FAQ – ASTM Level 3 Earloop Face Masks

Q1: What protection level do ASTM Level 3 Earloop Face Masks provide?
ASTM Level 3 Earloop Face Masks offer the highest level of barrier protection defined under ASTM F2100 standards. They are tested to achieve ≥98% Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) and ≥98% Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE), ensuring superior protection against airborne pathogens, fluids, and fine particles. This makes them ideal for medical, dental, laboratory, and general occupational use.

Q2: What does “ASTM Level 3” mean in mask standards?
The term “ASTM Level 3” refers to the highest fluid resistance and filtration performance rating under the ASTM F2100 Standard Specification for Performance of Materials Used in Medical Face Masks. These masks resist fluid penetration at 120 mmHg, suitable for procedures with high exposure to sprays, splashes, or aerosols, offering maximum protection for healthcare and industrial workers.

Q3: Are ASTM Level 3 masks suitable for non-medical or workplace use?
Yes. While designed to meet medical-grade standards, ASTM Level 3 masks are also widely used in industrial, commercial, and general workplace environments where high filtration and comfort are required. They help protect against dust, allergens, and non-oil-based airborne particles, ensuring safe, breathable comfort for all-day wear.

Q4: What makes these face masks comfortable for extended wear?
These masks feature soft, latex-free ear loops and a hypoallergenic inner layer, reducing irritation for users with sensitive skin. The adjustable metal nose clip ensures a secure seal, minimizing fogging for eyewear users. Their lightweight, four-layer design enhances breathability without compromising protection, making them suitable for long shifts and clinical settings.

Q5: How does the filtration performance compare to other levels (ASTM 1 or 2)?
Compared to ASTM Level 1 or Level 2 masks, Level 3 masks provide the highest level of fluid resistance and particle filtration, rated for environments where exposure to blood, fluids, or aerosolized contaminants is more likely. This makes Level 3 the preferred choice for surgical procedures, laboratories, and high-risk environments.

Q6: Are these masks made in the USA and certified by a testing lab?
Yes. The ASTM Level 3 Earloop Face Masks are manufactured in the USA and tested by Nelson Labs, a globally recognized independent laboratory. Each batch undergoes certified analysis to verify compliance with ASTM F2101, F2299, and F1862 standards, ensuring authenticity, reliability, and consistent performance.
