Description

3 ply surgical masks are made up of three layers:

• The outer layer is made of a hydrophobic non-woven material (such as polypropylene) that acts as a barrier to liquid and dust particles.

• The middle layer is made of a melt-blown material that acts as a filter and stops smaller particles from entering or exiting the mask.

• The inner layer is made of a soft absorbent non-woven material, which absorbs moisture and sweat from the face. This layer is also responsible for providing comfort to the user.
