[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Nano-materials specialist Lemon announced on the 3rd that its 'AirQueen Yellow Dust and Protective Mask' has sold out completely amid growing concerns over the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia).


Founded in 2012, Lemon launched the lifestyle brand 'AirQueen' in April last year, the first in the industry to apply nano membrane technology, selling protective masks and women's sanitary pads. The AirQueen protective mask, which uses cutting-edge nano membrane material, has been recognized for its excellent filter efficiency and high air permeability, surpassing 12 million pre-orders. Accordingly, from February 3rd, the production line will operate 24 hours a day to supply more than 4 million units per month.


Unlike other companies' products that use general filters, AirQueen applies a nano fiber filter to perfectly block not only fine dust but also infectious agents. By adopting a three-layer air purifier-type filter structure, which is one layer lighter than the existing four-layer structure, it allows comfortable breathing even when wearing the mask.


The filtering efficiency is also enhanced by the structural mesh of the nanofibers. The nano membrane has excellent air permeability and maintains about 80% of its performance even 24 hours after exposure to moisture. In contrast, masks using the conventional electrostatic dust collection method are vulnerable to moisture, causing a rapid decline in electrostatic capacity and reduced filtering efficiency over time.


Its ergonomic three-dimensional design perfectly fits from the nose to the chin, preventing the inflow of fine dust and slippage, which is another strength. Compared to other brands' products weighing over 5g, it weighs only 4.38g, making it much lighter and not heavy or stuffy even after long use. The AirQueen Yellow Dust Protective Mask consists of the adult and child version 'AirQueen Yellow Dust Mask (KF80)' and the adult version 'AirQueen Protective Mask (KF94)'. The adult masks come in two colors, black and white, depending on the model, while the child version 'AirQueen Yellow Dust Mask (KF80)' is sold in a single type.



Meanwhile, Lemon received approval for preliminary review for KOSDAQ listing from the Korea Exchange on December 27 last year and is scheduled to be listed on the 28th. Institutional demand forecasting will be held on the 12th and 13th of this month, and subscription for general investors will take place on the 19th and 20th.
