Mechanism of Action in Biotrap face mask:
Layer – 1: Which is water repelling layer, and it will not allow to enter any arerosol/mist to be penetrated, as major respiratory viral diseases are spread through the sneezing and coughing by the infected person.
Layer – 2: Layer – 2 contains very high salt concentration. If any microbe is able to penetrate through Layer-1, then it will come in contact of salts, which will absorb all the water from the microorganism and will inactivate/kill it.
Layer – 3: Layer 3 contains Vitamin-E and Curcumin from Turmeric. The Enveloped virus and bacteria which contains lipid bi-layer at their periphery which is oily in nature. Vitamin – E being oily in nature will enable hydrophobic adsorption of the microbes, and it will kill/inactivate them based on antioxidant activity of Vitamin-E. Additionally it contains dissolved Curcumin, which possess broadspectrum anti-bacterial and anti-viral activity, which will again ensure killing of the microbes.
Layer – 4 & 5: These are similar to Layer 1 and 2. When infected person wears the mask, layer 5 and 4 will not allow aerosol/sneeze/mist of the infected person to pass through the barrier.
In addition to filtration, this mask works on the principle of Filtration + Adsorption + Killing/inactivation of the contacting microbes, while normal masks like N95 works only on the principle of filtration of microbes.
Since normal N95 masks works on filtration principle, it will have active microbes on the surface after usage, while in BioTrap they will be inactivated due to salt, curcumin (turmeric) and Vitamin E, by the known mechanisms of Osmolysis, microbicidal activities. Filtration efficiency is as same as N95 & it can be used up to 5 days.
