All of Epsilon’s masks are ATSM Level 3 certified, meaning they are ideal for procedures in which there is high risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays will be produced), e.g. medical procedures.

Understanding ATSM levels.

• ASTM Level 1: Ideal for procedures in which there is low risk of fluid exposure (no splashes or sprays expected).
• ASTM Level 2: Ideal for procedures in which there is moderate risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays can be produced).
• ASTM Level 3: Ideal for procedures in which there is high risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays will be produced).

Protection Provided Wearing a facemask that has been ASTM-rated will ensure that your nose and mouth (breathing area) are protected against fluids, microorganisms, and particulates at the level to which the mask is rated (i.e., 1, 2, or 3 specifications).

Due to Epsilon compostable masks being compostable and MRI safe, the nose bridge material is not wired, so instead of being rigid, it's like a soft band of fabric.

How to fit your mask:

1. Place the mask on your face and nose with the ear loops over your ears
2. Apply pressure with your thumb and forefinger to the nose bridge over your nose and run your fingers down the side of your nose to your cheeks
3. Repeat this motion 3-5 times to get a good retained fit
4. If needed, you can also hold the nose bridge in place at its base and bend back the ends of the nose wire a little, to ensure a tight fit over your cheeks

Composting of organic waste helps to divert waste from landfill or incineration. Composting is a biological process in which organic wastes are degraded by microorganisms into carbon dioxide, water, and humus, a soil nutrient. Our PLA polymers meet the EN-13432 & ASTM D6400 and/or D6868 standard.
