UVMask Review 2020-2021
Its patent-pending design is a real-time active defense system against all airborne pathogens and air pollutants, providing total
filtration in under 0.1 seconds.
Cutting-Edge Safety Design & Tech
Are you happy with your N95 mask? Can’t imagine anything more
effective?
Ordinary face masks are ineffective against the smallest
pathogens, uncomfortable, hard to talk through, and they fog up glasses easily.
UVMask has been designed from the ground up to filter and
eliminate even the smallest pathogens, provide a comfortable and cool-wearing
experience, not get in the way of conversation and effectively circulate the air you breathe away from your face.
$100+ for a mask? That’s too much! I can get disposable masks
for 50 cents…
While it might look like buying disposable cheap masks will be a
little more economical, effectively wearing surgical masks every day can cost
anywhere between $480-1,000 per year as you need to change them 4 times a day
according to recommendations!
UVMask’s average cost starts at only $0.14 per day for low use,
and only goes up to $1 per day if you use it for 8+ hours.
Change the filters weekly if you wear it consistently over the
course of a week and daily if you are using it for multiple hours every day.
Each box comes with 10x FFP2/N95 filters included.
Extreme Efficiency
While larger pathogens can be blocked by typical N95 masks to a
certain extent, some smaller pathogens get through the mesh. But with UVMask,
the active UV-C light eliminates those before they reach you!
UVMask uses a first-of-its-kind UV-C LED light to offer more
than just filtration. This type of LED tech has never before seen practical
implementation in face mask purification.
Light intensities and the time required have been too
impractical to effectively purify pathogens as small as 0.1 microns at the
speed we breathe.
Until now. With state-of-the-art UVC LED innovations and years
of scientific tests, UVMask has finally made this possible.
Breakthrough UV-C Tech
Go beyond filtration with 2-step purification. While typical
masks only provide passive protection, UVMask is the world’s first mask to
provide total active UV-C protection.
As you breathe, the air is sent through the vortex and
sterilized under two state-of-the-art 275nm pure UV-C LEDs.
They each emit 25,000μW/cm² and are connected by a high
pass-through PMMA chamber wall, making the total UV-C intensity 50,000μW/cm²
throughout.
100% Safe &
Ozone-Free (Video Proof)
UVMask’s UV-C LEDs produce a very narrow spectrum of UV-C light,
unlike the sunlight that reaches the Earth. The light they produce is
ozone-free and ultra-safe.
All the UV-C light is sealed within the Sterile-Vortex, which
means there is no UV-C leakage during the filtration process, and it will never
reach your skin.
Although some types of UV light are capable of generating ozone
(O3), a gas that naturally exists in the upper atmosphere, only UV wavelengths
of 185 nm or shorter can generate ozone (source).
UVMask uses 275nm wavelength UV-C LEDs, which reliably generate
a very pure and narrow range of UV-C that does not go shorter than 255nm.
UV-C at this narrow pure range has been empirically tested to be
incapable of generating ozone. Each UVMask is factory-tested for its UV-C
wavelength purity to ensure its high safety standard.
Leak-Proof and
Lab-Certified
UVMask has been independently tested and certified by the ISO
17025 accredited SGS Lab, the Swiss-based conglomerate with 89,000+ employees
worldwide.
UVMask has been tested by SGS to be completely safe according to
UL1598 CRD (dated 2020-06-29), meaning the fully light sealed design guarantees
UV light will not leak out from the Sterile-Vortex.
The CE-FFP2 (EU Standards N95 equivalent) passive air filter has
been tested according to the EN 149-2001+A1-2009 standards.
SGS Labs carried out tests (dated 2020-08-13) against
Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph), and guaranteed a
filtration efficiency of 99.99%. These microbes are 10-20x larger than other
pathogens and thus much harder to inactivate.
To put this into perspective, if E.coli and Staph are elephants,
the typical airborne pathogen is a mouse. UVMask’s high-efficiency filters and
UV-C lights kill the Elephant many times over with 99.99% efficiency. So bye,
bye mouse.
Complete Protection in
Under 0.1 Seconds
SGS Lab carried out tests (dated 2020-10-15) against H1N1, the pathogen that caused the
2009 swine flu pandemic, resulting in 96% inactivation after just 0.08 seconds
of exposure.
The current test results show that the virus was completely
inactivated in a blink of an eye (1/12th of a second), by far, the most
effective and speedy result presented in a UV-C consumer product.
We are 100% transparent with our certifications and
evidence-based approach. Access all the following reports:
UVMask In The Media
Airtight Fit
Regular disposable surgical masks attempt to protect you by
filtering air through 3 layers. But due to their material and poor fit — the
gaps around your nose, chin, and cheeks — much of the air you breathe is not
filtered.
UVMask forms an airtight seal around your mouth and nose thanks
to its skin-friendly silicone inner mask.
The air is then mechanically ventilated into the mask using a
fan that makes sure the air pressure inside is always positive — so even if the
mask moves as you speak, the air is always pushed out and never leaks in.
Complete Protection
All air is passed through 2 high-efficiency layers of
protection:
- The first is a
CE-FFP2 (EU Standards N95 equivalent) passive Air Filter. The advanced filtration system blocks 0.1-0.3 microns particles, including dust, smoke,
pollen, smoke, pollutants, particles, and pathogens up to 100x smaller than a grain of flour!
- The second layer is the patent-pending Sterile Vortex, the only UV purifying device that can purify the air in real-time as you breathe. With 2 high-power UV-C
LEDs, it inactivates all airborne pathogens in 0.1 seconds.
Instant Inactivation
Ever heard that UV-C light takes hours to inactivate pathogens?
