The Singapore company, which was founded in 2019, provides two types of personal protective equipment (PPE) disposable masks, such as:

1) N95 surgical respirator. The anti-viral N95 surgical respirator from the company is designed with cutting-edge continuous self-decontamination technology. The masks are designed to be effective against coronaviruses, which have a 99.99 percent inactivation rate within 1 minute, influenza, which has a 99.9 percent inactivation rate of 15 different flu strains within 5 minutes, measles-like airborne transmission, which has a 99.99 percent inactivation rate within 5 minutes, toxic gas, pm 2.5, and 10 pollutants that affect air quality, viruses and bacteria, and allergens such as tree, weed and grass pollens.

The masks have the following characteristics: (1) outer layer made of high-quality non-woven cloth coated with Citric Acid to disarm viruses in a low pH environment and layered with special hydrophilic plastic to capture and then draw contaminated droplets into the anti-viral layer leaving no residues on the surface of the mask; (2) anti-viral layer made of high-quality moisture retention materials and treated with active biometal ions, Zn2+ and Cu2+ to effectively inactivate trapped viruses and other harmful pathogens within minutes; (3) filter layer made of high-performance melt-blown material and electrostatically-charged to effectively attract and capture small airborne particles for maximized protection; (4) inner layer made of hypoallergic non-woven cloth which is skin-friendly made of soft fabric materials to provide wearers with ultimate comfort even over an extended period of time and comes with water-proof function or fluid resistance to provide extra protection.

2) FFP2/KN95 disposable face masks provide a minimum of 94% filtration percentage, up to 10 times the respective occupational exposure limit (OEL*), and a maximum of 8% leakage to the inside. Respirators in this protection class protect the wearer from solid and liquid particles, dust, smoke, and aerosols harmful to health. The FFP2 respirators offered can be used in areas where fibro genic particles are present, which can cause short-term irritation of the respiratory tract and long-term damage to lung tissue. Their FFP2 masks are also made to be very comfortable to wear.

Through a distribution services agreement, the Singapore company is looking for distribution partners for their disposable masks in the European market. The company's motivation for pursuing such partnerships includes the desire to expand into new overseas markets, introduce new product development, and enhance their product portfolio presence in overseas markets, accelerate revenue growth, and increase profit margins.
