Ansell AlphaTec® 54-290 Disposable Polyethylene Apron (White) — 1.75 mil, 28" x 45" Lightweight Splash Barrier, Food-Contact Compliant Materials (Box of 100 / Case of 600)

PPE Apron Polyethylene 1.75 mil 28" x 45" Disposable / Single-Use Box 100 / Case 600 FDA Food-Contact Materials (component)

Overview

AlphaTec® 54-290 is a disposable polyethylene apron built for light-duty protection where splash, drip, and surface contact are part of the job. The manufacturer describes a high-quality virgin polyethylene construction designed to balance flexibility with resistance to chemicals, fats, and oils, in a format that is easy to clean and conveniently packaged for rapid change-out.

SOSCleanroom emphasizes Ansell as best-in-class because safety programs depend on consistent specifications, dependable documentation, and predictable supply. Our close relationship with Ansell helps customers standardize PPE, reduce substitution risk, and keep training expectations consistent across shifts and sites.

Why this apron matters for safety

Controls routine splash exposure: provides a practical barrier for the torso and lap during handling, transfers, staging, and cleanup.
Designed for fast change-out: disposable aprons help reduce prolonged wear of contaminated PPE and simplify “replace, don’t risk it” behavior.
Food-contact materials compliance (component): component materials are described as complying with FDA regulations for food contact, supporting use in food processing workflows.
Stocking + training consistency: box/case packaging supports point-of-use staging so PPE is available when exposure happens unexpectedly.

Typical work areas and tasks supported (published)

Sample taking and processing
Blending and compounding solids and/or liquids
Food processing support tasks where splash and residue contact are expected
Life-sciences support work requiring frequent PPE changes

Key specifications (published)

SKU	54-290
Material / color	Polyethylene; white
Apron size	28" x 45"
Thickness	1.75 mil
Packaging	100 aprons per box (dispenser); 6 boxes per case (600 total)
Silicone-free	No (published)

Always confirm chemical compatibility and required PPE using your site hazard assessment and the applicable SDS for chemicals in use. Aprons reduce torso exposure; depending on the task, chemical-resistant gloves and eye/face protection may also be required.

Packaging and handling

Available as Box (100 aprons) or Case (6 boxes / 600 aprons). Stage dispensers near point-of-use so PPE is available without delay during splash-prone tasks.

After use, follow your facility SOP for segregation and disposal based on chemicals and soils encountered.

Storage and lifecycle control

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Keep aprons in original packaging until use to reduce tearing or punctures during staging.
Discard and replace immediately if torn, punctured, or heavily contaminated.

Documentation

Use manufacturer documentation alongside your hazard assessment to support PPE selection, training, and safe-work procedures.

PPE Safety Article AlphaTec® 54-290 Disposable Poly Apron Light-Duty Splash Barrier Food Processing + Life Sciences

Why disposable aprons are a high-impact control

In most plants and labs, exposure risk is rarely one dramatic event. It is repetitive: a drip at the end of a pour, overspray during wash-down, a splash-back while loading containers, or residue transfer from wet surfaces. Disposable aprons reduce risk by adding a simple barrier at the torso and lap—and by enabling fast “replace rather than tolerate” behavior when contamination occurs.

What AlphaTec® 54-290 is built to handle

AlphaTec® 54-290 is described as a polyethylene apron made from high-quality virgin material designed to combine flexibility with resistance to chemicals, fats, and oils, in a format that is easy to clean and conveniently packaged. Component materials are also described as complying with FDA regulations for food contact—an important detail for food processing environments where the PPE itself must be compatible with the work context.

Operational takeaway

The best PPE is the PPE people can access instantly. Dispensable packaging (100 per box; 6 boxes per case) helps stage protection where exposure happens.

Where this apron fits in the PPE system

A polyethylene apron reduces torso and lap exposure, but it does not protect eyes/face or hands/forearms. For splash-prone tasks, the apron should be paired with correctly selected gloves and appropriate eye/face protection based on your hazard assessment and the SDS for chemicals in use.

Define “change triggers”: any tear, puncture, heavy soil load, or major splash event should trigger immediate replacement.
Train “clean-to-dirty” movements: avoid touching clean controls (handles, buttons, touchscreens) with contaminated PPE.
Stage at the point of use: dispenser placement often determines compliance more than policy language.

Why SOSCleanroom emphasizes best-in-class Ansell PPE

PPE programs break down when “equivalent” substitutes quietly enter the supply chain and training no longer matches what teams actually wear. Standardizing on a best-in-class manufacturer helps keep expectations anchored to one specification and one documentation set. SOSCleanroom’s close relationship with Ansell supports that consistency by aligning product selection, availability, and qualification paperwork.

Facility wipe-down support (helps reduce secondary transfer)

Secondary transfer often happens when gloves contact contaminated apron surfaces and then touch controls, doors, or tools. Controlled wipe-down materials support safer transitions.
