Polypropylene
Recently Dr. Teresa Tam informed us that our homemade masks should now contain two layers of cotton and a 3rd layer of polypropelene. I've done a bit of research to see what this means. The following is an exerpt from an article I read:
Polypropylene has two great properties for repelling viruses: it is negatively charged, and it is water-repellent. Viruses need water to remain viable, and are also negatively charged. As you recall from 5th grade science class, negative repels negative, thus the negatively-charged polypropylene molecule will repel the negatively-charged virus, and because polypropylene also repels water, the virus is denied the moisture it needs to be viable.
Here is what I have available:
- 100% Polypropylene -
- 40" wide in black - $3.50 per yard
- ** White is SOLD OUT **
