Biodegradable Standards & Testing

View full ASTM F2100 Level 3 compliance report and certification

JY Care’s Biodegradable Medical Face Mask is proudly made in Canada and engineered to exceed the ASTM F2100-23 Level 3 standard—the highest level of protection recognized for medical use.

Testing was completed by Kinectrics Analytical & Environmental Services Laboratory, an ISO 17025-accredited facility certified by the Standards Council of Canada.

Every mask undergoes rigorous performance testing to ensure reliability, comfort, and clinical-grade safety for healthcare and institutional use.

Verified Results Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE): ≥ 99.96 % – blocks airborne bacteria and droplets.

Fluid Resistance: 160 mmHg – protects against blood and fluid penetration.

Differential Pressure: 4.3 mm H₂O/cm² – enables superior breathability and comfort.

Flammability: Class 1 (Did Not Ignite) – meets 16 CFR 1610 textile safety standards.

These results confirm JY Care’s leadership in medical-grade respiratory protection with traceable, third-party-verified compliance.

Innovation at JY Care extends beyond protection—into environmental responsibility.

Independent biodegradation testing by Intertek Testing Services Hong Kong under ASTM D5511-18 confirms measurable decomposition of JY Care’s Made-in-Canada Biodegradable Medical Mask under simulated landfill (anaerobic digestion) conditions.

Measured Biodegradation Performance

6.33 % degradation after 45 days

16.51 % degradation after 180 days

Microscopic bacterial colonization confirming active biodegradation

The mask is officially certified under Intertek Green Leaf Certification No. GLF-08-AMER-24-1789, validating its eco-engineered material integrity while maintaining full ASTM F2100 Level 3 medical performance.

By pairing bio-additive-modified polypropylene with Canadian manufacturing precision, JY Care delivers trusted protection with a reduced environmental footprint—designed for healthcare providers who value both safety and sustainability.
