PPE Apron Vinyl (PVC) 5–6 mil Sewn-Edge Finish Sealed Grommets + 28" Ties 4 Bib Sizes Blue 72/Case Silicone-free: Not Tested

Overview

AlphaTec® 56-007 is a medium-duty PVC (vinyl) bib apron designed to help reduce torso and lap exposure from routine wet-process splash, drip, and overspray. The manufacturer describes a 5–6 mil PVC construction with a sewn-edge finish and sealed grommets to support durability in day-to-day operations.

SOSCleanroom positions Ansell as best-in-class because safety programs depend on consistent specs and dependable documentation. 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

Routine splash control at the torso: helps reduce exposure where drips and splash typically land during transfers, sanitation, and wash-down work.
Durability where PPE gets tugged and stressed: sewn-edge finish and sealed grommets are intended to reduce edge wear and tie-point failure.
Fit retention is a safety feature: sealed grommets and three-piece 28" ties support consistent fit without tear-out during bending, lifting, and repetitive motion.
Right-size your coverage: four bib sizes help align protection to task exposure and wearer needs.

Typical work areas and tasks supported (published examples)

Plant disinfection and sanitization
Equipment maintenance and repair
Transferring liquids
Canning, bottling, storing, and transportation
Food-processing support tasks (e.g., packing fillets and ground meat)

Key specifications (published)

SKU	56-007
Product material	Vinyl (PVC)
Thickness	5–6 mil
Color	Blue
Finish / build	Sewn-edge finish; PVC construction (published)
Fit hardware	Permanently sealed PVC grommets; three-piece 28" ties

Always confirm chemical compatibility and PPE selection using your site hazard assessment and the applicable SDS for chemicals in use. Aprons reduce torso exposure; eye/face protection and properly selected chemical-resistant gloves may also be required for splash-prone tasks.

Packaging and handling

Shipped as a case of 72 aprons (6 bags of 12). Stage aprons near point-of-use so teams do not delay PPE when splash tasks occur unexpectedly.

Follow your facility SOP for wipe-down, segregation, and disposal based on the chemicals and soils encountered.

Storage and lifecycle control

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve vinyl flexibility.
Avoid sharp edges during staging and storage to prevent micro-cuts and tears.
Inspect before use (tears, pinholes, grommet/tie damage) and remove from service if compromised.

Documentation

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

PPE Safety Article AlphaTec® 56-007 Routine Splash & Drip Control Sanitation + Maintenance

The everyday exposure problem is “small and frequent,” not one big incident

In real facilities, exposure rarely arrives as a single dramatic event. More often it is a pattern: a drip line at a valve, a splash during the last seconds of a pour, overspray during wash-down, or liquid running off a tool or hose. Those “minor” events compound—soaked garments, skin irritation, and the slow normalization of unsafe shortcuts. A bib apron is a practical control because it places a barrier at the torso and lap where splash and drip exposure commonly lands.

What makes AlphaTec® 56-007 a practical “workhorse” apron

AlphaTec® 56-007 is described by the manufacturer as a 5–6 mil PVC protective apron with a sewn-edge finish and sealed grommets. That combination targets the realities of day-to-day wear: repeated movement, repeated tie tension, and constant contact with equipment edges, carts, bins, and work surfaces. In practice, PPE that holds up and stays wearable is PPE that gets worn consistently.

Operational takeaway

The “best” PPE is the PPE your teams actually wear. Standardizing a proven apron spec reduces variability, improves training consistency, and lowers the chance of “close enough” substitutions.

Fit retention is a safety feature, not a convenience

Aprons protect only when coverage stays where it should. 56-007 uses permanently sealed PVC grommets and three-piece 28-inch ties to support an adjustable, durable fit. When coverage drifts, the hazard does not wait—splashes occur during bending, lifting, disconnecting, and transferring.

Standardize donning: train one tie method so drifting coverage does not become “normal.”
Choose bib length intentionally: select 33" x 44", 47", 49", or 54" based on exposure zone and task motion.
Define change triggers: tears, pinholes, heavy soil load, or major splash events should prompt replacement per SOP.

Aprons are one component of the PPE system

A bib apron reduces torso and lap exposure; it does not protect eyes/face or hands/forearms. For splash-prone tasks, combine apron use with properly selected chemical-resistant gloves and appropriate eye/face protection based on your hazard assessment and the SDS for the chemicals in use.

Practical checklist

Confirm chemical(s), concentration, temperature, and exposure duration (SDS + site risk assessment).
Stage aprons at point-of-use so “PPE not available” does not become the real hazard.
Standardize disposal or decontamination workflows so contaminated PPE does not become a secondary transfer risk.

Why SOSCleanroom emphasizes best-in-class Ansell PPE

PPE programs fail quietly when “the same apron” becomes multiple different aprons through substitutions. Standardizing on a best-in-class manufacturer helps keep training, purchasing, and safety expectations anchored to one spec. SOSCleanroom’s close relationship with Ansell supports that consistency by helping customers align product selection, documentation, and replenishment planning.

Facility wipe-down support (reduces 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.
