About Moldex

Moldex-Metric is a German manufacturer based at Walddorfhäslach, near Stuttgart, with more than 400 employees across eight European locations and its own production site in the Czech Republic. That European manufacturing base is the brand's defining feature: when FFP2 and FFP3 demand spiked across Europe in 2020, Moldex was one of very few manufacturers still able to supply in full, precisely because it does not depend on imported components.

The disposable respirator range covers FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 in cupped, moulded and flat-fold formats, valved and unvalved, including the AIR series with its distinctive low breathing resistance. The reusable Series 8000 and 7000 half masks take exchangeable filters on a soft TPE mask body, and the hearing protection line — in production since 1986 — uses a PVC-free foam formulation that balances softness against the stability needed for a reliable roll-down fit.

Moldex is the brand we suggest where breathing comfort over a full shift matters as much as the filter rating — foundries, joineries, food production, pharmaceutical and construction dust work. Bear in mind that any tight-fitting Moldex mask still needs face fit testing for the specific model; our guide explains what that involves.

There are currently 31 products from Moldex in the catalogue, covering ppe, respiratory protection, masks and filters, from £22.23 ex VAT. Everything is available on business terms, with trade pricing that improves with volume. Orders over £100 ex VAT are delivered free, and most stocked lines dispatch for fast delivery.

Standards and how to choose

Specifying Moldex kit correctly means matching the product to the right EN standard. These guides explain what the ratings mean, in plain English:

FFP1 vs FFP2 vs FFP3: Which Respirator Mask Do You Need?The FFP rating on a disposable respirator tells you how much airborne particulate it filters out — but the differences between FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 aren't always obvious. Here's a plain-English guide.
What Is Face Fit Testing? A Plain-English Guide for EmployersIf your team wears tight-fitting masks, UK law expects each person to be face-fit tested. Here is what that means, when it applies, and the two methods used.
Hearing Protection SNR Explained: How Much Do You Need?SNR 27 or SNR 37? A higher number is not always better. Here is what SNR means, how much you need for the noise you work in, and why over-protecting can be as risky as under-protecting.
