips.

The high level of breathability in combination with the superior loading capacity and the good resistance to moisture allow NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR to be used continuously for 8 hours or longer. If the respirator becomes damaged, soiled or breathing becomes difficult, users are advised to leave the contaminated area immediately and replace the respirator. As a general rule, users are advised to view the donning & doffing video instruction as well as to read and understand instructions for use included in the packaging.  

As an FFP2 NR  (Not Reusable) , the use of the NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR   is limited to one working day. Evidence on the impact of the re-use of disposable single-use surgical masks and respirators is very limited. However, extended use is favored over re-use because of reduced risk of contact transmission. Such practices should only be considered in situation of critical shortage. 

NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATORS must not touch one another to avoid cross-contamination. Hang used respirators marked with your name in designated storage area or store in the bag provided with the respirator or a box marked with your name. Storage containers should be disposed of or cleaned regularly.

NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR is not designed to be washed, heated-up or UV-light treated. By doing so, the electro charge would be destroyed, thus affecting the filtration efficiency and therefore, the level of protection

The shelf life of NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR is 3 years from the date of manufacture. The bacterial killing function shows as 5 years efficacy. However, we do not recommend to use it after expiry date is reached.

It is recommended to wash hands before taking off NASK NANOFIBER RESPIRATOR. If possible, only elastic ear-bands and clips should be touched when taking it off. It is advised to place the respirator in the individual bag, tied firmly and to dispose either in a garbage bin with lid designed for used materials or with general household waste. In case of confirmed contamination, it is appropriate to write Risk of Contamination on the bag. Finally, you are advised to wash hands with soap and water.
