About the Ford N95 Mask

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we already had some clear masks available. However, they offered minimal protection.

Ford's designed and created clear N95 masks, and currently, the patent is pending. What's fantastic about these masks is that it's see-through yet doesn't cost much to purchase. In addition, they're reusable respirators, which means you can cut down on waste too.

The Ford N95 respirator mask offers top-notch protection because they're airtight. They fit snugly and have a carefully designed filtration system so that exhalations aren't distributed around the mask wearer.

This offers extra protection from airborne particles, which are key players in spreading the virus. In fact, NIOSH-approved N95 masks can filter out at least 95% of airborne particles!Testing was done on these masks in the winter and distribution of the Ford N95 mask should happen sometime in spring. It's not known whether these masks will be sold or donated.
