Where are StringKing 3-Layer Face Masks Made?
Our 3-Layer Face Masks are made by a pharmaceutical supplier in China. The entire operation is overseen by our trusted StringKing team, who we have worked with and developed over the last seven years making sporting goods. We vetted over 200 suppliers before we chose the one we found to be the highest quality and most reliable throughout the process. They follow strict ISO standards, including ISO 13485:2016 for Quality Management System in an ISO 8 clean room. On top of those certifications, our team is there to perform our own in-house testing, and to verify quality and integrity throughout the process. [About 70%](https://www.piie.com/blogs/trade-and-investment-policy-watch/covid-19-chinas-exports-medical-supplies-provide-ray-hope) of US mouth-nose protection is produced in China, and we are fully confident that our masks are made by one of the best and most reliable suppliers available.

Will a face mask protect me from COVID-19?
Neither the washable Cloth Face Mask nor disposable 3-Layer Face Mask are made to 100% prevent the transmission of COVID-19. They are **not** medical-grade or N95 respirators. All of our face masks follow [CDC recommendations](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html) for facial coverings to help slow the spread of novel coronavirus and COVID-19. The CDC, WHO, and many US cities and states are now requiring facial coverings be worn in public.
Are StringKing face masks medical-grade PPE or N95 respirators?
No. All StringKing face masks are intended for general use and are not intended to be used as medical equipment. Our masks are not rated as N95 respirators. Both the StringKing reusable Cloth Face Mask and single-use 3-Layer Face Mask follow [CDC recommendations](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html) to help slow the spread of coronavirus and COVID-19.
What is my Cloth Face Mask made out of?
The washable 2-ply Cloth Face Mask is made with two layers of American-made Supima cotton. Supima cotton represents less than 1% of cotton grown in the world. What makes it unique to other cottons is the extra-long staple fiber that gives the cotton its premium properties: Strength, Softness and Color retention.
The elastic ear loops of the reusable Cloth Face Mask are made using nylon and elastane to help provide the perfect amount of stretch to keep your mask securely on your face.
What is my 3-Layer Face Mask made out of?
We make our disposable 3-Layer Face Mask with the highest-quality materials available. The inner and outer layers use a non-woven, spun-bound polypropylene, while the middle filter layer uses a non-woven, melt-blown polypropylene. The single-use, 3-ply face mask provides a basic barrier to limit the transmission of fluids and droplets from the wearer to the environment, and from the environment to the wearer. Watch this video for a closer look at the production process. Intended for general use.
