An N95 mask<\/strong> or N95 respirator<\/strong> is a particulate-filtering face piece respirator<\/a> that meets the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health<\/a> (NIOSH) N95 classification<\/a> of air filtration, meaning that it filters at least 95% of airborne particles<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

N95 respirators are considered functionally equivalent to certain respirators, such as FFP2 respirators<\/a> of the European Union and KN95<\/a> respirators of China.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The N95 mask requires a fine mesh of synthetic polymer<\/a> fibers, specifically a nonwoven polypropylene<\/a> fabric. It is produced by melt blowing<\/a> and forms the inner filtration layer that filters out hazardous particles.
