Face Masks

3 years ago

We just had a Government lady stop by the house on other than coronavirus business, but she did have a certain brand of paper masks that she was recommending. It was not this one below, but she had some interesting things to say. She had heard that within a few weeks, the Government will be putting out a notice that cloth masks will no longer be acceptable in public and paper disposable masks will be required.
If you were planning on a cloth mask business in Panama, you might want to hold off on that until we get official notification. I like these masks below as they are N95 and they have an exhalation valve, so that breathing is smooth. So here is one mask, if you can find any, that you may wish to stock up on. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Makrite is one of the world's leading manufacturers of disposable face masks. Founded in 1984 in Taipei, Taiwan, the company always strives to provide the best possible face mask products to our valued customers worldwide. The products are now used in the medical, industrial, automotive and the consumer markets all over the world – keeping workers safe and productive, while keeping the products affordable.

Makrite set up manufacturing in China to produce specially designed disposable face masks and particulate respirator masks to meet governmental requirements in many countries. They work closely with NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the U.S., and with INSPEC in England, Apave in France to insure our products are up-to-date and meet all necessary U.S. and CE requirements. They also have product approvals in China (LA), Russia (GOST), Korea (KOSHA), Japan (JIS), Australia and New Zealand (AS/NZS).

These certification organizations will conduct annual quality audits for the production sites. Through these audits, they will strictly inspect all aspects of our quality control system such as production procedures and execution tracking. Due to good audit results over the years, we can ensure that Makrite will always serve all our customers with the highest quality production standards and products.
