| Industrial Insta-Mold Earplugs
 Industrial
accounts looking for an excellent cost effective solution in protecting
their employees, look no further than custom-made Insta-Mold's. Having a
registered CE number for European distribution, Insta-Mold silicones
continue to be recognized worldwide as the leader in proven "on-the-spot"
protection. This fact has been even more recognized now that hearing loss
litigation and testing have been increasing.
Insta-Mold earplugs are made from a medical grade silicone and provide
employees with the ultimate in comfort and satisfaction as they are custom
shaped to the employee's own ear. Remaining flexible and soft throughout
their lifetime, the Insta-Molds will provide several years of use. This
eliminates the amount of discomfort employees face with the typical supplied
foam earplugs when they try to expand back to their original shape, and/or
the constant pressure of a set of earmuffs.
Insta-Mold's will also reduce the amount a company annually spends on
hearing protection requirements. With a lifespan of 4-7 years depending on
use, working environment and employee care, Insta-Mold's have benefits
beyond just hearing protection. Below is a quick cost comparison chart
reflecting the widely used "uncorded" foam disposable earplug ($0.20/pair -
$0.35/pair) versus a set of "corded" Insta-Mold's. This example makes a
conservative assumption that an employee will use only two pairs of "uncorded"
foam plugs each day for a total year of 240 work days. ("Corded" foam
earplugs are generally $0.15 to $0.20 more expensive per pair).

Factoring this equation over a four-year period, this cost comparison
becomes immense, especially with a larger workforce. In addition, the money
that is saved can be better allocated to research and design, machinery
maintenance, computer upgrades, building improvements, and employee hiring
and training. The immediate benefits will be recognized to both company and
employee for many years to come.
