Face masks type II, 3-ply | PP
Face masks type II, 3-ply made of PP from Hygostar
This medical mask meets the "Type II" standard. This means it is suitable for medical use and approved for use as third-party protection in hospital and nursing - also as a surgical mask. The Type II mouthguard has been proven to protect against droplet infections. The mask is 3-layered and achieves an excellent filtering performance of 98% BFE thanks to the integrated filter layer.
The disposable masks have ear loops and an adjustable nose clip. Important: Press the nose clip firmly when tightening so that the mask sits as close to the face as possible and can thus develop its full filtering capacity.
Hygiene with colour system: surgical mask and mouthguard also in black or pink
At Franz Mensch you buy mouth masks equal in 6 colours. The wide range of colours is ideal for medical practices, dentists, hospital and nursing, but also for large food production to visually distinguish work areas. Coloured mouthguards or coloured surgical masks can be used as colour coding and area clothing: 1 colour = 1 area. With this simple hygiene colour system, you avoid cross-contamination and ensure clear specifications.

Materialinfo: What is PP?
PP is the abbreviation for polypropylene, the standard material for protective clothing and disposable products. Mostly, this synthetic fiber is processed into a soft nonwoven, which is then used to make a textile-like fabric. PP nonwoven is permeable to air, very economical, comfortable and even offers slight protection against liquids because splashes simply roll off.
What is a medical face mask type II?
Only 3-layer masks tested according to EN 14683 are considered medical face masks and protect against infections as foreign body protection. These face masks have an integrated filter layer made of meltblown material, which is particularly fine and can filter the smallest particles from the air. In this way, medical masks provide a high level of protection because they also filter pathogens and prevent their spread or transmission.
Medical mouthguards are classified into the following 3 categories based on their bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE):
Type IIR - highest protection: excellent filter performance of > 98% (according to BFE) and resistant to liquid splashes or contaminated body fluids.
Type II: excellent filter performance of > 98% (according to BFE), reliably protects against contaminated aerosols transmitted via the air.
Type I: good filter performance of > 95% (BFE), cheaper variant with less filter performance than Type II.

Overshoes | CPE
Overshoes from CPE from Hygostar
Wearing overshoes is one of the most important measures against contamination in sensitive manufacturing and medical areas.

The overshoes are made of durable CPE material (cast polyethylene) and withstand mechanical stress very well. The material is dense like PE, slightly cheaper and has a hammered structure. In addition, overshoes made of CPE are water repellent and protect your shoes from liquid splashes and moisture.
The disposable overshoes fit universally and are simply worn over street or professional shoes. They are suitable for both visitors and your staff and ideal for hygiene areas in care, industry or food production.

Bio gloves made of PLA by NatureStar
The sustainable alternative for hygiene areas and food processing: organic disposable gloves made from renewable raw materials that can be composted after use. The organic gloves are made of corn starch and are equal to ordinary standard PE gloves in terms of hygiene and comfort. The organic disposable gloves are food safe and therefore suitable for use in food areas.
Until now, plastic was often the only material used for gloves and clothing in food areas for hygienic reasons. Now Franz Mensch is setting new standards and has developed an environmentally friendly alternative under the NatureStar brand: the gloves are made of a compostable bio-plastic. The material is called PLA and is a 100% biodegradable copolymer - following EN 13432 for industrial compostability.
In terms of their properties, the PLA organic gloves are very similar to conventional PE gloves. They can therefore very well replace the petroleum-based standard gloves and are ideal as hygiene gloves, product protection and to prevent contamination in sensitive areas. The organic disposable gloves made of PLA are odorless, tasteless, water repellent and have a loose fit. They are soft and comfortable to wear. Organic disposable gloves are ideal for those who need disposable gloves due to hygiene regulations, but still value sustainability.

- environmentally friendly PLA, obtained from corn starch
- food safe
- tasteless and odorless
- wearable on both sides
- water-repellent

Interesting facts: How the sustainable gloves are made
The organic gloves are made from so-called PLA (polylactide). PLA is a bio-plastic that is obtained solely from plants. The starting material is starch from corn plants. For NatureStar's disposable clothing, only industrial corn is used and no food plants. Fermentation produces lactic acids, which are first processed into granules and later into film. The sustainable disposable gloves are made from this film.
Since only renewable raw materials are used, the PLA glove is 100% compostable and sustainable. Another plus: During production, up to 60% less CO2 is emitted than with conventional plastic.
The gloves made from PLA can either be industrially composted, fermented or recycled. In industrial composting, the material decomposes into CO2 and water. Fermentation produces recyclable bio-gas. In a sorted recycling, the used PLA can be collected again as raw material corn starch, so in the next step new products can be made from bio-plastic. In any case, the CO2 and other material cycles remain closed.

Organic aprons and gloves
Until now, plastic was the only material used for clothing in food businesses for reasons of hygiene.

Now Franz Mensch is setting new standards and has developed an environmentally friendly alternative under the NATUREStar brand: Disposable aprons and gloves made from compostable bioplastic (PLA).
NATUREStar clothing is suitable for direct contact with food and is ideal for anyone who needs disposable clothing due to hygiene regulations but still values sustainability.
How vegetables become organic gloves
The organic clothing is made from what is known as PLA (polylactide). PLA is an organic plastic that is obtained solely from plants. The starting material is starch from maize plants. Only industrial maize is used for NATUREStar's disposable clothing and no food plants. Fermentation produces lactic acids, which are first processed into granules and later into film. This film is used to produce disposable aprons and gloves.
As only renewable raw materials are used, the clothing is 100% compostable and sustainable. Another plus: up to 70% less CO2 is emitted during production than with conventional plastic. NATUREStar is a brand of Franz Mensch GmbH and stands for disposable products made from 100% renewable raw materials.
Franz Mensch GmbH is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of products for cleaning, hygiene and packaging. For more than 45 years, the owner-managed family business has been a point of contact when it comes to disposable gloves, hygiene and protective clothing, safety, health and prevention.
PLA is also known as bio-plastic or bio-plastic. The material consists mainly of the starch from corn plants. This raw material is natural, purely vegetable and above all renewable. For NatureStar's disposable aprons, only industrial corn is used and explicitly no food plants. In order to produce PLA, the starch is transformed into lactic acids through a fermentation process, which are processed into granules and then into films. These films are then used to make the organic aprons. Only natural raw materials are used in the production process. Organic disposable aprons made of PLA can therefore be completely biodegraded by industrial composting.
