NAVAMASK
Co-developed with Khalifa University
Project
The outbreak of COVID-19 has triggered great global public health concern. Face masks are essential tools to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus from human to human.
Filters composed of ultrafine fibers with diameter down to tens of nanometers have the potential to physically block viruses. With adjustable composition and nanostructures, the electrospun ultrafine fiber filter is possible to achieve other necessary functions beyond virus blocking, such as antiviral, permeable, and degradable, making it an important part of fighting the epidemic.
Fortune Core team together with Khalifa University Researchers led by Dr. Shadi Wajih Hasan develop ‘Biodegradable’ and ‘Biocompatible’ Environ-Friendly Anti-Viral Adaptive Face Mask named NAVAMASK manufactured by Shenzhen Fortune Core Technology Industry & Trade Co., Ltd.

Purpose and
The NAVAMAK is a sustainable and environmentally friendly facemask made with bio-based polymers that can be composted and integrated back into ecosystem. Available as either a reusable or a one-time disposable mask.Made by electrospinning bio-based polymers into ultrafine fibers, and applying a coating of antimicrobial compounds extracted from medicinal plants known to be effective against bacteria and viruses, NAVAMASK blocks viruses, dust, haze, smoke, automobile exhaust, and more.
Electrospinning-tech
Thin and light as a feather
High porous rate
Superior breathability
Ultra-fine aperture
Better filtration efficiency
Physical interception
Extra long life of using
The NAVAMASK is designed to protect us from both the spread of viruses and the negative environmental impacts of commercially available plastic-based facemasks.
