Ansell AlphaTec® 56-300 Heavy-Duty PVC Apron (Yellow) — 20 mil Die-Cut PVC Fabric with Reinforced Nylon Backing, Sealed Grommets + Two-Piece 48" Ties, Two Bib Sizes (33" x 44" / 33" x 48"), Integral Tie Closure (12/Case)

PPE Apron PVC (Vinyl) 20 mil Reinforced Nylon Backing Sealed Grommets Two-Piece 48" Ties 33" x 44" / 33" x 48" 12/Case Silicone-free: Not Tested

Overview

AlphaTec® 56-300 is a heavy-duty PVC (vinyl) bib apron engineered for wet-process environments where chemical splash, oils/grease, and grime can create routine exposure risk. The published 20 mil die-cut PVC fabric with reinforced nylon backing is intended to deliver durable protection while supporting consistent day-to-day wear.

SOSCleanroom positions Ansell as best-in-class because safety programs depend on consistent specs, dependable documentation, and repeatable training outcomes. Our close working relationship with Ansell helps customers reduce substitution risk and maintain uniform PPE expectations across shifts and sites.

Why this apron matters for safety

Controls routine splash exposure: helps reduce torso contact from drips, splash, and overspray during transfer, wash-down, and maintenance tasks.
Designed for tough work zones: published to guard against chemical splashes, oils/grease, punctures, and abrasion in high-contact environments.
Fit you can standardize: sealed grommets and two-piece 48" ties support consistent, adjustable fit while reducing tear-out risk at tie points.
Two bib sizes: helps you select coverage that matches the task and the user.

Typical work areas and tasks supported (published examples)

Plant disinfection and sanitization
Equipment maintenance and repair
Transferring liquids
Storing and transportation; canning; bottling
Food-processing support tasks (e.g., packing fillets and ground meat)

Key specifications (published)

SKU	56-300
Material / construction	PVC (vinyl) fabric with reinforced nylon backing
Thickness	20 mil
Color	Yellow
Closure / retention	Integral ties; sealed grommets; two-piece 48" ties
Available sizes	33" x 44" and 33" x 48"
Packaging	12 aprons per case
Silicone-free	Not tested (published)

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 of 12 aprons. Keep aprons in original packaging until use to reduce accidental damage (cuts, creases, or punctures) that can reduce barrier performance.

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.
Avoid sharp edges during staging and storage to prevent micro-cuts and tears.
Inspect before use (tears, pinholes, grommet stress, 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 Splash / Spray / Drip Control Oil / Grease / Grime Standard Work + Training

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

Most facilities prepare for major incidents, but everyday exposure risk comes from smaller, repeatable events: splash during pouring, drip lines at valves, hose overspray, and wipe-down run-off. Over time, those events soak garments, irritate skin, and create the conditions for unsafe shortcuts. A bib apron is a simple, high-leverage control because it adds a barrier layer at the torso—the most common landing zone for splash and spray.

Why “heavy-duty PVC + nylon backing” shows up in tough work zones

AlphaTec® 56-300 is published as a heavy-duty apron made from robust, flexible 20 mil PVC fabric with a reinforced nylon backing. In practical terms, this design intent addresses three predictable stressors: (1) repeated contact and abrasion against equipment and carts, (2) puncture and tear risk from snag points, and (3) ongoing exposure to oils, grease, and grime that can quickly degrade “lightweight” protective films.

Operational takeaway

When an apron becomes “optional” because it tears, drifts, or feels unreliable, the safety program absorbs the risk. Selecting a durable apron is a control that supports consistent PPE use—especially on repetitive splash tasks.

Fit retention is a safety feature (not a convenience)

PPE only protects when it stays in place. Published features include sealed grommets and two-piece 48-inch ties intended to provide an adjustable fit while reducing tie-point tear-out. In the field, better retention reduces re-adjustment, reduces snag hazards from loose ties, and keeps coverage stable during bending, lifting, and transfers.

Standardize the tie method: train one secure tie routine so apron drift does not become “normal.”
Inspect stress points: grommets and ties should be checked before high-splash tasks.
Select coverage intentionally: choose 33" x 44" vs 33" x 48" based on task exposure and user needs.

Integrate the apron into a complete PPE system

Aprons reduce torso exposure; they do not protect eyes/face or hands/forearms. For splash-prone work, pair a bib apron with properly selected chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection (goggles or face shield), and footwear controls based on your hazard assessment and SDS guidance.

Practical checklist

Confirm chemical(s), concentration, temperature, and exposure duration (SDS + site risk assessment).
Define “change triggers” for aprons (tear, puncture, major exposure event, contamination/soil load).
Standardize cleanup/disposal so contaminated PPE doesn’t become a transfer hazard to tools, handles, and controls.

Why SOSCleanroom emphasizes best-in-class Ansell PPE

PPE programs break down when the “same apron” becomes multiple different aprons due to 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.
