With the production of pink and beige KF-94, 80 and droplet blockage masks with spunbond nonwoven fabric, consumers are given an opportunity to choose from a variety of colors of masks.

The colored spunbond nonwoven fabric, using pigments that do no harm to the human body, was realized by TAK’s excellent spinning technology, each colored mask has passed safety standards, strengthened by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Masks, which had so far been achromatic like white and black, have now expanded to include colored ones.

The greater choice for consumers will simultaneously boost hygiene and safety, and individuality via character and fashion.

TAK plans to expand the colors of its masks to yellow, ivory and green. Its release of the colored spunbond nonwoven fabric in Korea and exporting it abroad is expected to make its spunbond nonwoven fabric technology known internationally.

TAK plans to continuously raise hygiene and convenience, as the company produced wearable spunbond nonwoven fabric with less irritability by solving an issue inside the mask.

Starting as the first spunbond nonwoven provider in Korea, TAK has grown into the top company in the Asian market in terms of business size and competitiveness.

TAK was the first to supply SMS, SMMS and composite spunbond fiber in Asia, open up a new nonwoven fabric market, and build cooperation system for interaction and information exchange with customers.
