Why is silk better?

The majority of masks on the market today are cotton. This material offers mechanical filtration only. Natural silk, on the other hand, offers mechanical and electrostatic filtration. This is because silk has a charge that repels small particles.

Where can I get more filters?

Every Biamo scarf and tie is designed with the option to be worn with a PM 2.5 activated carbon filter sized 4 x 2.75 inches (7 x 10 cm) or “kids size.” If you use a filter we recommend changing it at least once a week.

Do I have to use the filter?

No. The silk layers alone can offer up to 90% protection from particles such as viruses, bacterias, and environmental pollutants.
However, our unique design allows for a disposable filter pad to be used as an additional barrier to pathogens and particles. Inserting an activated carbon filter maximizes protection.

How can I care for my silk scarf or tie?

We recommend dry cleaning for the best outcomes for your silk product. Spot-clean gently as needed with cool water. Always remove the filter before cleaning.
