This coating contains an antimicrobial substance within a carrier material that absorbs moisture from breath, keeping its surface wet so that viruses stick to it more effectively.

Why it matters: The filing predates widespread public health focus on breathable, antimicrobial face coverings. Advances in material science since 2010 may offer more effective superabsorbent fibers and antimicrobial formulations.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
