This additive
protects the door from cracking as it comes into contact
with copper particles over time.

Charging only
works when the correct masterbatch is utilized
which, together with the fiber denier, gram weight
and number of layers, ensures that the middle layer
of protective masks can effectively trap smaller
particles.
