China Production Masks that Can Be Used 10 Times – Two companies in Shanghai produce face masks that can be recycled. This is the first type of recycled mask in China produced related to the corona virus outbreak.
The Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Committee revealed that the new KN95 mask adopted nanotechnology that can be reused 10 times after disinfection. These factories now make 100 thousand masks per day and the results are expected to reach 300 thousand per day next Friday. This mask will be valued at 15-25 yuan.
Quoted from the South China Morning Post, the new unnamed mask is claimed to follow KN95 standards, which are similar to certifications for American N95 and European FFP2. This means that each mask can filter out 95 percent of particles with a median mass diameter of 0.3 micrometers. Inside the mask is a thin nanofiber membrane that can filter 95 percent of particles as small as 0.075 micrometers. Corona virus has a diameter of about 0.1 micrometers.
The ability to filter masks can last for 200 hours, more than 20 times that of normal disposable masks.

“Some of the major indexes [of our masks] have reached medical use standards,” Bei Shiwei, general manager of the Juchen company, told Xinmin Evening News.
But the masks for medical use must undergo asepsis processing, while our companys production environment does not meet that requirement. Therefore, Link 66Ceme to ordinary citizens rather than medical staff our masks will be sold.”
It is not clear when reusable masks will be available for sale. The Xinmin Evening News reports that besides the portion allocated by the government, the rest will be sold on Pinduoduo, China’s e-commerce platform.
Authorities have encouraged producers to make recycled masks because there is a shortage of melted nonwovens and nonwoven fabrics, raw materials for disposable masks, he said.
According to Shanghai authorities, masks have high air permeability and are waterproof. Those who wear one for a long time will not feel their mouths get moist, authorities say.
