Ansell AlphaTec® 56-801 Endurosaf™ Polyurethane Apron (Yellow) — 8–9 mil Enduro2000™, Die-Cut PU Film, Sealed Ties + Adjustable Neck Strap, Bib Style (34" x 45" or 34" x 50")
Polyurethane (Enduro2000™) 8–9 mil Abrasion / tear / puncture resistance (published) Sealed ties + adjustable neck buckle Easy to clean / cold-temp flexible (published) Case unit: 28 aprons (SOS listing)

Overview

AlphaTec® 56-801 Endurosaf™ aprons are built for wet, greasy, and chemical-handling work where splash, abrasion, and repeated wipe-downs are part of the process. Ansell describes the 8–9 mil die-cut Enduro2000™ polyurethane film as strong and tough, offering a performance combination intended to outperform neoprene, nitrile, vinyl, and other films in demanding use cases.

SOSCleanroom partners closely with best-in-class manufacturers like Ansell because critical environments cannot afford “close enough” PPE. That relationship supports correct specification selection, access to manufacturer documentation, and more consistent supply planning for customers running high-uptime operations.


Why this apron matters in wet/chemical workflows
  • Protection where oil, grease, and chemicals are present: designed to help keep workers clean and reduce harmful contact during messy processes.
  • Durability that holds up to real work: polyurethane construction is described as exceptionally resistant to abrasion, chemicals, oils, and fats, while maintaining tear/puncture resistance.
  • Fit stability you can standardize: dielectrically sealed neck and waist straps resist tear-out; adjustable neck strap uses a non-corrosive, non-absorbent plastic buckle for comfort and consistency.
  • Cleanability + cold-temp flexibility: soft, comfortable film that is easy to clean and remains flexible in cold temperatures (published).

Typical tasks supported (published examples)
  • Plant disinfection and sanitization
  • Transferring liquids
  • Equipment maintenance and repair
  • Canning, bottling, storing, and transportation
  • Food processing tasks (e.g., packing fillets and ground meat)

Packaging and handling (practical)
  • Use a dedicated dispensing area to keep apron storage clean and reduce cross-contamination into production spaces.
  • Inspect strap welds and the buckle function before use; remove damaged aprons from service immediately.
  • For sanitation routines, follow your chemical program’s compatibility rules and contact times; avoid practices that drive liquid behind the apron boundary (e.g., over-wetting at the neckline).

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat garment systems as part of the facility’s Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). This AlphaTec® apron is a chemical/soil control layer—it is not positioned as a sterile cleanroom garment. If used in regulated areas, its use should be risk-assessed, justified, and controlled within your CCS/SOPs.

  • Define the boundary: use aprons for wet/chemical tasks in support areas or lower-grade zones unless your CCS explicitly validates use in higher-grade areas.
  • Cleaning discipline: validate wipe-down chemistry and technique so residues and run-off do not create secondary contamination.
  • Change triggers: establish replacement triggers (chemical splash event, tears/punctures, uncontrolled contact, end-of-shift, etc.) and document training.

Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store clean, dry, and protected from physical damage (creases, punctures, cuts).
  • Separate from aggressive chemicals and solvents unless your program requires co-location (and then control secondary containment).
  • Use FIFO and lot control per your quality and safety program.

Where an industrial chemical apron fits (and where it does not)

AlphaTec® 56-801 is a protective outer layer intended for wet, oily, and chemical-contact work. In practice, aprons like this are used to protect the underlying garment system, reduce laundering burden, and reduce operator exposure risk during liquid transfers, sanitation, and maintenance.

Boundary rule

If your process requires a validated sterile garment system (e.g., Annex 1 Grade A/B aseptic operations), an industrial apron is not a substitute. Use aprons only where your CCS/SOPs justify and control the risk.


Specification checklist (how to buy the right apron)
  • Dimension selection: choose 34" x 45" vs. 34" x 50" based on splash zone (bench height, vessel height, and operator posture).
  • Film thickness: 8–9 mil is positioned for higher durability where abrasion and snag risk exist.
  • Strap design: sealed ties and adjustable neck strap reduce slip, reduce tear-out risk, and simplify cleaning.
  • Chemical reality check: “chemical resistant” is not universal. Confirm compatibility for your specific chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and exposure duration.

Donning and doffing discipline (to prevent cross-contamination)
  1. Don last: put the apron on after base garments/gloves so the outer layer remains the “dirty boundary.”
  2. Set the neck strap first: adjust for coverage without pulling the bib into the throat area.
  3. Secure waist ties flat: avoid loops that can catch valves, handles, or cart edges.
  4. Doff with controlled peel-away: untie waist first; peel away from the body; avoid snapping or whipping motion that can aerosolize residues.
  5. Immediate change triggers: puncture/tear, strap weld damage, significant 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 waist ties and behind the apron boundary.
  • Use the right wiper: low-lint, durable cleanroom wipers reduce fiber transfer and hold up during repeated wipe-down cycles.
  • Validate chemistry + contact time: in regulated programs, don’t assume a disinfectant is effective without documented contact time and surface compatibility.
Recommended Texwipe pairings (reduce residue and transfer risk)

Build a system: apron + gloves + process controls

Aprons protect the torso, but chemical tasks fail at the interfaces: wrists, sleeves, necklines, and glove overlap. Treat the apron as one layer in a risk-based PPE system. For chemical handling, many facilities pair AlphaTec® aprons with AlphaTec® chemical gloves selected for the specific chemical set and exposure profile.

Best-practice control points
  • Overlap control: ensure sleeve-to-glove overlap to prevent run-off into cuffs.
  • Work practice: don’t carry open containers close to the torso; use carts and secondary containment.
  • Incident response: define what constitutes a “splash event” and the mandatory change-out actions.
