ActiveMask

Covid-19 changed our lives in 2020. Social distancing, washing hands and wearing face masks became ubiquitous across the globe. These changes helped us fight the spread, but also introduced massive supply and disposal issues for the typical single use masks. More sustainable than single use masks and more effective than washable cloth masks, ActiveMask shifts the expectations for modern PPE.

Sustainable Tech

Active Mask was designed from the ground up to be re-usable, safe and comfortable for long periods of use. Boasting filtered 1-way air intake valves and a central exhale valve, the air flow is highly controlled but not constrained. Custom designed filters use a state-of-the-art sandwich of activated carbon cloth and woollen fibre to clean bacteria and dust from the air without obstructing flow.

The mask itself is moulded in super flexible, medical grade silicone in a compliant profile that smoothly seals on the wearers face to prevent contaminated air from sneaking in, providing optimal protection and comfort. Active Mask is easily cleaned and sterilised for re-use.

Professional Focus

Customisable front panels can be easily branded to suit organisations like the police, ambulance, fire services or even corporate identities. Lightweight, adjustable straps, configurable filter layouts and different sized masks create flexible solutions for business and government customers. Weve even included an integrated face shield to provide added protection for emergency workers and a cool belt pouch for on-the-go storage.
