- Graphene face masks designed by Kronos remove 99.9% of bacteria, virus particles
- KNOS believes these are the highest filtration-efficiency numbers for any face masks in the market
- Kronos is focused on next-generation wellness consumer-electronics products and PPE solutions
Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS) is continuing its role as a leader in the world of advanced air filtration. The company offers N95 face masks made in the USA by a NIOSH-certified facility and Kronos-designed graphene face masks, an ideal addition to the company’s line of products designed to fight viruses and kill germs.
“An N95 mask is a type of respirator that meets U.S. quality standards,” states the Mayo Clinic (https://ibn.fm/wI7kM). “An N95 offers the highest level of protection. It offers more protection than a medical mask does because it filters out both large and small particles when the wearer inhales. Nonsurgical N95s can be used by the general public.”
According to Kronos CEO Michael Rubinov, “Our goal is to provide the best available protective face masks on the market for those in higher-exposure risk environments, with the best technology available. Our Kronos graphene technology achieves this not only as of the highest protection properties but also by completely reducing the number of viable bacteria and virus particles that are able to pass through the mask materials to zero” (https://ibn.fm/A1xB2).
According to Kronos, its five-ply graphene face masks remove 99.9% of bacteria and virus particles compared to the common and far less efficacious ASTM level 3 mask. The company noted that ASTM level 3 is the FDA’s highest rating for medical and surgical face masks, and the Kronos face mask is the only five-ply graphene mask known to be manufactured in the United States.
“With BFE and VFE levels over 99.9%, the company believes that these are the highest filtration efficiency numbers for any face masks in the market,” stated Kronos. “All test method acceptance criteria were met. Testing was performed in compliance with U.S. FDA good manufacturing practice (‘GMP’) regulations 21 CFR Parts 210, 211, and 820.”
The need for high-quality masks continues, even as the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be easing in the United States. Some parts of the world are seeing spikes in numbers, and experts predict that the threat of COVID-19 is far from over.
“Many health experts say the loosening of COVID restrictions is probably due to rising COVID fatigue, in which people are tired of mandates, lockdowns, and anxiety-inducing daily case and death numbers,” a recent “Fortune” article states. The article quoted Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization (“WHO”): “In some countries, high vaccine coverage, combined with the lower severity of omicron, is driving a false narrative that the pandemic is over. . . . At the same time, low vaccine coverage and low testing rates in other countries are creating the ideal conditions for new variants to emerge.”
The “Fortune” article noted the consensus among experts that new COVID variants will soon emerge that may or may not be more virulent; the delta and omicron variants are examples of variants that have already been identified. “The WHO has warned the next COVID variant will be more infectious than omicron, and it may be more deadly,” the article states.
Kronos is focused on next-generation wellness consumer-electronics products and PPE solutions. Originally founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers, the company has since evolved into the consumer air-purification space, initially focusing on developing, marketing and selling its proprietary air movement and purification technology. Its proprietary technology is now also being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes and vehicles of all types to move, sterilize and filter air. The company is exploring broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices, including schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, and automobiles and commercial aircraft cabins.