UV-C light breaks the DNA and RNA of pathogens apart,
inactivating them and rendering them harmless. But until now, inactivation has
taken hours…
UVMask’s 2x UV-C LEDs provide a total of 50,000µW (50mW), an
intensity 100x times higher than similar products on the market. Built into the
Sterile Vortex, the UV-C light shines from a distance 10x closer than in other
typical uses.
This intensity, together with the highest quality quartz optics
and prolonged exposure in the vortex allows UVMask to reduce inactivation time
to 0.1 seconds (less than a blink of an eye).
While UV-C light has been used for decades in the medical
industry to sterilize equipment, this is the first time it has ever effectively
and safely been built into a mask that protects you as you breathe.
Two-Way Protection
UVMask’s proprietary design developed specifically for UM
Systems don’t allow any exhaled air to go back into the environment, exposing
others at risk.
Breathe Naturally with
Positive Airflow
How effective can it be to breathe through UVMask’s small hole?
Won’t it feel like breathing through a straw?
Typical masks are hard to breathe through — pushing air through
the dense fabric is not easy. And the moisture and heat that builds up inside
can soon become unbearable!
That’s why UVMask comes with a built-in mechanical fan that
forces clean fresh air into the mask with every breath.
Together with the side vents, the constant air circulation
doesn’t allow heat build-up even in the hottest tropical climates.
Full-Day Battery
[Extendable up to Unlimited Hours]
Two high-safety standard Li-Polymer (103450) 1,800 mAh Li-Po
batteries allow for up to 8 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
UVMask’s hard shell is designed so that a possible drop or the mask being left
in the car during a hot day, or using a wrong charger will not swell the
battery or compromise the UV-C housing.
And as it can be used while charging, it will keep you safe even
on the longest days. Extend the battery life on the go with any power bank and
the included cable for those 14-16 hour shifts. And conveniently keep wearing
it at your desk while it charges, plugged in via USB to your PC or outlet.
With its fast-charging enabled USB-C port, you’ll be ready to go
again in under 90 minutes.
And even if you run out of charge, the FFP2/N95 passive air
filter will still protect you from pollution, dust, pollen, and other particles
larger than 0.3 microns.
Shipping In Late November
Traveling soon? Worried that you’ll wait too long to get
yours?
UVMask orders for Indiegogo backers are expected to start
shipping in late November, with deliveries taking place in December.
The New Normal is here to stay for 1-2 years, even after we have
a vaccine for everyone. Would you risk not having the best protection possible
even if you have to wait for a little?
We are committed to making the last mask you’ll ever need. The
one that will provide the complete protection everyone deserves. The little
extra wait will definitely be worth it.
Shipping Survey (11 Days
Post-Purchase)
Due to Indiegogo’s 10-day lock period policy, you will
automatically receive a survey from CrowdOx (our perk management
software) on the 11th day after your order has been placed.
Currently, around 15% of all backers came in the past 10 days
which means that all of them should be expecting the survey soon.
You'll be able to finalize your color(s), size(s), shipping address, pay
for shipping, and add all available add-on items to
your order!
Talk and Sound Like You
Do
Are you a teacher or just talking long hours every day?
The new normal has made us all realize how much we typically
read people’s lips, muffling the sounds of our voices, and ruining the
conversation.
UVMask breaks that stereotype. You still can’t see people’s lips
move, but the uniquely designed internal parts with double air intakes and
optimized sound engineering allow for clear sound while speaking.
Its ergonomic shape ensures the mask will stay in place as your
chin moves while you talk, and it won’t obstruct your vision. The smaller mask
is adapted for children’s faces as well, and they’ll be able to see clearly
too.
All-Day Comfort
Who thought wearing a mask was ever going to be such a big
headache?
Whether you are a teacher, medical worker, or someone who wears
a mask for multiple hours every day, the included O-Shape Over-Head
Silicone Straps provide comfortable wearing even during long 14-16
hour days.
Instead of tugging on your ears, or digging into your scalp,
UVMask’s O-Shape straps spread the weight thanks to their wide skin-soft silicone
surface. And with an upper and lower strap, the mask is kept balanced
regardless of your activity.
A comfortable earloop option is available for
purchase in our CrowdOx survey.
IP54 Water Resistant and
Workout-Proof
UVMask’s hardcover front shell is resistant to drops and
scratches, protecting the filter, Sterile-Vortex, and UV-C LEDs within.
With its hardcover and tightly sealed design, you can safely use
your UVMask in the rain. Certified to IP54, your UVMask’s filter and interior
components are protected from environmental water and moisture, as well as dust
and particulates.
This also makes UVMask the ideal workout mask, while running
outdoors or working out in the gym. UVMask’s ventilation wicks moisture from
inside the mask, and its water-resistance prevents moisture and sweat from
getting to the filter and UV-C light.
Forget Foggy Glasses
Our unique sideway air-intakes also stop your glasses from
fogging up, unlike traditional cloth and surgical air filter masks.
Two-Sizes Fit All (Nose
and Chin)
You'll be able to select your size in our CrowdOx
survey coming on the 11th day after your Indiegogo order has
been placed.
Do you have a rather large face and are concerned about the
sizing and the fit of the mask? Worried you won’t get a good seal?
The 2 shapes and the ultra-soft skin-like silicone face
profile adapt to even the smallest and largest noses, chins, and face
shapes. It is ergonomically designed for comfort and an airtight fit.
While the front shell of the mask is the same for all sizes,
UVMask’s internal silicone padding comes in two different sizes — Type X and
Type S.
You’ll be able to select the sizes in
our survey before the shipping of your perk starts, together with
your delivery address and preferred add-ons!
UVMask (Type S) is suitable for ages 6 and up.
