Ansell AlphaTec® 56-015 Medium-Duty PVC Protective Apron (Blue) — 5–6 mil Die-Cut Vinyl (PVC), One-Piece Seamless Construction with Integral Head Opening + Ties, 33" x 39" / 33" x 44" / 33" x 47" (72/Case)

PPE Apron Vinyl (PVC) 5–6 mil One-Piece / Seamless Integral Head Opening + Ties Blue 72/Case Silicone-free: Not Tested

Overview

AlphaTec® 56-015 is a medium-duty PVC (vinyl) protective apron designed to help reduce torso exposure from routine wet-process splashes and drips. The published 5–6 mil die-cut PVC construction is intended to blend flexibility with puncture and abrasion resistance while providing splash protection against common workplace liquids.

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

Reduces routine splash exposure: helps protect the torso and upper legs from drips, splash, and overspray during transfers, sanitation, and wash-down work.
Adjustable, fitted wear: integral head opening and ties support stable coverage during movement and repetitive tasks.
Durable, easy-to-clean design intent: seamless vinyl construction is designed to remain durable and reduce places where soils can collect.
Right-size your coverage: three size options help match 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)

Always confirm chemical compatibility and PPE selection using your site hazard assessment and the applicable SDS for the 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, 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 Routine Splash Control Sanitation + Maintenance Standard Work + Training

The most common exposure is not catastrophic—it is repetitive

Many incidents start as “minor” splashes: a drip line at a valve, overspray during wash-down, or a pour that sloshes at the end of a transfer. Over time, those events soak garments, drive skin irritation, and normalize unsafe shortcuts. A protective bib apron is a practical barrier control because it places coverage at the torso and lap area—where splash and drip exposure commonly lands.

Why a 5–6 mil PVC apron is a “workhorse” control

AlphaTec® 56-015 is published as a die-cut 5–6 mil PVC apron designed to blend flexibility with puncture and abrasion resistance while guarding against routine splash contact from common workplace liquids. This type of apron is often selected when teams need protection that is easy to don, easy to stage, and comfortable enough to be worn consistently during frequent wet tasks.

Operational takeaway

The “best” PPE is the PPE your teams actually wear. Selecting a proven, comfortable apron helps keep splash control consistent—especially in sanitation, maintenance, and transfer workflows where pace and repetition invite shortcuts.

Fit retention is a safety feature

Aprons protect only when coverage stays where it should. 56-015 uses an integral head opening with ties to support an adjustable, fitted wear. In practice, one standardized tie method and the right bib length reduce apron drift during bending, lifting, and transferring.

Standardize donning: train a consistent tie routine so drifting coverage does not become “normal.”
Pick coverage intentionally: 33" x 39", 33" x 44", and 33" x 47" support different tasks and wearer needs.
Define change triggers: tears, pinholes, heavy soil load, or a major exposure event 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 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 touch contaminated apron surfaces and then touch controls, doors, or tools. Controlled wipe-down materials can support safer transitions.
