Moldex Jetz Reusable Earplugs — Extra-Soft Triple-Flange Comfort, NRR 27
The Moldex Jetz are reusable triple-flange earplugs built for workers who re-enter high-noise zones repeatedly across a shift and need protection that stays comfortable after the sixth or seventh insertion of the day. The extra-soft elastomer formula reduces the ear-canal pressure that makes stiffer flanged plugs uncomfortable over time, while the triple-flange stem creates a reliable acoustic seal without the finesse required by foam roll-down plugs.
Moldex earplugs are engineered and manufactured in the USA, and the Jetz continue that tradition with a latex-free, PVC-free compound that carries Moldex's built-in antimicrobial protection — inhibiting bacteria growth between uses so a single Pocket Pak pair can serve a full work week when cleaned regularly. NRR 27 provides 10 dB of effective attenuation under OSHA's 50% derating formula, adequate for most manufacturing, utilities, and construction environments up to approximately 100 dBA TWA.

Key Features
Model Variants
| Model | Description | NRR | Pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6450 | Jetz — uncorded | 27 | 50 pairs / Pocket Pak |
| 6455 | Jetz — corded | 27 | 50 pairs / Pocket Pak |
Corded (6455) vs. uncorded (6450): The corded version keeps the pair connected when removed — ideal for jobs where plugs come out frequently (talking to a supervisor, answering a radio) and re-insertion is common. The cord reduces the chance of losing or dropping one plug in a dirty or wet environment. Uncorded suits workers who prefer a cleaner feel or who remove plugs less frequently.

Applications
Manufacturing & Assembly
The combination of easy flanged insertion and extra-soft material makes the Jetz well-suited to manufacturing floors where workers enter and exit high-noise machinery zones repeatedly. The reusable format reduces daily earplug consumption and the waste management burden compared to disposable foam programs.
Construction & Utilities
Workers operating saws, compressors, or generators benefit from NRR 27's 10 dB effective attenuation. The antimicrobial compound is practical on job sites where plugs spend time in a dirty tool belt or vest pocket between uses.
Repeat-Entry Environments
Any application where workers regularly move between quiet and noisy zones — utilities substations, pump rooms, HVAC work — the flanged design's no-memory insertion (no roll-and-wait like foam) means re-insertion takes seconds rather than the 30–60 seconds required for foam to expand to a full seal.
Workers with Foam Sensitivity
Some workers find foam roll-down plugs uncomfortable due to the expansion pressure inside the canal. The Jetz flanged design creates an acoustic seal through contact without expansion pressure, making them a recommended alternative for workers who resist hearing protection compliance due to foam discomfort.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 Compliance Note
Under OSHA's hearing conservation standard, the Moldex Jetz (NRR 27) provide 10 dB effective attenuation when OSHA's 50% derating is applied: (27 – 7) × 0.5 = 10 dB.
| Workplace TWA (dBA) | Effective Level at Ear | OSHA Compliant? |
|---|---|---|
| 90 dBA (PEL) | 80 dBA | Yes — 10 dB margin |
| 95 dBA | 85 dBA | Yes — at action level |
| 100 dBA | 90 dBA | Yes — meets PEL |
| 105 dBA | 95 dBA | No — dual protection required |
For environments above 100 dBA TWA, pair with NRR 27+ earmuffs (dual protection) or upgrade to a higher-rated protector. Always confirm fit through audiometric testing as required by 1910.95(g).
