05.19.20

Madaline fabric provides up to 90% bacterial filtration efficiency and up to 98% particle filtration efficiency

Mogul initiated the development of reusable and washable microfilament cloth face mask (www.clothmask.com) by using its revolutionary Madaline microfilament fabric, made up with the patented hybrid hydro-entangled technology. Madaline fabric is composed of 70% PET and 30% PA6 microfilaments, with size down to 0.2 denier and 100 times thinner than human hair. The Madaline manufacturing process is eco-friendly, without adding any binder, solvent, PVC, and finishing agents. The microfilament cloth face mask is safe for human skin contact, even for children and skin-sensitive individuals, certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and ECARF.

Its innovative manufacturing technology and unique microfilament structure make Madaline fabric a suitable material choice for making reusable and washable cloth face mask. The Madaline microfilament cloth face mask has the following advantages:
  • Up to 90% bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) and up to 98% particle filtration efficiency (PFE) – tested by Nelson Lab on 100 gsm Madaline fabric.
  • Skin and allergy friendly
  • Good breathability
  • Soft and comfortable due to the endless microfilaments
  • Lint-free and no fraying edge
  • Economic, durable, and washable
  • Good moisture management due to the capillary action effect
  • Converting processability (slitting, cutting, stitching, ultrasonic, and printing etc.)

The Madaline microfilament cloth face mask is available just in time in the market to help control the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. CDC recommends wearing cloth face masks in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. The use of cloth face masks can slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.

The microfilament cloth face mask products are available in two forms: Finished cloth face mask ready-to-sell and face mask “Cut Sheet” for the DIY segment. Masterbatch colors and one-sided printing are options for customers.
