How is SCHUTZENKILL-XCOV applied on face masks? As depicted in the image below, generally, face mask constitutes 3 layers, the outside layer (hydrophobic nonwoven), middle layer (high density fibre) and the inner soft layer (highly absorptive layer).

SCHUTZENKILL-XCOV is recommended to be applied on the outer layer. Since hydrophobicity is absolutely essential for the outer layer, we recommend application of our water, oil & alcohol repellent SCHUTZENPHOBE- 602 along with SCHUTZENKILL-XCOV. Additionally, it can be applied on the middle layer also. However, it is optional.

The application is depicted pictorially as below:
