What materials are used in the construction of the 3M 1110 corded earplug?

Answer:
The earplug tips are made from slow-recovery, hypoallergenic polyurethane foam in orange, attached to a flexible red polyester cloth cord. The assembly is entirely dielectric with no metal components.

The 3M 1110 is fabricated from industrial-grade safety materials engineered for hygiene and electrical isolation:

  • Plug Material: Slow-recovery, hypoallergenic polyurethane foam with a smooth, dirt-resistant exterior finish to prevent particulate adhesion during insertion. Plug color is orange.
  • Cord Material: Woven polyester cloth cord in red, securing the two plugs to rest around the worker's neck between exposures.
  • Dielectric Rating: Fully non-conductive and electrically insulated containing zero metal parts (non-metal detectable), making it safe for electrical maintenance and industrial environments.
