There is no alternative but to use masks in the context of our country, including preventing the spread of the ongoing coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended the use of fabric masks for the general people.
The government of Bangladesh has also made it compulsory to wear a mask when going out and punishment if not.
Therefore, Urmi Group has launched a three-layered antiviral and antimicrobial face mask ‘Turaag Protex’ using Swiss Technology (HeiQ Viroblock) to bring world-class personal protection products for safety and within the reach of public affordability.
The ‘Turaag Protex’ mask is made by applying Swiss technology (HeiQ Viroblock) which is 99.9 percent effective in killing viruses and it is tested and proven by a neutral organization following ISO 18184: 2019 policy. Made with reusable fabric, it is possible to wash the mask and use it up to 25 times. It is also very soft and comfortable for long time use.
‘Turaag Protex’ Antiviral and Antimicrobial Face Mask are available for men and women in different colors. This mask will also be available for children soon.
The anti-viral mask is made with three layers of fabric; The outer layer fabric can prevent any water droplet to pass through. The middle layer fabric is treated with HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 which can destroy viruses. The ingredients used for the middle layer of this mask are proven by ISO 18184: 2019 test to achieve 99.9 percent virus inactivity in a matter of minutes. The last outer layer is made of a special waterproof fabric that can protect against tiny water particles from sneezing and coughing. The technology in the fabric attracts oppositely charged viruses and binds them permanently to their sulfur groups, forming silver sulfide – immobilizing and inactivating all viruses. Prolonged use of this mask does not cause any problem in breathing.
Also, since the mask has a nose bridge over the nose and an adjustable string for ear, the mask sticks to the face in such a way that no germs or dust can enter from outside. It should be noted that the nose bridge will prevent glasses from blurring that occurs often when one uses a mask with their glasses.
In this regard, Urmi Group Managing Director Asif Ashraf said, “We have produced antiviral face masks at affordable prices realizing the needs of the people of Bangladesh as well as providing products to protect foreigners during these difficult times. Recently, we have launched ‘Turaag Protex’, an international standard antiviral and antimicrobial face mask, as the first high performance mask in Bangladesh, developed following the policy of High-Performance Mask made by The Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA).” ♦
