Overview

AlphaTec® 56-101 is a heavy-duty, flexible PVC bib apron engineered for wet and chemical-handling environments where chemical splash control and resistance to oils, grease, punctures, and abrasion are required at the operator interface. The 18 mil die-cut vinyl construction is designed to deliver robust barrier performance while remaining wearable for routine tasks.

SOSCleanroom stocks and supports best-in-class brands because critical operations cannot afford “close enough” PPE. Our close relationship with Ansell helps customers standardize specifications, align documentation for EHS/QA packets, and reduce spec drift across shifts, sites, and audit cycles.

Why this apron matters in wet/chemical workflows
  • Barrier + toughness in one layer: 18 mil die-cut PVC is specified to provide chemical splash protection while helping withstand punctures and abrasion.
  • Fit stability under motion: sealed grommets and 48-inch ties enable adjustment without tear-out.
  • Practical durability: vinyl construction is designed for flexible, sustained personal protection in repetitive wet tasks.
Typical tasks supported (published examples)
  • Plant disinfection and sanitization
  • Transferring liquids
  • Equipment maintenance and repair
  • Storing and transportation; canning; bottling
  • Food processing tasks (e.g., packing fillets and ground meat)

Chemical splash performance is chemistry-specific. Confirm compatibility for your exact chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and exposure duration before standardizing.

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat garment systems as part of the facility’s Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). AlphaTec® 56-101 is an industrial chemical/soil-control outer layer and is not positioned as a sterile cleanroom garment. If used near classified areas, control it through CCS/SOPs: where it can be worn, how it is cleaned, and when it must be changed.

  • Define the boundary: keep industrial aprons in support spaces unless your CCS explicitly assesses and permits use.
  • Cleaning discipline: validate wipe-down chemistry and technique to prevent residue transfer and run-off behind the apron boundary.
  • Change triggers: document replacement triggers (splash event, tears, uncontrolled contact, end-of-task/shift) and train to them.

The Technical Vault By SOSCleanroom
Manufacturer PDS-first PVC splash-layer control Tie + grommet integrity ISO-first, Annex 1-aware
Spec-first selection (how to choose the right size)
  • 33" x 44": typically appropriate for bench/cart work where splash zones are concentrated torso-to-knee.
  • 33" x 49": choose when vessels are higher, operators lean forward, or splash zones extend lower on the leg.
  • 18 mil PVC is intentional: select this thickness when puncture/abrasion risk is real (bin edges, cart frames, frequent contact) rather than occasional.
Why best-in-class matters

In regulated or high-uptime operations, “equivalent” PPE often introduces spec drift. Standardizing on Ansell through SOSCleanroom supports documentation continuity, predictable performance expectations, and fewer surprises during audits, investigations, and process change control.

Donning and doffing discipline (reduce transfer and rework)
  1. Don last: put the apron on after base garments and gloves so it stays the outer “dirty boundary.”
  2. Tie discipline: keep ties flat and short (no long loops) to reduce snagging and unintended contact with controls.
  3. Control touchpoints: avoid resting the apron front on benches/carts to prevent residue transfer.
  4. Doff without snap: untie, peel away from the body, and avoid whipping motions that can aerosolize droplets.
  5. Change triggers: puncture/tear, grommet damage, splash event, or uncontrolled contact with non-process surfaces.
Wipe-down and cleaning control (make the apron a control, not a risk)
  • Wipe top-to-bottom: prevent run-off into tie points and behind the apron boundary.
  • Validate chemistry + contact time: in regulated programs, cleaning/disinfection expectations belong in SOPs/CCS.
  • Segregate by soil level: define whether aprons are single-task, single-shift, or re-used with controlled wipe-down between tasks.
Recommended Texwipe pairings (reduce residue and transfer)
Annex 1 / CCS boundary reminder

Industrial aprons are not sterile gowning systems. If your program operates under EU GMP Annex 1 expectations, define apron use through the CCS: where it is allowed, how it is cleaned/disinfected, and how changes are triggered and documented.
