Ansell AlphaTec® 56-100 Heavy-Duty PVC Apron (Green) — 18 mil Die-Cut Vinyl (PVC) Splash Barrier with Sealed Grommets + Adjustable 48" Ties, Available Sizes 33" x 44" or 33" x 49" (12/Case)

PPE Apron Vinyl (PVC) 18 mil Heavy-Duty Sealed Grommets 48" Adjustable Ties 12/Case Silicone-free: Not Tested

Overview

AlphaTec® 56-100 is a heavy-duty PVC (vinyl) bib apron designed to reduce torso and lap exposure during wet-process tasks where splash, drip, spray, and incidental contact are routine. The manufacturer describes a flexible 18 mil die-cut PVC construction that supports chemical splash handling while helping resist oils, grease, punctures, and abrasion.

Ansell is best-in-class PPE, and SOSCleanroom maintains a close relationship with Ansell to help customers standardize on proven protective gear, reduce substitution risk, and keep safety programs consistent across shifts and sites.

Why this apron matters for safety

Helps control routine splash exposure: adds a practical barrier at the torso/lap where splash-back and drip exposure commonly lands.
Durable for high-contact work: 18 mil PVC supports abrasion and puncture resistance in active environments.
Fit retention is a safety feature: sealed grommets with adjustable 48" ties help prevent tie-point tear-out and keep coverage positioned during bending and reaching.
Standardization reduces risk: consistent PPE specs simplify training and reduce unsafe workarounds caused by “whatever is available” substitutions.

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)

Material / color	Vinyl (PVC); green
Thickness	18 mil
Fit / closure	Sealed grommets; adjustable 48" ties (integral ties)
Available sizes (this listing)	33" x 44" or 33" x 49"

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

Shipped as a case of 12 aprons. Stage aprons at point-of-use so teams do not delay PPE when splash tasks occur unexpectedly.

After use, 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 tie-point damage.
Inspect before use (tears, thinning, grommet stress) 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® 56-100 18 mil PVC Apron Wet-Process Exposure Control

The most common exposure is the one that happens every day

In food processing, life sciences, maintenance shops, and sanitation zones, exposure is often repetitive: a splash-back at the end of a pour, hose overspray during wash-down, or residue contact while moving containers. These are not “one-time incidents”—they are predictable events. A bib apron is a practical control because it targets the torso and lap, where liquids and soils routinely land when a worker leans into the task.

Why 18 mil PVC is a “work” thickness

AlphaTec® 56-100 is described as an 18 mil die-cut PVC apron that supports chemical splash handling while helping resist oils, grease, punctures, and abrasion. In practical terms, thickness matters because the highest-risk work is rarely gentle—aprons rub against tank edges, carts, bins, and equipment corners while workers lift, turn, and reach. The goal is not “bulletproof” PPE; the goal is consistent barrier coverage that holds up through real shifts.

Operational takeaway

When PPE is durable and comfortable enough to wear without constant readjustment, compliance improves and “just this once” shortcuts drop.

Fit retention is a safety feature, not a convenience

Aprons protect only when coverage stays where it should. AlphaTec® 56-100 uses sealed grommets and adjustable 48" ties to support secure positioning without tie-point tear-out. This matters most in high-motion moments—bending into a tank, reaching across a sink, turning while holding a container—when splashes are most likely.

Standardize donning: teach one tie method so coverage drift does not become “normal.”
Define change triggers: tear/puncture, heavy soil load, or a significant splash event should trigger replacement per SOP.
Stage at point-of-use: access drives compliance more than policy language.

Aprons are one component of the PPE system

A bib apron reduces torso exposure. It does not protect eyes/face or hands/forearms. For splash-prone tasks, pair 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.

Quick safety checklist for supervisors

Confirm chemical(s), concentration, temperature, and contact duration (SDS + site risk assessment).
Ensure eye/face protection is staged where splash is plausible.
Verify training includes “clean-to-dirty” movement to prevent secondary transfer from contaminated PPE.
Audit real behavior: replacement frequency is often the best indicator of program health.

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 safety expectations anchored to one specification and one documentation set. SOSCleanroom’s close relationship with Ansell supports that consistency by aligning product selection, availability, and replenishment planning.

Facility wipe-down support (helps reduce secondary transfer)

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