OVERVIEW

Essential Noise Protection for Welders and Fabricators

Welding shops are notoriously loud environments. Between the high-pitched whine of angle grinders, the roar of chop saws, and the crackle of welding arcs, a fabricator's hearing is under constant assault. The 3M 1100 Uncorded Foam Earplugs provide the heavy-duty protection needed to prevent noise-induced hearing loss in metalworking environments. Supplied in a convenient box of 200 pairs, these disposable plugs are an essential addition to any welder's PPE kit.

Built for the Shop Floor

When you are under a welding hood or grinding a bevel, you need gear that doesn't get in the way. The uncorded design of the 3M 1100 prevents snagging on helmet gear, collars, or other equipment, allowing for full freedom of movement. The earplugs are made from a soft, slow-recovery foam that conforms to the unique shape of your ear canal. This ensures a tight seal that blocks out harmful frequencies while remaining comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time. The smooth outer skin is resistant to dirt, which is crucial in a shop environment where hands and gloves may carry grease or metal dust.

Maximum Attenuation

With an impressive Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB, these earplugs are among the most effective in their class. They are specifically engineered to dampen the loud, sharp noises typical of metal fabrication. Protecting your hearing today means preserving your quality of life tomorrow. The bright orange color serves a dual purpose: it makes the plugs easy to find in a crowded tool bag and allows safety officers to easily confirm compliance on the shop floor.

Convenient and Hygienic

Hygiene is paramount when inserting objects into the ear. The disposable nature of the 3M 1100 means you simply toss them at the end of the shift—no washing or sanitizing required. The box of 200 pairs acts as a dispenser, making it easy to grab a fresh pair at the start of the day or after a break. Combine these plugs with earmuffs for dual protection during extremely loud operations like carbon arc gouging.
