How Injection Molded Medical Face Masks Deliver Superior Sealing and Comfort


Release time:

Sep 23,2025

I notice that injection molded masks from Texin are better for sealing and comfort. Injection molded designs use special shapes to fit the face well. Injection molded frames stay firm, and the soft edges feel gentle. The materials from injection molding feel nice on the skin. I trust the safety of injection molded masks made at Texin.

Key Takeaways

  • Injection molded masks from Texin fit better and feel more comfortable. This is because they are made with careful design and soft edges. - The way these masks are made helps them stay high-quality. They meet tough medical rules, so doctors can trust them for anesthesia and other uses. - Texin cares about safety. They test the masks a lot to check for leaks. They also follow ISO standards, so the masks do not cause bad reactions.

Injection Molding Process

Injection Molding Process

Precision Manufacturing

I watch how injection molding shapes masks very accurately. Texin uses special CNC tools and many steps to make each mask the same. I follow a simple process to see how injection molding works.

  1. First, I design and test the mask. I check if it fits medical gear and works well.
  2. Next, I use injection molding. I heat up the materials and push them into molds. This step gives each mask its exact shape and size.
  3. Last, I do quality checks. I look at every batch and test each mask to meet tough rules.

Injection molding can make masks with tiny measurements. The process can reach sizes as small as micrometers. Medical masks need these small and exact sizes. Texin checks quality more strictly than regular injection molding.

Tolerance TypeDescription
Ultra-preciseAchieved tolerances often down to micrometers
Medical ApplicationsNecessary to meet stringent requirements
Quality ControlsStricter than conventional injection molding

If I could show a picture, I would pick a close-up of CNC tools and the injection molding machine working.

Material Selection

I pick materials with care for injection molding. Texin uses medical-grade polycarbonate and polyamide for the mask frames. These materials help the mask stay strong. For the sealing parts, I choose liquid silicone rubber or thermoplastic elastomer. These choices make the mask soft and comfy.

Material TypeComfort LevelSafety Features
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)HighFlexible and comfortable for extended use
PolycarbonateModerateHigh impact resistance for safety
ABSModerateLightweight yet strong for protective casings

I work in ISO 7/8 cleanrooms when making masks. The air is kept clean, and people wear special clothes to keep dust away. Texin uses HEPA filters that catch almost all tiny particles. The room stays between 64°F and 72°F, and humidity is from 40% to 60%. There are floors and machines to stop static. Workers follow strict rules and training.

RequirementSpecification
Maximum Particle Concentration3,520,000 particles per cubic meter (>0.5 microns)
HEPA Filter Efficiency99.97% for particles 0.3 microns or larger
Air Changes Per Hour (ACH)Minimum of 20 air changes per hour
Temperature Range64°F to 72°F
Humidity Range40% to 60%
Static Control MeasuresAnti-static flooring, ionizers, grounding straps
Personnel ControlStrict gowning protocols and training

I make sure injection molding follows ISO 10993 rules. This means the mask materials are safe for people. The tests check for safety and if the materials work well with the body. I know that following these rules helps stop bad reactions.

AspectDescription
FocusBiological evaluation of medical devices, including face masks.
PurposeEnsures materials do not pose risks to patients.
Tests and ProceduresOutlines various tests to evaluate safety of materials in contact with the body.
Compliance OutcomeReduces risk of adverse effects, ensuring non-toxic materials that do not affect the immune system or cause cancer.

If I could show another picture, I would pick the cleanroom and how masks are handled carefully during injection molding.

Injection Molded Masks: Features and Safety

Airtight Seal and Comfort

Injection molded masks from Texin fit faces better than other masks. The soft sealing surface feels gentle and does not leave marks. I use these masks for anesthesia and see they help stop leaks. The mask makes a tight seal, so air does not escape. This seal meets half-face respirator standards and is even better than disposable N95s.

  • Pneumasks make a great seal, like half-face respirators, and are better than N95s.
  • Pneumask seals are stronger than what is needed for half-face respirators or N95s, by US and European rules.

I feel fewer pressure spots when I wear these masks. The soft edges help stop skin irritation, which matters for long anesthesia times. I also see less leaking than with regular masks. Custom injection molded masks leak less and are more reliable.

  • Custom masks leaked an average of 32±19 L·min−1, while regular masks leaked 36±48 L·min−1, showing similar leak levels.
  • Custom masks had less leak variability, so they work more the same each time.
  • Mask tightness and CPAP levels changed how much masks leaked, but the mask type did not always change leaks for everyone.

I remember a study where people wore injection molded medical masks. All 20 people passed the fit test, showing comfort and good use. Most people said breathing was excellent or good. Many liked the iMASC more than surgical masks and N95s.

Evidence TypeDescription

Breathability RatingsPeople rated breathing as 'excellent' (9), 'good' (10), and 'fair' (1), showing most were happy.
Preference60% liked the iMASC more than surgical masks, and 25% liked it more than N95s, showing many liked the comfort.

Consistent Quality

I trust Texin’s injection molded masks because they always meet medical rules. The company uses advanced CNC tools and many molding steps. This makes every mask the same shape and size. I see these masks last through many uses in anesthesia breathing circuits. The PC frames keep the mask strong, and the LSR/TPE seals stay soft.

Safety and Compliance

I trust Texin’s masks to keep me safe during anesthesia. The company does leak tests and checks if the masks are safe for people. Texin uses special machines to test for leaks. People breathe hard for a few seconds, and no leaks show up. Texin also tests masks with ISO dummies to make sure they meet air pressure and volume rules.

  • Leak tests were done with people breathing hard for a few seconds, and no leaks were found.
  • Makers use special machines to check masks hold pressure with no leaks.
  • Early tests showed no leaks after checking pressure and air volume with an ISO dummy.

Texin follows ISO 10993 rules for mask materials. This means masks do not cause bad reactions or hurt the immune system. I see Texin’s customer support help with different projects, like mask design and cleaning checks. The team answers questions fast and helps with technical details.

I use Texin’s injection molded masks in anesthesia breathing circuits and other medical jobs. These masks work well and keep me safe every time.


I believe Texin’s injection molded masks are very good. They use new machines and tough materials. Texin checks the masks carefully to make sure they are safe. These masks fit well and feel comfortable each time I wear them. I think Texin is a great choice for people who want safe medical face masks.
