Simply put, we wear masks to protect our lungs.  We all go through the exercise of putting on a mask when the situation calls for it but many people wearing masks are not getting the protection they think they are getting.

The facial seal of facemasks is THE most important factor in protecting your lungs. Most dust masks are not designed to seal well to the face while N95 respirators are required by design to seal to the faces of at least half of the people who use them. N95 masks are typically “fit” to each person and a wide selection from different manufacturers is usually required to find the right N95 mask for each individual when that level of filtering is critical.  The SoftSeal silicone seal minimizes this need.

The reason that you find particles in your nose after using most very inexpensive dust masks is that there is no seal around the edges to the face. Particles get drawn into the mask from the edges and into your breathing zone. You might as well not be wearing any mask when you consider how poorly they seal.

SoftSeal Masks, both N95 Respirators and the Premium Filter Masks, have a patented 360 degree medical grade silicone seal that stays sealed to the face while you work, breathe and speak. The SoftSeal N95 Respirator met NIOSH standards and the Premium Filter Masks were tested at an independent lab and received a ≥99% filtration efficiency for both Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) at 3 microns and Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) at 0.1 microns.    SoftSeal is available in different sizes for best fit--sizes range from small to extra-large enabling children and adults to receive protection. When required, filtering ALL the air you breathe is essential for your health.
