What Is A Good Quality Face Mask: The Straits Times

A Straits Times article highlighted concerns about the efficacy of the various face masks found within the market, seeking the help of Wellchem Pharmaceuticals' Director, Winthrop Wong, to evaluate the makings of a good-quality mask.

Indeed, with the government mandating the wearing of masks to protect public health, face masks became one of the most sought-after commodities at the peak of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Individuals rushed to stock up on disposable masks at home, attempting to secure the best quality masks for themselves and their families in the fight against the airborne virus. However, it was found that while face masks may appear similar to one another, experts warn against wearing low-quality masks that merely provide users with a “false sense of security.”

As a leading pharmaceutical company committed to advancing public health, Wellchem Pharmaceuticals recognizes the importance of reaffirming our dedication to research, innovation, and product excellence alongside our extensive partner suppliers, enabling us to deliver high-quality masks to users. Wellchem Pharmaceuticals considers itself fortunate to have been able to supply medical-grade masks to the public and the healthcare sector. As a mark of assurance, Wellchem’s Ultraguard passed The Strait Times' quality-check test.
