Vault Creation, a company with unrivaled micro-etching technology, announced that it had launched Vo Guard, a respiratory protection mask to which the company’s developed eco-friendly polymer filter is applied, at b8ta in the U.S.

Following its successful funding through Kickstarter in the U.S. and online sales performance last year, Vo Guard was introduced to U.S. customers for the first time through Silicon Valley and Palo Alto branches of b8ta.

b8ta is a retail-as-a-service company with a chain of standalone retail stores, that helps customers directly experience the new and original products of ICT companies and startups.

Vault Creation succeeded in developing a respiratory protection filter using polymer by applying the micro-etching technology (in μm unit) to the mask filter. In September last year, the company achieved its funding goal for Vo Guard, a product to which the respiratory protection filter is applied, by 404% through Kickstarter, a U.S. crowdfunding platform.

Vo Guard, a mask created by applying fine holes measuring 5μm or less to a thin film, is lightweight, provides excellent permeability, and also physically blocks out pollutants. In addition, this product is economical because, unlike the ordinary disposable felt filters, the filter applied to Vo Guard can be washed with water and reused.

The performance data and detailed information of Vo Guard can be found at www.voguard.com. Vo Guard is currently available for purchase at Indiegogo InDemand, an online mall (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/voguard-breathe-easy-through-washable-filters/#/).

Having won a number of awards including the selection as the Company of Excellent Technology in Korea, Vault Creation is a venture company that has secured unrivaled technological power in the field of micro-etching.

Vault Creation is currently working on a research project for a transparent mask of which both the mask itself and the filter are transparent. As soon as the development is completed, the company plans to launch this product through Kickstarter and Amazon.
