"The management team believes the disposable NanoFense Protective Face Mask holds the potential to revolutionize the market for face masks due to its unique ability to not only filter harmful pathogens, but also eradicate pathogens that collect on the mask during use. The technology differs significantly from all other known supposed antimicrobial filtration devices as performance testing is conducted on a NanoFense-coated mask; not on an antimicrobial agent which may then be added to a generic face mask after testing."

"Silver nanoparticles can be incorporated in textile fibres by immersion in a colloidal solution of silver or by melt-spinning the polymer with silver nanoparticles or even by spraying nanoparticles on the tissue. However, in order to be efficient, the silver particles must be present on the fibre surface and efficacy." may diminish with washing."
