Product Summary
Moldex® respiratory and hearing protection products don't just look different, they are different. They're user friendly. They're easy to put on and fit. The contoured shape of our respirators doesn't require constant adjustment and they resist collapsing in heat and humidity. Avoid premature disposal and save money with Moldex® respirators. Moldex® also has the only complete line of PVC-Free® respiratory products.
You'll see specifics about patented Moldex® technologies like our Dura-Mesh® shell that naturally contours to the face, our EZ-ON®, the first NIOSH approved N95 single strap adjustable respirator, and our HandyStrap®, with buckle, which allows the mask to comfortably hang down around the user's neck when not in use.
Construction and Materials
The Moldex product line, within the Safety & Protection category, encompasses both Respiratory Protection and Noise Reduction/Acoustic solutions. These products are designed with user comfort and effectiveness in mind, utilizing a range of materials and construction techniques to meet stringent safety standards.
For respiratory protection, Moldex employs various materials to ensure a secure and breathable seal while effectively filtering airborne contaminants. Common materials include:
- Dura-Mesh®: This proprietary shell material is designed to resist collapsing in hot and humid environments, ensuring a longer lifespan for the respirator and maintaining its structural integrity.
- Elastomers: Soft and flexible synthetic rubber or silicone are often used for the facepiece seal. These materials are chosen for their hypoallergenic properties and ability to conform to a wide range of facial shapes, creating a comfortable and effective seal.
- Filter Media: Depending on the specific hazard, filter media can include electrostatically charged fibers, activated carbon, or specialized membranes. These are engineered to capture particulate matter, gases, and vapors with high efficiency.
- Headbands: Often constructed from latex-free elastic materials, headbands are designed to provide a secure and adjustable fit without causing discomfort or skin irritation.
Construction for respiratory protection often features:
- Low-profile design: This allows for better peripheral vision and compatibility with other personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses or welding helmets.
- Exhalation valves: Strategically placed exhalation valves reduce heat and moisture buildup inside the respirator, enhancing wearer comfort during extended use. These valves are typically made from a durable, flexible material and are designed for efficient airflow.
- Adjustable nose clips: Molded or metal nose clips are incorporated to allow users to customize the fit around the nose bridge, further improving the seal and preventing leakage.
In the realm of Noise Reduction/Acoustic products, Moldex focuses on materials that provide effective sound attenuation while prioritizing comfort and hygiene. Key materials include:
- Proprietary Foam Blends: Many earplugs utilize specially formulated, slow-expansion foam. This material is designed to expand gently within the ear canal, providing a comfortable fit and a superior seal against noise. The foam's texture and density are crucial for both comfort and noise reduction performance.
- TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) and Silicone: These materials are commonly used for earplug stems and for reusable earplugs. They offer durability, ease of cleaning, and flexibility for a comfortable insertion and fit.
- Polypropylene: Often used in the construction of earplug dispensers and carrying cases, providing a lightweight and durable housing for earplugs.
Construction for noise reduction products emphasizes:
- Tapered shapes: Many earplugs are manufactured with a conical or bell shape to easily fit into the ear canal and create an effective seal.
- Flanged designs: Some reusable earplugs feature multiple flanges, which help to create a more secure and comfortable fit across a wider range of ear canal sizes.
- Corded and uncorded options: Products are offered in both configurations to suit different user preferences and work environments. Cords are typically made from durable, yet flexible materials to prevent tangling and ensure longevity.
- Dispenser systems: For high-volume environments, Moldex provides dispenser units designed for easy access and hygiene, ensuring that earplugs are dispensed one at a time.
