MyAir Mask Technical Information
MyAir is an advanced filtration mask that is unique in several ways. While most masks simply block airborne particles, MyAir also retains 88% of the moisture from your exhaled breath, supporting health and hydration – in a comfortable, ultra lightweight and fashion-forward design. MyAir is also the only mask that has no seams, latex, elastic, buckles or straps. Coupled with the highest possible rate of airflow (>200 cubic feet per minute), that makes for an exceptionally comfortable product. MyAir filters block 99.997% of all viruses, bacteria, pollen, allergens & contaminants down to 0.1 microns. (Most masks block down to 0.3 microns at best.) With the recent surge of the Delta Variant, many areas of the country have reinstated mask requirements regardless of vaccination status.
What is a Micron and Why Does That Matter?
A micron is a microscopic measurement that can be used to understand the size of particles, viruses, bacteria, etc. As a point of reference, an average human hair is 100 microns thick. Viruses and bacteria are tiny – most of them range from 0.1 microns to 20 microns. MyAir filters block everything down to 0.1 microns, which is 1,000 times smaller than a human hair, filtering out 99.997% of viruses and bacteria.
How Easy is it to Breathe in a Mask?
As shown above, MyAir mask provides exceptional filtration down to 0.1 microns, but a mask must also be easy
to breathe through in order to be effective. In a recent study, MyAir masks were found to be the most breathable
option, even among those with much lower levels of filtration.
Delta P (pressure differential) measures the air flow resistance of a mask and is an objective measure of breathability. The higher the Delta P value, the greater the air flow resistance and the harder it is for the wearer to breathe. Higher Delta P levels can result in a “blow-by” effect (escape of air, and contamination from the sides of an improperly worn mask), or even incorrect use by the wearer. The Delta P is measured in units of mm H2O/cm2. Please note that these numbers are an indication of breathability only, and do not reflect the level of protection that the mask provides.

About the Design
MyAir’s exceptional comfort is due to the unique one-piece design. Made of ultra lightweight, four-way stretch fabric, the sheath provides complete comfort and outstanding breathability. The ear loops are given a half-twist to simultaneously pull down across the nose and up under the chin, optimizing fit without straps, buckles, stiff elastic or latex. MyAir comfort masks conform to almost any face size or shape.
Most importantly, the sheath holds a replaceable filter element over your nose and mouth, to help protect you from airborne viruses, bacteria, contaminants and allergens , while the sheath keeps the rest of your face cool and comfortable.
