FAQs
Do I need to roll these earplugs before insertion?
No. The ergonomic stem is specifically designed to eliminate the need for rolling, keeping the foam hygienic.
What is the SNR rating?
The Portwest EP12 has an SNR 37dB rating.
Can I wash and reuse these?
No, these are intended for single use only to maintain hygiene and safety standards.
Are they suitable for vending machines?
Yes, each pair is individually wrapped in a hygienic polybag, making them fully compatible with standard PPE vending machines.
Is the cord removable?
The cord is securely attached to the stem for user convenience and to prevent loss; it is not designed to be removed.

Each box contains 200 individually wrapped pairs.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a proper seal
Ensure you are pulling the top of your ear upward and backward to straighten the ear canal during insertion.
Earplugs falling out
The foam tip may be too large or not inserted deep enough. Ensure the foam is fully expanded inside the canal before releasing.
Irritation in the ear canal
Ensure the stem is not being pushed in too far; only the foam portion should be fully within the canal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To insert, hold the earplug by the stem, gently pull the top of your ear upward and outward, then push the foam tip into the ear canal with a slight twisting motion until a seal is formed.
- Compatibility: Suitable for all standard industrial environments. The 200-pair bulk box is designed for easy storage in tool cabinets or mounting on walls near site entrances.
- Care: These are single-use disposable earplugs. Do not attempt to wash or reuse the foam, as moisture and debris will compromise the material's integrity and protection rating. Dispose of immediately after a shift.
