IIT Kanpur incubated startup has developed a super-activated carbon mask with odourless technology.

The team that designed the mask claimed that it is based on odourless technology which absorbs the particles producing the odour

According to DNA, carbon particles hold the odorous particles that produce odour and absorb them under chemical process. When carbon is charged and prepared, its property changes, so it is not harmful to the body.

At the same time, the outer layer of the mask is coated with electrocharged nanoparticles, upon which the virus becomes ineffective when exposed.

It has been created by Dr Sandeep Patil, Nitin Charate, Ankit Shukla and Mahesh Kumar.

The startup had earlier developed E-Spin Nanotech, which made the ‘Swasa’ mask PM Modi wore at the Ram Mandir ‘bhoomi pujan’,
