T.Silk Shield is the mask , the natural shield that the exceptionality of silk fibre ( the material of the future ) is able to counteract the pandemic caused by the Covid19 virus.
A counteraction by a totally sustainable fiber, able to guarantee the absence of pollution , as well as natural complete decomposition, (being made up of only natural proteins, with the exception of the elastics), in the disposal of masks . A fiber that due to its chemical/physical characteristics is respectful of the well-being of human skin, healing and regenerating. ( discover SilkGenera )
Masks, despite ourselves, have become companions in our daily lives. Outside, at work, at the supermarket, in a shopping center, on a walk, on any occasion where there may be more or less close contact with other people.
Protecting yourself and others has become a fundamental weapon in the face of this pandemic.
Community masks as defined by the Prime Ministerial Decree of 04/21/2020 have been regulated by subsequent provisions of the Istituto Superiore della Sanità (ISS)*
T.SilkShield – 3LSilk technology
T.SilkShield brings together the highest technology and innovation in a single product DATA from the multilayer 3LSILK (3 LayersSilk) structure, the result of the union of craftsmanship and research of two proactive companies in the Italian Silk panorama ( Cosetex and Elitex ):
- Exterior: 100% Silk fabric, naturally antibacterial, sanitized, water-repellent - represents a first strong barrier to microscopic droplets;
- Contact with the skin: 100% silk fabric, breathable, hypoallergenic - respectful and healing of the physiology of human skin thanks to the natural proteins of Silk ( Sericin and Fibroin ). A fabric whose thread is naturally free of scales on the surface and therefore does not create microabrasions and consequent dermatitis from rubbing with the skin, lips and nostrils;
- Interior: a padding/membrane in 100% sanitized, antibacterial, filtering silk - a perfect natural thermoregulator of the face-mask microclimate that prevents the accumulation of humidity, increasing the filtering power through the absorption and immediate transfer to the outside of excess water vapor produced.
T.SilkShield is:
- water repellency of the exterior against aerosols;
- the filtering power of the multilayer;
- the electrostatic barrier to the penetration of viral particles;
- the natural antibacterial properties of silk;
- sanitized components;
- maximum breathability, insulation and thermoregulation ;
- natural hypoallergenicity ;
- naturalness of a fibre and its sustainable production system;
- skin care and well-being in the absence of itching and dermatitis;
- ecological nature and the absence of polluting elements;
- no release of pollutants and microfibres ;
- full recycling. https://www.cosetex.it/blog/riciclo-nel-settore-tessile/

“According to the Prime Ministerial Decree of 26 April, masks have become mandatory in confined or open spaces where it is not possible or guaranteed to maintain physical distancing...” “According to paragraph 2 of Article 3 of the same, community masks can be used, i.e. disposable masks or washable masks, even self-produced, in multilayered materials suitable for providing an adequate barrier and, at the same time, which guarantee comfort and breathability, adequate shape and adherence that allow covering from the chin to above the nose”. Masks represent a complementary measure for containing the transmission of the virus and cannot in any way replace physical distancing, hand hygiene and scrupulous attention in not touching the face, nose, eyes and mouth.
1)What is the difference between so-called community masks and surgical masks?
Surgical masks are medical masks, developed to be used in healthcare settings and certified based on their filtering capacity. They meet the characteristics required by the UNI EN ISO 14683-2019 standard and work by preventing transmission.
Community masks, as provided for by article 16 paragraph 2 of the Legislative Decree of 17 March 2020, are intended to reduce the circulation of the virus in daily life and are not subject to particular certifications. They should not be considered either medical devices or personal protective equipment, but a hygienic measure useful for reducing the spread of the SARS-COV-2 virus.
2) What characteristics must community masks have?
They must ensure an adequate barrier for the nose and mouth, must be made of multilayered materials that must not be toxic, allergenic or flammable and that do not make breathing difficult. They must adhere to the face, covering from the chin to the nose, ensuring comfort at the same time.
