The I-LINE 150 is a 1.5 oz Polypropylene made from spun bonded fibres. The Spun Bond makes the product washable, but it still should only be washed in cold
and air dried. No hot dryer. No direct IRON as it will melt. Use a drop/pressing cloth between the iron and the polypropylene.
The Canadian government tested several

Polypropylene is now the top material recommended for COVID-19 mask filters, as recommended by Health Canada. Note, this is a non-medical grade product.
