3MS312-1219 - 3M E-A-R TaperFit 2 Uncorded Foam Earplugs, NRR 32dB, 200 Pairs/Box

High-Performance Hearing Protection for Industrial Environments

The 3M E-A-R TaperFit 2 Uncorded Earplugs (SKU: 312-1219) are a staple in industrial safety, providing superior noise attenuation and all-day comfort. Designed for versatility and efficacy, these earplugs feature a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 32 dB, making them suitable for high-decibel environments such as manufacturing plants, construction sites, and metal fabrication shops. The plugs are manufactured from soft, slow-recovery polyurethane foam that is dermatologically safe and non-irritating to the skin.

The defining feature of the TaperFit 2 is its tapered design, which allows for easy insertion into the ear canal. Once inserted, the foam gently expands to create a custom seal against the ear canal walls. This self-adjusting nature ensures that the earplugs fit a wide variety of ear canal sizes and shapes while maintaining a low-pressure fit that reduces wearer fatigue during long shifts. The smooth, soil-resistant skin of the earplug prevents dirt and grime from adhering to the surface, promoting better hygiene in dirty work environments.

This product is supplied in a dispenser-ready box containing 200 individually poly-bagged pairs. The individual packaging ensures that each pair remains sanitary until the moment of use, a critical requirement for compliance in shared workspaces. As an uncorded model, these earplugs are particularly safe for use around moving machinery where cords could present a snagging hazard. The 3M TaperFit 2 represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution for bulk hearing protection requirements.
