Moldex 6840 Mellows Foam Earplugs 30 Db Nrr Corded

Product Description

The MOLDEX 6840 Mellows is a disposable, corded foam earplug designed for workers in mid- to high-level noise environments. Made from extra-soft, extra-light PVC-free foam, the 6840 features a tapered shape that slides easily into the ear canal and seals gently without causing irritation. The smooth outer surface minimizes discomfort during extended wear. With a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 30 dB, these earplugs deliver strong hearing protection while maintaining a low-pressure, smaller profile suited for all-day use. High-visibility orange plugs and a green cord make compliance checks straightforward in busy job sites.

The 6840 Mellows is intended for industrial and occupational settings where workers face sustained exposure to elevated noise levels. The corded design keeps the earplugs accessible between uses, reducing loss and making them practical for environments where hearing protection must be frequently put on and removed. The tapered profile accommodates even smaller ear canals, broadening fit across a diverse workforce. Safety managers, industrial hygienists, and occupational health coordinators commonly specify these earplugs for plant floors, construction sites, and manufacturing environments requiring consistent PPE compliance.

Key Features

• NRR 30 dB protection independently tested to ANSI S3.19-1974 by Michael Associates, Inc.
• Extra-soft, extra-light foam for reduced pressure and extended wear comfort
• Tapered shape allows easy insertion and removal, fitting even small ear canals

Compatibility

Designed as a one-size disposable corded earplug for general industrial and occupational hearing protection programs requiring an NRR 30 dB rated device.

Installation Notes

Proper fit is critical to achieving the rated NRR. Roll the earplug into a thin cylinder before insertion, reach over the head to straighten the ear canal, and hold the plug in place until it fully expands. Workers should receive fit training per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 hearing conservation program requirements. Inspect each pair before use and discard if the foam is misshapen, hardened, or visibly contaminated.
