Purpose of the mask:

The BUFF

Filter Mask plays a somewhat similar role as a physical barrier to reduce the spread of larger droplets

resulting from talking and/or coughing by the wearer when used correctly. Also wearing the BUFF

Filter Mask may help to limit touching

of the mouth and nose. The evidence about the benefits of barrier masks, also called community masks, non-medical masks, mouth&nose
masks, is however very limited and indirect.

Composition:

The BUFF

Filter Mask is composed by 2 fabrics: external fabric made of COOLNET

(95% Polyester and 5% Elastane) and

an internal fabric (inside pocket) made of (94% Polyester and 6% Elastane.

Filter FM70/310:

The BUFF

Filter Mask has been designed to be used together with the FILTER FM 70/310 to obtain the functionality and

performance of the product. The BUFF

Filter Mask incorporates an inside pocket to place the filter FM70/310.

The FM70/310 filter meets the performance requirements of the harmonised standard EN 14683: 2019 + AC, with regard to Bacterial
Filtration Efficiency (BFE%) and Differential Pressure (Pa/cm²)(Breathability), obtaining the Type Iª and II classification.

Performance requirements according to EN 14683:2019 + AC:

Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) determines the filtration efficiency as a barrier against bacterial penetration. The higher the percentage,
the greater the filtration efficiency.

Differential pressure is the difference between a certain pressure value and another reference value. The lower the differential pressure
value, the easier it is to breathe through.

The filter FM70/130 performs an air permeability of 280L/m²/s according to UNE-EN ISO9237 Textiles. Determination of permeability of
fabrics to air.

The combination of the BUFF

Filter Mask with the Filter FM70/310 meets the Differential Pressure (breathability) of the harmonised

standard EN 14683:2019+AC:2019 (< 60 Pa/cm²) Type IIR.

The filters are manufactured by Ahlstrom-Munksjö Italy Spa with a special design to fit the BUFF

requests of EN ISO 13485. Medical Devices - Quality Management System by Ahlstrom-Munksjö Germany GmbH.

Composition of the Filter FM70/310:

The filter is 100% Polyester, it is binder-free, fiberglass-free, glue-free and latex-free. It is made of

three combined layers: Spunbond 20 gm² - Meltblown 30 gm² - Spunbond point bonded 20 gm2. The filter is water-repellent.
