FR1603 Earplug

Earplug – Description

Earplugs are small, protective devices worn in the ear canal to reduce exposure to loud noises, protect hearing, or prevent contamination in controlled environments. Depending on their type, earplugs are used in industrial settings, cleanrooms, medical environments, construction sites, and even sleep or travel applications.

Key Features

• Noise reduction: Rated by NRR (Noise Reduction Rating), commonly ranging from 25 dB to 33 dB

• Material types: Available in foam, silicone, rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)

• Disposable or reusable: Foam types are usually single-use, while silicone and flanged styles can be reused

• Ergonomic design: Designed to fit snugly in the ear canal for comfort and effectiveness

• Corded or uncorded: Corded styles reduce the risk of loss and are convenient for repeated use

• Cleanroom-safe options: Non-shedding, low-particulate materials available for contamination-sensitive areas

• Color-coded sizes: Different colors for easy size or application identification

Common Applications

• Industrial and manufacturing: Protects workers in high-noise areas like machinery rooms or assembly lines
