Overview

AlphaTec® 56-103 is a flexible, die-cut vinyl (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 added 18 mil stomach patch reinforces a critical high-wear zone, helping extend service life and improving protection where contact and friction are most common.

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 maintain more consistent supply for high-uptime production.

Why this apron matters in wet/chemical workflows
  • Splash + mechanical resistance in one layer: 18 mil die-cut PVC is published to provide chemical splash protection (including acids/bases) while withstanding punctures and abrasion.
  • Reinforced high-wear zone: the added 18 mil stomach patch increases protection where repeated contact is most likely.
  • Fit stability without tear-out: sealed grommets and 48-inch ties support adjustability and reduce tie point failures during repetitive motion.
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)

Data note (thickness wording)

Published materials reference 18 mil PVC in the feature/specification statements, while some descriptive copy references 19 mil for the die-cut PVC layer. If thickness is a controlled purchasing parameter, confirm the shipped specification at time of order.

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® 56-103 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.

What the manufacturer data sheet is really telling you
  • Barrier intent: die-cut vinyl (PVC) is published for chemical splash protection (including acids/bases) while also withstanding oils/grease and mechanical hazards (puncture/abrasion).
  • Wear-zone engineering: the added stomach patch is a targeted reinforcement in a high-contact zone where tools, bins, cart edges, and operator posture drive abrasion.
  • Attachment control: sealed grommets and long ties exist for fit stability and reduced failure at tie points during repetitive motion.
Where an industrial PVC apron fits (and where it does not)

This product is best used as a chemical/soil-control outer layer in wet process areas, wash-down, transfer staging, maintenance, and utility workflows. It protects underlying garments and reduces operator exposure risk when splashes, drips, and contact soils are expected.

Annex 1 / CCS boundary rule

An industrial apron is not a sterile garment system. In Annex 1 environments, treat apron use as a CCS-controlled decision: define where it is allowed, how it is disinfected/cleaned, and the change triggers.

Selection checklist (how to specify correctly)
  • Coverage geometry: 33" x 44" bib coverage typically protects torso-to-shin for bench/cart work; confirm splash zone based on vessel height and task posture.
  • Thickness vs. dexterity: 18 mil supports tougher service than thinner films, but confirm mobility and heat burden for long wear times.
  • High-wear reality: if operators lean into equipment or carry bins against the body, the stomach patch can materially extend service life.
  • Chemical compatibility: “chemical splash” is chemistry-specific. Validate against your chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and exposure duration.
Donning and doffing discipline (to reduce transfer)
  1. Don last: put the apron on after base garments and gloves so it remains the outer “dirty boundary.”
  2. Tie discipline: keep ties flat (no long loops) to reduce snagging on valves, cart edges, and door hardware.
  3. Control touchpoints: do not use apron-front contact to stabilize on benches/carts—that transfers soils to “clean” surfaces.
  4. Doff without snap: untie waist first, peel away from the body, and avoid whipping motions that can spread residues.
  5. Change triggers: puncture/tear, grommet damage, splash event, or uncontrolled contact with non-process surfaces.
Cleaning and wipe-down strategy (make the apron work for you)
  • Wipe top-to-bottom: prevent run-off into ties and behind the apron boundary.
  • Validate chemistry + contact time: in regulated programs, disinfectant effectiveness and contact time must be documented (CCS/SOP).
  • Segregate by soil level: define whether aprons are single-task, single-shift, or re-used with controlled wipe-down between tasks.
