3M 7000029952 Metal Detectable Corded Earplugs Regular

Product Description

The 3M 7000029952 is a corded, metal detectable earplug designed for use in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other industries where foreign-body contamination control is critical. Built on the E-A-Rsoft foam platform, these earplugs combine a soft, slow-recovery polyurethane foam body with a metal detectable compound that triggers standard inline metal detection equipment. Each pair ships on a cord to reduce the risk of lost plugs in controlled environments. Sold in a poly bag format, this box contains 200 pairs, making it a practical stocking unit for safety managers and site supervisors.

These earplugs are suited for environments with high ambient noise levels where hearing protection is required alongside strict contamination protocols. Typical applications include food and beverage production lines, pharmaceutical clean rooms, and chemical processing facilities. The corded design allows workers to let the plugs hang around the neck during brief breaks without setting them down near product or machinery. The regular size fits the majority of adult ear canals and is appropriate for extended wear during full shifts.

Key Features

• Metal detectable foam body activates standard inline metal detection systems
• Corded design keeps pairs together and reduces loss in production environments
• Slow-recovery E-A-Rsoft foam for comfortable extended wear
• Regular size for broad adult fit coverage
• Poly bag packaging keeps pairs clean and individually accessible
• 200 pairs per box supports bulk site stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in hearing protection solution for corded earplug programs in food processing, pharmaceutical, and other contamination-sensitive industrial environments where metal detectable PPE is required by facility protocol.

Installation Notes

Roll the earplug down to a thin cylinder before insertion and hold it in place until the foam expands fully to create a proper seal. Inspect each plug before use for damage or contamination that could compromise fit or detection reliability. Follow facility PPE and contamination-control protocols when issuing, wearing, and disposing of used pairs. Disposal should comply with applicable site waste management procedures.
