Moldex : Quelles protective equipment respiratory and hearing for the environments of laboratory ?

A European benchmark in PPE, Moldex designs respiratory and hearing protection that combine performance, comfort and ease of use. Low breathing resistance FFP2/FFP3 disposable masks, reusable half masks with EasyLock filters, SparkPlugs earplugs and wall-mounted dispensers: everything is built for the safety of staff in laboratories, quality control, R&D, and pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. Reliable, long-lasting protection, compatible with your other PPE and aligned with the requirements of European standards.

Europe’s pioneer in laboratory protection since the 1980s

Founded in the early 1980s, Moldex has, in just a few decades, become a leading name in respiratory and hearing protection. Across Europe, the company draws on its head office and dedicated manufacturing sites to design and produce Made in Europe solutions under integrated quality control. Its growth has been driven by practical innovations - shape-retaining DuraMesh shells, low exhalation-resistance Ventex valves, adaptor-free EasyLock filters - and by ergonomics-led design. Staying true to responsible materials (products free from PVC) and to EN standards, the brand has extended its footprint in demanding sectors: pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, environmental, industrial maintenance and research laboratories.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

For respiratory protection, Moldex covers needs from laboratory to workshop. Disposable FFP2 and FFP3 masks use the DuraMesh shell that holds its shape, a soft foam nose cushion and, depending on the model, the Ventex valve to limit heat build-up. Versions with pleated AirWave media offer increased filter surface for easier breathing throughout the shift. For frequent use, 7000/8000 series half masks and 9000 full-face masks take the EasyLock filter system (particulate P2/P3 and gas/vapour EN143/EN14387) with no retaining rings or adapters: one click and it’s on, reducing the risk of error. Adjustable head harnesses, balanced weight distribution and compatibility with spectacles and visors meet the demands of weighing rooms, solvent handling, aseptic preparation and maintenance operations.

On hearing protection, the brand is just as highly regarded: foam earplugs SparkPlugs or Pura-Fit, reusable versions Rockets with stem, banded plugs Jazz-Band, earmuffs, and PlugStation dispensers for controlled availability in technical areas. Performance is certified to EN352, with attenuation levels suited to pharma, QC, clean utilities and maintenance workshops.

Beyond the numbers, Moldex stands out with equipment designed to drive team buy-in: comfortable for extended wear, intuitive adjustment, clear traceability, PVC-free materials and predominantly European manufacture. The result: reliable protection that streamlines EN149/EN140/EN136 compliance and fosters a lasting safety culture.

Frequently asked questions about the Moldex brand

Where are Moldex PPE made?
Most Moldex respiratory and hearing protection is designed and manufactured in Europe under integrated quality control. This proximity ensures quick turnaround, full traceability and consistent performance.

Which standards do Moldex products meet?
Depending on the model: EN149 for FFP, EN140/EN136 for masks, EN143/EN14387 for filters and EN352 for hearing protection. REACH compliant and documentation provided.

Are EasyLock systems compatible with other filters?
The EasyLock system removes the need for adapters and retaining rings. It accepts the dedicated Moldex particulate and gas/vapour filters. To maintain seal integrity and certification, do not mix with other brands.

How do I choose between FFP2 and FFP3 in the laboratory?
Base the choice on your risk assessment and workplace exposure limits (WELs). FFP2 suits moderate levels of fine dust; FFP3 is for higher concentrations and ultra-fine particles. Refer to safety data sheets.

Do Moldex products contain PVC?
The brand favours PVC-free materials across key ranges to reduce environmental impact and improve odour comfort. Technical data sheets specify the composition of each item.

How can I extend the service life of a Moldex half mask?
Clean as per the instructions, store away from dust and replace filters, head harness or seals when required. Reusable systems and spare parts make preventive maintenance straightforward.
