QUALITY ASSURANCE
At deSiu we believe that all our products must be consistent and ‘fit-for-purpose’ so that our creatives and customers retain maximum value. We incorporate the highest possible standards for quality and safety throughout the supply chain – from manufacturing, packaging, and distribution. Additionally, we constantly liaise with Trinidad and Tobago’s Bureau of Standards, CARIRI and the Manufacturers’ Association to remain abreast with the latest national standards and development. This ensures that our customers receive high-quality, long-lasting products that meet our desired level of excellence.
Our Reusable cloth masks offer non-medical grade protection and have been developed in keeping with the best-practice guidelines from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organisation (WHO), and Trinidad and Tobago draft standards for reusable barrier masks. Cloth masks do not guarantee protection against the COVID-19 virus. However, when worn correctly in tandem with physical distancing, they can prevent the transmission of cough droplets. A deSiu mask features double layers (inner 100% cotton/ outer 100% polyester) with a PM2.5 activated carbon filter insert as well as adjustable polyester ear-loops and adjustable wire nose bridge.
The printed design of a deSiu mask ensures that the spacing of the fabric is not blocked and that its functionality is maintained. Our inks are handled with care and are certified as human-safe. Our creatives produce high-resolution designs which ensure crisp, clean artwork is transferred to the masks.
FIT
The flexible nose clips and adjustable polyester ear loops included on our custom-cut masks allow your mask to be comfortably worn without compromising its integrity.
FUNCTION
Dual layers of 100% polyester and 100% cotton combine to provide a lightweight, breathable barrier against oral droplets. When combined with the five-layer PM 2.5 activated carbon filter, your mask protects the respiratory tract against Sahara dust, pollen, automobile exhausts, particulates, and aerosols.
Our printing process does not block the pores of the fabric and will not crack, peel or fade.
FASHION
deSiu also offers original designed masks to suit any wardrobe or occasion.
