NoiseBreaker Ear Plugs For The Oil & Petrochemical Industry

Working within the oil and petrochemical industry could cause long-term health issues if proper precautions are not taken. It is a notoriously loud environment so wearing effective ear protection is a must.

That’s where our Emtec NoiseBreakers® come in. Made of silicone rubber, the NoiseBreakers’ perfect fit ensures they stay in place and won’t budge, even under strenuous activity. This ensures they will provide the wearer with effective ear protection for prolonged periods of time, making them ideal for the oil industry.

Comfortable to wear, even when combined with breathing apparatus, helmets and safety glasses, our NoiseBreakers are vented and custom moulded, designed to perfectly fit a person’s ear canal and concha bowl. 

Providing laboratory levels of protection in any environment, our NoiseBreakers are made of a medical grade silicone rubber – a derivative of silica – making them a great environmental choice, as this material has no adverse effect on nature.

They also help to eliminate waste, thanks to the NoiseBreakers’ permanent nature as, unlike other ear protection used within the oil and petrochemical industry, they are not a disposable plug.

Emtec has the experience and capability to supply directly to the oil and gas industry worldwide. So if you are working in oil and petrochemicals and want to find out how you can ensure you’re fully protected against hearing problems, contact us to find out more or place your order.

Attenuation Data

H 28
M 21
L 17
SNR 25.3

Due to the perfect fit of NoiseBreakers, they work in the real world as they do in the laboratory and therefore the Standard Deviation is minimal. Hence to get a true picture of the attenuation of NoiseBreakers, the Mean Attenuation at each frequency is the key number, rather than the SNR (Single Number Rating)

Attenuation details on NoiseBreakers tested at Salford University Department of Applied Acoustics EN352-2:2002.
