The 95+ Mask
Simple Designs using Simple Tools & Materials
“Cloth face coverings” aren’t real masks - the 95+ Mask is designed to bring real efficacy to the masks we’re wearing every day.
What is the 95+ Mask?
Worldwide Accessibility
Current technology has not been updated since the 1970s. The Nanos technology is inexpensive, portable and accessible.
Our Open-Source process turns common plastics into highly effective respiratory PPE.
‘Electrospinning’ nanofibers onto common cloth turns the cloth into a filter → sew the cloth into a mask to produce an effective top notch respirator.
You can use our designs, or bring your own design - 95+ is about the nanofiber membrane that turns the ‘cloth face covering’ into a respirator. Just make sure to use a design that creates a good seal or fit against the face.

The 95+ Process Requires Only A Few Simple Things
The kinds of things that can be easily found, like an old television, paint thinner & recycled plastics
Many Designs, Made Effective with the 95+ Process
Cloth coated with nanofibers can be sewn into any shape of mask; take your pick based on fit or the tools you have.
Designs range from as simple as an origami surgical mask, to a sewn duckbill mask, to an ultrasonically welded together 4-segment facepiece mask.
The 95+ fabric can be used to replace the filter in a powered respirator (PAPR).
Electrostatics - A Force of Nature
Much like lint sticks to your clothes, electrospun fibers hold an invisible ‘surface charge’ that pulls infinitesimal particles - like the coronavirus - from the air we breathe
A Better Mask For Everyone
Cooler Than Existing Masks
A 6x improvement in breathing resistance translates directly to a cooler mask that doesn’t get wet and sticky
Easier to Breathe
The electrospun fibers create a super lightweight filter, allowing air to pass easily through the filter with little resistance.
Safer for Kids
The decreased breathing resistance is better for children’s still-developing lungs and muscles. Masks with lots of breathing resistance are uncomfortable to wear for extended periods, especially for kids with asthma.
