It feels light, fitting and doesn’t clog up the nostrils when you breathe.
There are three versions for different levels of protection and breathability, in 4 colours and 3 sizes.
Each mask can be rinsed once a week for up to 30 times – so that works out to 210 days of usage.
“The pandemic has changed the way we live and some of these behavioural changes, along with the virus, are here to stay for the foreseeable future. Around the world, people will continue to wear masks, carry sanitizers and wash their hands frequently to ward off Coronavirus,” says Livinguard Asia’s Director and Senior Vice President of APAC, Ankit Mital.
The mask protects the wearer with an outer layer treated with Livinguard technology with 24 billion charges per square centimeter.
The positive charge on the outside layer of the mask hooks and arrests the negatively charged bacteria and viruses (including more than 99.9% of SARS-COV-2 that causes COVID-19) and kills them.
Once destroyed, the microbes fall off and can be washed off.

“Through the power of permanent disinfection, Livinguard Technology aims to improve the health and well-being of communities globally. Singapore’s response to the pandemic has been a successful model for many countries that are still facing intense COVID-19 outbreak. Part of the success is due to the enforced use of masks and the continued focus on promoting good hygiene habits. Livinguard masks are well-placed to help Singaporeans embrace the new normal by providing the highest level of hygiene and protection for their day-to-day lives,” added Mital.

Many more applications across various other industries are in the pipeline.
