Why the inner layer of a disposable medical mask is hydrophilic

Editor:Zhejiang Antipollution Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. │ Release Time:2023-09-01
The inner layer of a disposable medical mask is typically made of a hydrophilic (water-absorbing) material. Its primary purpose is to absorb moisture, such as the wearer's respiratory droplets, sweat, and moisture from the external environment.

The hydrophilic inner layer helps to keep the mask dry and comfortable to wear for extended periods. When the wearer exhales, respiratory droplets and moisture are trapped within the mask, and the inner layer helps to absorb and distribute the moisture away from the skin. This feature is especially important to maintain comfort and reduce irritation during prolonged use.

By absorbing moisture, the inner layer also helps to prevent the mask from becoming excessively wet, which could compromise the filtration efficiency of the middle layer and potentially allow particles to pass through the mask.

The combination of the outer hydrophobic layer repelling fluids and the inner hydrophilic layer absorbing moisture contributes to the overall effectiveness and comfort of disposable medical masks in reducing the spread of respiratory droplets and particles. It is essential to use the Medical Disposable Flat Mask properly and dispose of them safely after use to ensure they remain effective and hygienic.
