From ZEN NR
"ZEN has had comprehensive testing performed on its biocidal coating and demonstrated that it can provide an added level of protection for front-line workers and the public. Most importantly, Nucro-Technics (a world-renowned testing facility) has performed extensive testing for cytotoxicity, irritation and skin sensitization and shown that its product is safe. Our partner Trebor Rx Corp. (Trebor) has also completed considerable testing on masks and has successfully passed Canadian requirements as a level 1 Medical Device for ASTM Level 1,2 and very recently, level 3, the highest level for surgical masks."

Here is the problem with this NR. The failed graphene mask from China could pass all these tests. Because HC does not offer a test that determines whether the mask releases any nano material into the human breathing it. Even though cytotoxicity suggests no damage to cells, there is no test to determine if the particles "plug up" those lung cells. If they did offer such a test, it would require human trials. Thats the issue here, not as ZEN is suggesting in this NR (IMHO)

Also note the fact ZEN forgot to mention that at this point they are not allowed to sell any of these masks? Thats because the masks do not belong to ZEN, they belong to Trebor, in which case you would have expected Trebor to report in their narrative that they cannot sell a Mask treated with any companies Graphene or GO at this time? But, TREBOR has not taken possession of any Treated Masks yet, so theoretically they are NOT SELLING TREATED MASKS at this time. Trebor notes that their UNTREATED masks can meet Level 1 ASTM etc etc, but that is also not the issue at hand.

So there is a "tad bit of tap dancing" being done in this NR! :) Me thinks the market can read between these lines. The market always reads what is not in an NR, and ZENners never read an NR those are "givens".
