Viral Leaking Mask Filled with Eucalyptus Oil, This Experiment Proves the Correct Way

Kapanlagi.com - Starting from masks to eucalyptus oil, these two items are important elements to use daily, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is clear that masks are useful for protecting oneself and as the first prevention against the transmission of the Corona virus. Meanwhile, eucalyptus oil itself makes breathing easier and keeps the body warm.

Recently, there has been an idea to apply eucalyptus oil to masks to make breathing even easier. Many people do this to reduce stuffiness, difficulty breathing, and dizziness when wearing masks for hours.

However, recently a viral video circulated on the internet explaining that pouring eucalyptus oil onto masks actually makes them leak and unfit to be used again. What is the truth?

Starting from the Proof of the Chairman of PMI North Sumatra

The debate about whether pouring eucalyptus oil into masks is good or not started from a proof video made by the Chairman of PMI North Sumatra. In the video, it is explained that masks that have been poured with eucalyptus oil can make the masks leak and seep when exposed to water.

Indeed, masks that leak when in contact with water become damaged and unfit to use. This video then became a hot topic on social media.

Proof by Pouring Eucalyptus Oil and Applying Plossa Eucalyptus

To prove the truth about mask leakage, the YouTube channel VS Experiment demonstrated it through a video experiment. In this video, it is proven through 3 different masks to show their accuracy.

The first mask without eucalyptus oil, the second mask is filled with eucalyptus oil, and another mask is applied with Plossa Eucalyptus which has a roller part.All three masks are stretched and then water is poured as proof.

Does a Mask that Comes in Contact with Eucalyptus Oil Leak?

These three masks are then hung and water is poured onto each surface.The first mask without any additional substances appears safe and does not leak.On the other hand, the second mask filled with eucalyptus oil leaks after water seeps and drips down.Meanwhile, the third mask applied with Plossa Eucalyptus proves not to cause leakage.

Both masks come in contact with eucalyptus oil, why doesn't the application by smearing make the mask leak? It turns out that the application of Plossa Eucalyptus evenly and not excessively compared to pouring eucalyptus oil.

Revealed Visual Microscope Results of Masks after the Experiment

Pouring eucalyptus oil into the mask proves to make the mask leak. This is proven by the microscope visual where the mask fibers become loose and untidy. Meanwhile, the applied Plossa Eucalyptus provides an even application and does not damage the fibers within the mask.

See? It's actually not a problem to use eucalyptus oil on the mask. However, make sure to know the correct way to use it so that it does not damage the mask!
