Yuhan-Kimberly to Supply Droplet Blocking Masks Starting from the 6th

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Yuhan-Kimberly announced on the 2nd that it will begin full-scale supply of droplet-blocking masks approved as quasi-drugs from the 6th of this month.

The droplet-blocking masks (KF-AD) produced and sold by Yuhan-Kimberly are lightweight and thin products that block droplets, known as the main infection route of COVID-19, providing infection prevention effects.

The droplet-blocking masks, released in three types including flat and three-dimensional shapes, will be sold under two brands, Kleenex and Cleanguard. Kleenex will be supplied mainly to general consumers, while Cleanguard will be supplied mainly for B2B bulk purchases such as general industrial companies.

Yuhan-Kimberly's self-developed ultra-electrostatic ALPHA Filter has been applied. The ALPHA Filter has a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of over 99% while being easy to breathe through, and Yuhan-Kimberly expects it to reduce the discomfort of wearing masks in summer. In particular, it plans to supply small-sized droplet-blocking masks, which have been scarce in the market, helping children and lower-grade elementary school students use masks.

Yuhan-Kimberly expects a monthly production volume of about 10 million units. If there are difficulties in mask supply in the market, it plans to prepare to supply up to 16 million units per month. However, this may vary depending on the supply situation of raw materials and various components.

It plans to supply through its own mall MamQ, online shopping malls, and large supermarkets. The price is expected to be supplied at around 700 won based on its own mall MamQ, and various products at different price points will be added in the future. Consumer prices may vary depending on individual retailers.
