Overview

AlphaTec® 56-402 is a heavy-duty neoprene apron designed for chemical splash exposure and for work where oils, grease, puncture hazards, and abrasion are routine. The 16–17 mil nylon-reinforced neoprene construction is paired with a sewn-edge finish to balance durability, flexibility, and operator comfort during extended tasks.

SOSCleanroom stocks and supports best-in-class brands because critical workflows cannot afford inconsistent PPE performance. Our close relationship with Ansell helps customers standardize specifications, access manufacturer documentation for EHS/QA packets, and plan supply for high-uptime operations.

Why this apron matters in wet/chemical workflows
  • Durable splash-layer protection: neoprene with nylon reinforcement is specified for chemical splash exposure and resistance to oils, grease, punctures, and abrasion.
  • Comfortable flexibility for longer tasks: the design is positioned for robust protection without sacrificing operator mobility.
  • Fit stability: sealed grommets and two-piece 48-inch poly ties support a consistent, adjustable fit intended to reduce tear-outs and re-tying interruptions.
Typical tasks supported (published examples)
  • Plant disinfection and sanitization
  • Transferring liquids
  • Equipment maintenance and repair
  • Storing and transportation; bottling; canning
  • 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® 56-402 is an industrial chemical/soil-control outer layer (not positioned as a sterile cleanroom garment). If used near classified areas, control it through your 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.
Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store clean and dry, away from direct sunlight and sharp edges that can puncture or damage the apron.
  • Segregate clean inventory from used/soiled aprons to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Use FIFO and lot control consistent with your EHS/QA documentation practices.

Where this apron fits (and where it does not)

AlphaTec® 56-402 is an industrial neoprene apron intended for wet, oily, and chemical-splash tasks. In controlled manufacturing programs, products like this are commonly used in support zones (wash-down, transfer staging, maintenance, utility work) to protect underlying garments and reduce exposure.

CCS / Annex 1 boundary rule

An industrial apron is not a sterile garment system. If your process requires validated sterile gowning (e.g., Annex 1 Grade A/B activities), treat any apron use as a controlled exception with defined locations, cleaning method, and change triggers.

Selection checklist (how to specify correctly)
  • Geometry: 35" x 45" bib coverage is ideal where splash zones are waist-to-knee and work is bench or cart height.
  • Thickness vs. mobility: 16–17 mil is positioned as heavy-duty. Choose it when snag/abrasion risk is real, not theoretical.
  • Attachment integrity: sealed grommets + 48" ties reduce tear-out risk and help keep the apron in a stable position throughout the task.
  • Chemical reality check: “chemical splash protection” is chemistry-specific. Confirm compatibility for your exact chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and contact time.
Donning and doffing discipline (to reduce transfer)
  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 (no long loops) to reduce snagging on valves, cart edges, and door hardware.
  3. Control touchpoints: avoid using apron-front contact to stabilize yourself on carts or benches; 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, seam/grommet damage, splash event, or uncontrolled contact with non-process surfaces.
Cleaning and wipe-down strategy
  • Wipe top-to-bottom: prevent run-off into ties and behind the apron boundary.
  • Validate chemistry + contact time: in regulated programs, disinfection 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.
