3M E-A-Rsoft FX Earplugs 312-1261 - Uncorded - Poly Bag - 2000 Pair/Case

3M E-A-Rsoft FX Earplugs have a large bell shape of soft foam for a comfortable fit with a flared end for easy removal. This earplug model is made of a soft, slow-recovery foam that also helps make insertion easier. Additionally, these earplugs have 3M's maximum noise reduction rating for hearing protection.

The 3M E-A-Rsoft FX Uncorded Ear Plugs seal the ear canal with soft, slow-recovery foam for excellent noise reduction and reliable hearing protection. The bell shape allows for easy fitting and removal. Recommended applications include assembly and mechanical, chipping, chiseling, cleaning, drilling, furnace operations, grinding, heavy equipment operations, machining, metal repair, painting, pouring/casting, power fastening, riveting, sanding, sawing and welding. These ear plugs are commonly used in the following industries: agriculture, automotive, chemicals, construction, general manufacturing, healthcare, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals. These ear plugs have a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 33 dB. Ear plugs are made of a polyurethane. Test compatible with 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System. *Note: 3M strongly recommends fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that many users will receive less noise reduction than indicated by the NRR due to variation in hearing protector fit, fitting skill, and motivation of the user. If the NRR is used, 3M recommends that it be reduced by 50% or in accordance with applicable regulations.

Details:

• *U.S. EPA specifies the NRR as the measure of hearing protector noise reduction. However, 3M makes no warranties as to the suitability of the NRR for this purpose. 3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill, and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations or guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. It is recommended that the NRR be reduced by 50% to better estimate typical protection.
