Ansell AlphaTec® 56-009 Medium-Duty PVC Protective Apron (Blue) — 5–6 mil Vinyl (PVC), Raw Edge Finish, Seamless Construction, Permanently Sealed PVC Grommets + Three-Piece 28" Ties (72/Case)

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

Overview

AlphaTec® 56-009 is a medium-duty vinyl (PVC) protective apron designed to help reduce torso and lap exposure from routine wet-process splash, drip, and overspray. The published 5–6 mil PVC construction is intended to combine flexibility with puncture and abrasion resistance, while the raw edge finish and seamless build support practical day-to-day wear.

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 where it counts: helps reduce exposure to the torso and upper legs during transfers, sanitation, and wash-down work.
Fit retention and consistency: permanently sealed PVC grommets and three-piece 28" ties are designed to support a durable, adjustable, consistent fit without tear-out.
Reduced trapping risk: seamless vinyl construction is designed to minimize areas where soils and residue can accumulate.
Comfort supports compliance: flexible PVC is intended to stay wearable during repetitive tasks—helping reduce “PPE fatigue” behaviors.

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)

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/carton of 72 aprons. 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® 56-009 Routine Splash & Drip Control Sanitation + Maintenance

Safety exposure is usually “small and frequent,” not one big event

Many facilities plan for major incidents, but most day-to-day exposure happens in smaller moments: the last second of a pour, a hose connection that drips, overspray during wash-down, or a valve that releases unexpectedly. Those “minor” events compound. A bib apron is a practical control because it places a barrier at the torso and lap—common impact zones for wet-process splash and drip exposure.

What makes AlphaTec® 56-009 a practical “workhorse” apron

AlphaTec® 56-009 is published as a medium-duty, 5–6 mil vinyl (PVC) apron with a raw edge finish and seamless construction. It is designed to provide protection against common workplace splash hazards (including acids, bases, oils, fats, and chemicals), while remaining flexible enough to wear during repetitive tasks. For many teams, that balance is what drives compliance: the PPE must be protective, but also wearable.

Operational takeaway

PPE performance is not just material science—it is behavior. The more “normal” it feels to wear protection, the less likely teams are to rationalize skipping it.

Fit retention is a safety feature, not a convenience

Aprons only protect when coverage stays where it should. AlphaTec® 56-009 uses permanently sealed PVC grommets and three-piece 28-inch ties to support a durable, adjustable fit without tear-out. The result should be more consistent coverage during bending, lifting, and transfers—exactly when splash events tend to occur.

Standardize donning: one tie method, trained and repeated, prevents drifting coverage from becoming “normal.”
Pick coverage intentionally: select the bib length based on the task—not just what is closest on the shelf.
Define change triggers: tears, pinholes, heavy soil load, or major splash events should trigger replacement per SOP.

Aprons are one part of the PPE system

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