Electret charging works by improving the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a material, to prevent electret charge from drifting.
Charging only works when the correct masterbatch is utilized, and together with the fiber denier, gram weight and number of layers, ensures the middle layer of protective masks can effectively trap smaller particles.
