KN95 Face Mask

KN95 Face Mask

A KN95 face mask, a folding respirator-style mask that filters airborne particles when worn snugly over nose and mouth.

Typical use

KN95 is a Chinese-standard rating for masks that filter at least 95 percent of small airborne particles in testing. Multiple layers and ear loops make them suitable for healthcare staff, visitors and workers in dusty areas, though they do not replace the fit-tested respirators that some procedures require.

Before you order

Ask for the standard the mask is certified to and the test report, and confirm the pack size. Check the nose clip and ear loops for a secure fit, and whether the masks are individually wrapped.
