Moldex-Metric, Inc. announces the launch of two innovative, new products to join their popular line of EcoStation and PlugStation Earplug Dispensers that continue Moldex’s long history of easy to use high quality work place safety and worker protection products. These two products address today’s enhanced concerns over workplace hygiene and worker comfort.

Moldex presents the first 100% hands-free earplug dispenser - the TouchFree EcoStation. Continuing the theme of a more hygienic way to dispense earplugs, Moldex has also launched an antimicrobial earplug dispenser, EcoStation Copper.

“The last 12-18 months have certainly ushered in a new mindset when it comes to hygiene”, said Craig Smidt, Marketing Director of Moldex. “Products like the TouchFree EcoStation and EcoStation Copper are a proud display of our investment in R&D and our team’s ability to innovate based on consumer feedback.”

All EcoStations come ready to go with no set up or assembly needed, just insert batteries.

Using the TouchFree EcoStation is a simple as is sounds; just place your hand under the automatic sensor and a pair of earplugs will drop right into your palm. With the TouchFree EcoStation, you can eliminate touchpoints and choose a greener, cleaner workplace for all.

For the EcoStation Copper, Moldex merged the quality and convenience that are synonymous with all Moldex products with the protective properties of copper. The dispensing handle features a copper touch surface that continuously kills bacteria left behind by dirty hands, killing more than 99.9% of bacteria* within two hours.

Laboratory testing has shown that when cleaned regularly as part of a regular workplace hygiene program, this surface:

Continues to kill 99% of bacteria* even after repeated contamination

Helps inhibit buildup and growth of bacteria* within 2 hours of exposure between routine cleaning and sanitizing steps

*Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli 0157:H7, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Utilizing the unique Moldex Magnetic Brackets, earplug dispensers can be hung throughout a facility in seconds, making it easier and more convenient for workers to quickly access their hearing protection. These magnetic brackets are the first of their kind and fully compatible with all Moldex PlugStations and EcoStations.
