MaxiPlug Corded Earplugs Class 5 are industrial-grade hearing protection devices engineered for high-noise environments including mining, demolition, and manufacturing. These earplugs use a slow-recovery polyurethane foam and a tapered ergonomic design to ensure a custom-moulded seal that prevents noise bypass and maintains pressure-free comfort during extended shifts.
Achieving an SLC80 26dB certification, they assist OHS Compliance Managers in meeting AS/NZS 1270:2002 standards to mitigate risks of industrial deafness. The integrated corded design prevents loss in high-movement trade zones and allows for seamless integration with hard hats or earmuffs without compromising the protective seal.
