Problem
Many face masks struggle to balance effective filtration with comfortable breathability, leading to user discomfort and inconsistent usage. Existing masks often compromise on one aspect to improve the other, resulting in either inadequate protection or reduced user compliance due to difficulty breathing.
Solution
Aries provides barrier face coverings engineered with Captur™ a novel, single-layer nonwoven fabric that balances high filtration efficiency with enhanced breathability. The masks meet ASTM F3502 Level 2 standards for both particulate filtration and breathability. The proprietary manufacturing process adds an electrostatic charge, eliminating the need for a meltblown layer and reducing supply chain dependencies. Designed for extended wear, Aries masks offer a durable and comfortable solution for daily protection.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals and organizations seeking comfortable, breathable face masks that meet recognized performance standards for filtration, including workforces, schools, and government entities.
