How to make a certified cotton mask
In this article we talk about cotton masks for children.
Although not mandatory for children under the age of 6, in times of Corona Virus there is never too much prevention and social security.
We therefore thought it might be useful to create an Ad Hoc video tutorial that addressed this specific topic and explained in detail How to make a washable and reusable children's mask (with filter bag )
Following the Covid-19 emergency in Arketicom we had the need, like everyone else, for protection. Thanks to the experience in the textile packaging sector, to the tailoring equipment and machinery, to the direct relationship with yarn suppliers, as soon as we understood how difficult it was to procure personal protective equipment for our staff, we took steps to l self-production.
From here began a process of insights, prototypes and tests, in a single word: experience, which gave life to a real brand with which we produce and market filtering masks.
But the spirit that distinguishes Arketicom, always aimed at ethics and sharing, is alive. So we asked ourselves: How can we help others too? This is how the video tutorial project was born to be able to make masks in total autonomy.
It would seem obvious, but in such a difficult moment, in which many have also thought about speculation, we have done something more.
More ethical, more sincere, more democratic
You can choose a video tutorial with which to learn how to make a mask at home, you can choose to buy a mask produced by MASKARINA and with the latest project, you can choose to buy a kit made up of certified and guaranteed fabrics for as long as the self-produced masks are really effective.
What is needed to make an effective fabric mask
One important thing, which we also specify in the video tutorial, is that using certified materials is guaranteed.
More and more often we see masks made with patterned, colored cottons. In many cases these products (harmful to health) and ineffective are even marketed by unscrupulous companies.
We at Arketicom know only one world very well: that of fabric!
Even in Arketicom we could have created and marketed thousands of different types of masks but knowing the characteristics of textile fibers very well, we didn't do it. Why ? The reason is simple, applying a mask on a child's face (but also in adults) made with a fabric dyed with chemical solvents that contain substances such as nickel, chromium or lead is harmful to his health. Furthermore, although we have always dealt with articles concerning fashion and design, we believe that in terms of masks this aspect is at least negligible
