Their textures are light and soft, so they are comfortable to wear, and the surface patterns are rich in color. Most of them are used for wind and heat preservation. Whether the mask can be anti-virus is mainly due to its filter material. The cloth mask is mainly made of cotton or chemical fiber fabric. It has a certain function of warmth and windproof, basically does not have the function of adsorbing bacteria and preventing dust. Its structure has a poor adhesion to the human face. Many fine particles that are extremely harmful to the human body will enter the respiratory tract to the lungs through the gap between the mask and the face. Its filter material is usually some mechanical fabric. This filter material The only way to achieve high dust suppression efficiency is to increase the thickness, and the negative effect of increasing the thickness is to make the user feel that the breathing resistance is very large, making people feel uncomfortable.
