MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. - April 13, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Bona Fide Masks Corp. (www.bonafidemasks.com), part of the Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Ball Chain) family of companies, has made a significant capital investment in an in-house respirator tester, designed specifically for testing filter media. After extensive research, Bona Fide Masks® is proud to work with medical device leader, Air Techniques International (ATI), by purchasing their innovative and highly efficient 100X Automated Filter Tester. This machine is designed for quality control validation of filter media, replaceable particulate filters and masks used in the medical and industry hygiene applications. The 100X meets leading industry standards such as NIOSH 42 CFR Part84, GB 2626, EN 1327-7:2019 and ASTM F3502-21. The 100X is designed for testing N95, KN95, FFP and P100 respirator masks.

Bona Fide Masks has been consistent in its brand promise to establish buyer confidence through every aspect of its business model which includes direct relationships with highly regarded mask producers, supply chain integrity, and now in-house testing. ATI brings 60 years of proven experience in design and manufacturing of specialized testing equipment to the marketplace. ATI offers a comprehensive portfolio of products ranging from on-site certification to large systems used by major producers and test laboratories. ATI's solutions encompass testing equipment for nuclear, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biosafety, and military applications. Given their impressive expertise, ATI was an obvious choice for Bona Fide Masks in their quest to expand their business model with in-house testing capabilities.

"Since Bona Fide Masks' inception, our family has been committed to delivering the highest level of masks to the public at reasonable prices. As a fast-growing business, we are prioritizing these types of investments to further strengthen our commitment to our customers. We plan to test masks regularly as part of our pre-distribution inspection efforts. These efforts will not replace manufacturer or third-party testing but will supplement those tests, adding an additional layer of quality control. As an 80-year-old family-owned company, we value quality assurance and believe this aspect of our formula has contributed to our success over the years. This investment sets Bona Fide Masks apart from our competitors in terms of allocating resources to bolster quality control. We look forward to the continued growth of our business and remain committed to providing our customers with trusted products." - Bill Taubner, President, Bona Fide Masks.
