3M Ultrafit Earplugs 340-4017, Metal Detectable, Corded, Econopack, 2000 Pair/Case

3M Reusable Corded Ear Plugs 340-4017

The 3M Ultrafit Earplugs model 340-4017 are a great option for workplaces that require hearing protection and product safety. These earplugs are comfortable, reusable, and easy to use. Most importantly, they are fully metal detectable, which makes them ideal for sensitive industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.

The main benefit of the 340-4017 is its full detectability. Every part of this earplug, including the soft ear tip and the strong vinyl cord, contains metal particles. This is a critical safety feature for any facility worried about product contamination. If an earplug is accidentally dropped into a batch or on the production line, your metal detection systems can easily find it. This helps prevent costly shutdowns and protects your products. The bright blue color also makes them easy to spot during visual inspections.

These 3M Reusable Corded Ear Plugs are designed to be simple and clean. They have a firm stem that you can hold to guide the earplug into place. This means you never have to touch the soft tip that goes into your ear. This no touch design is much more hygienic, as it helps keep the ear tips clean, even when hands are dirty.

The ear tips themselves have a pre molded, triple flange design. This means you don't need to roll them down like foam plugs. They are ready to insert right out of the bag and provide a comfortable, secure seal against noise.

Because they are made from a soft, flexible polymer, the 3M Ultrafit Earplugs are comfortable enough to wear for an entire shift. The one size fits most design adapts to the shape of the ear canal, providing a reliable fit for most of your team.

These earplugs are also washable and reusable. Unlike single use foam plugs that you have to throw away every day, these can be cleaned and worn again and again. This saves you a significant amount of money on replacement costs and reduces waste at your facility. The included vinyl cord is strong and lets users wear the plugs around their neck when not in use.

This Econopack case includes 2,000 pairs, offering a great value for outfitting your entire team. These 3M Ultrafit Earplugs offer a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 25 dB and are compatible with the 3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Validation System to help you check the protection level each worker is getting.

7. *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.
8. Vinyl or cloth material options for cords
