Are steam eye masks good?

Hot compress is a commonly used physical therapy method in medicine, and it has a very good therapeutic effect on many diseases. Using the principle of hot compress, many scientists have also developed some very practical products, such as hot compress steam eye masks. This product, when worn directly above the eyes, can produce a hot compress effect, relieve eye fatigue and solve eye diseases. So, are steam eye masks good?

The steam eye mask uses advanced self-heating temperature control technology, which allows the moisture in the air to react chemically with the iron powder inside the eye mask to form a heating element, generating fine, warm water vapor that is invisible to the naked eye. It is a generic name for a class of products developed in response to the needs of the eye care market, and is named because it can spontaneously generate heat and produce steam.

Reaction Principle

The reaction principle of the steam eye mask is the rapid oxidation reaction principle of carbonyl iron powder after contact with oxygen in the air. In order to keep the temperature longer and more constant, the product uses a very precise breathable membrane. Because the product cannot react before use, the bag material must be very special, made of KOP+printing layer+PE composite. When in use, remove the outer bag and expose the product to the air for 30 seconds. The oxygen in the air will enter through the micro-permeable membrane. The time and temperature of the heat released are controlled by the oxygen permeability rate of the breathable membrane. If the oxygen permeates too quickly, excess heat will result, which may cause burns to the skin. If the oxygen permeation is too slow, the temperature is too low. After use, it becomes a dark brown solid, which contains carbon powder, solid (this is edible salt), solid and salts containing magnesium and aluminum.

The external reaction principle of steam eye mask

Steam is evenly released through high-grade medical non-woven fabric, and the warmth of steam is used to promote blood microcirculation in the eyes, relax tense eye muscles, and eliminate eye fatigue and discomfort.

The internal reaction principle of the steam eye mask

It uses the reaction of the galvanic cell to speed up the oxidation reaction, convert chemical energy into thermal energy, and then use the generated heat to evaporate the moisture in the internal material steadily, thereby using the heat and humidity of the steam to relieve eye fatigue, promote eye blood circulation, and improve eyesight and refresh the mind.

In order to make the temperature last long enough, the inner bag of the heating sheet made by logistics is exposed to the air. The oxygen in the air enters through the breathable membrane, reacts with the iron powder, and releases heat. The time and temperature of heat release are controlled by the oxygen permeability rate of the breathable membrane. If oxygen permeates too quickly, too much heat will be released, which may burn the skin. If the oxygen permeation is too slow, there will be no temperature.

The steam generation process is that the internal material releases heat, which greatly accelerates the evaporation rate of the water contained therein. The evaporated water vapor is quickly liquefied when cooled to form steam.
