About Moldex: Innovators in Hearing and Respiratory Protection

Moldex has built its reputation over decades as one of the most trusted names in personal protective equipment. Headquartered in Culver City, California, all Moldex PPE solutions are designed in Culver City, California, and the vast majority are manufactured in the USA as well. That commitment to domestic production is matched by a relentless focus on innovation: with over 70 patents, Moldex is dedicated to developing innovative solutions that address the diverse hearing and respiratory needs of various industries.

Since their origins in the 1980s, Moldex has worked hard to develop products that feel better, last longer, and are better for the long-term health of the wearers and of the earth — driven by innovation, quality, and sustainability. This philosophy shows up in every product line, from their iconic earplugs to their full range of respirators.

Hearing Protection Built Around Comfort

When it comes to protecting workers from dangerous noise levels, Moldex sets the standard. Moldex foam earplugs are made of extra-soft, extra-light foam, with a tapered shape that fits easily in the ear canal, sealing gently and snugly without pressure. Many Moldex foam earplugs offer the highest independently tested NRR 33dB, making them suitable for most noisy environments. For over 30 years, Moldex has led the way in hearing protection — introducing trusted, iconic products like SparkPlugs®, Pura-Fit®, and the original earplug dispenser, PlugStation®.

Respiratory Protection for Every Hazard

On the respiratory side, Moldex offers a comprehensive system of protection. Moldex provides a large selection of respiratory protection with N95, P100, full or half face masks. Their half face respirators are engineered for all-day wearability, while a broad selection of respirator filters and respirator cartridges allows workers to customize their protection level to match specific airborne hazards. Proprietary innovations like the easy-breathing AirWave Respirator Masks and the cost-saving HandyStrap and SmartStrap demonstrate how Moldex pushes beyond basic compliance to deliver genuine comfort.

The construction industry requires respiratory and hearing protection that is both durable and comfortable, and Moldex PPE is designed to give workers the quality protection they need from respiratory hazards and dangerous sound levels. Beyond construction, Moldex serves professionals across healthcare, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and military and tactical applications. Moldex has taken a leadership position among global PPE manufacturers in minimizing environmental impact, taking proactive steps to create a smaller carbon footprint by sourcing recyclable materials and printing literature on recycled paper.

Whether you are outfitting a single worker or an entire job site, Moldex delivers the combination of protection, comfort, and durability that keeps people safe — shift after shift.
