Sinopex Launches Dental-Grade Comfortable Breathing Mask

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sinopec announced on the 19th that it has succeeded in developing a premium product that improves the 'Sinotex Mask,' the world's first mask filter applying ePTFE in a beak-shaped design.

The Sinotex Premium Light Mask features the 'Sinotex Light' filter developed in-house by Sinopec, showing about 20% improved facial inhalation resistance compared to existing products. The company explained that the inhalation resistance is at the level of a general dental mask.

The Sinotex Light filter uses ePTFE, known as Gore-Tex material, with a pore size of 300 nanometers to effectively block foreign substances. ePTFE is an essential material used in advanced industries such as semiconductors, hydrogen fuel cell membranes, 5G communication cables, and artificial blood vessels. It is characterized by excellent durability, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and safety.

Due to the nature of the material, it is more difficult to reduce filtration efficiency than to increase it. The success in developing the Premium Light Mask demonstrates Sinopec's excellence in nano-level pore size control technology.

The Sinotex Mask adopts ePTFE filters, which are more than 10 times more expensive than general masks, and elastic nonwoven ear loops to ensure product quality. Since its launch, it has recorded monthly growth of 20-30%, emerging as a major brand in the mask market.
