mitsufuji launches hamon AG mask that can be washed and re-used up to 50 times

mitsufuji, a company that develops and sells wearable products, has launched the ‘hamon AG mask‘, a ‘high-performance’ mask that can be washed and used repeatedly. it uses medical fibers developed for wearables in response to a nationwide shortage of hygiene masks due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

it cuts pollen by 99% and uses the same material as used in medical garments to control germs. it also uses silver-plated fiber ‘agposs’, a proprietary technology that provides antibacterial and deodorant functions.

‘as the need for hygiene masks has increased due to new coronavirus infections, we have developed hamon AG mask as a company that addresses social issues so that everyone can feel safe and secure,’ said the company.

designed to help alleviate the shortage of hygiene masks nationwide, the hamon AG can be washed and reused up to 50 times using any home washing machine. the entire garment is a three-dimensional silhouette, and the part that hangs on the ears is also made of the same fabric as the main body, so there is no elastic cord.

mitsufuji plans to manufacture 50,000 masks a month at its own factory in kawamata-machi, fukushima prefecture. the price is 3,000 yen excluding tax per piece with orders being accepted at a dedicated email address.
