Does the attachment style affect the mask's filtration rating?

No. BFE, PFE, and Delta-P are properties of the mask body, specifically the meltblown filtration layer, not the attachment method. A mask rated at ASTM F2100 Level 2 carries that rating whether it uses ear loops or ties, provided the mask body is identical. Both configurations produced by eztio use the same mask body and in-house meltblown layer, so the filtration spec is consistent across attachment styles.

What tensile strength should I specify for ear-loop elastic?

The key parameter is elongation recovery. The loop should return to its original tension after repeated donning cycles without permanent deformation. Eztio tests incoming elastic lots for tensile strength and elongation recovery before production as part of ISO 13485 incoming inspection, and buyers should ask suppliers for incoming inspection specs and lot-level test data.

Can I order both ear-loop and tie-on configurations in the same shipment?

Yes. Eztio can consolidate both configurations in a single shipment with separate lot documentation for each SKU. Each configuration has its own MOQ, so buyers should confirm both before finalizing the order. Mixed shipments are common for distributors supplying general ward and OR channels from one purchase order.

What's the minimum order for tie-on masks?

Tie-on configurations are available with confirmed volume. Buyers should send estimated monthly requirements so eztio can confirm MOQ and lead time for the specific configuration. Standard ear-loop SKUs start at 50,000 pieces, and sample-run discussion is available for first-time tie-on evaluation.

How do I specify attachment style in an RFQ?

Include the attachment style, filtration grade such as ASTM F2100 Level 1, 2, or 3 or EN 14683 Type I, II, or IIR, estimated monthly volume, and target market. Buyers should also include any elastic spec, tie material preference, or packaging requirement. Eztio responds through the Request Quote process with a spec sheet and unit price.
