Why are n95 masks so expensive?

N95 masks are more expensive because they are made of different raw materials from ordinary masks.

The manufacturing process is also troublesome, and the function of medical N95 mask is mainly to filter particles in the air and block pollutants such as droplets, blood, body fluids and secretions, and the filtering effect on non-oily particles can reach more than 95%.

N95 mask is more effective than other masks. So N95 masks are more expensive than other masks. The main users of N95 masks are high-risk contacts. As long as it is worn correctly, the preventive effect is very good.

N95 and kn95 are mainly N95 masks and kn95 masks. N95 masks are generally more expensive than kn95 masks because of different production standards and processes. The former is produced according to American standards, while the latter is China's standards. The price may be different, but in fact, the protection effect is the same, and everyone can choose according to their own needs.

According to NIOSH certification of the United States, the filtration efficiency of n95 mask is at least 95%, while the filtration efficiency of kn95 mask is equivalent to that of N95 mask according to GB2626 certification of China. However, different testing standards and different production processes will lead to different costs, so the prices will also be different.

Whether it is n95 or kn95 mask, you must look for the model identification when buying it. Under normal circumstances, the mask will have the N95/KN95 logo, and the workmanship is fine. Because the mask is made of 3~5 layers of materials, it is relatively thick.

In addition, there will be implementation standards for mask packaging, and the new standard GB2626-20 19 or medical standard GB 19083-20 10 is qualified.
