Overview

AlphaTec® 56-903 is a PVC (vinyl) coat-style apron designed for wet-process environments where workers face routine splash, spray, drips, and incidental contact from oils, greases, and chemicals. The coat format provides broader coverage than a standard bib apron, and the elasticized cuffs help reduce sleeve ride-up and wrist-area run-down during wash-down, sanitation, and transfer work.

SOSCleanroom recommends Ansell as a best-in-class PPE manufacturer because safety programs depend on consistency: standardized specs, dependable documentation, and predictable performance. Our close relationship with Ansell helps customers avoid “spec drift,” reduce substitution risk, and keep PPE training aligned across teams.

Why this coat apron matters for safety

Better body coverage: coat-apron design helps protect more of the torso and arms during splash-prone tasks.
Comfortable, practical barrier: 6 mil PVC is designed to balance flexibility with splash protection for longer wear time.
Reduced corrosion concerns: no exposed metal parts; snaps are plastic construction (published).
Cleaner design intent: no sewn seams (published), supporting easier wipe-down and reducing places where soils can lodge.

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)

Chemical splash protection is chemistry-specific. Confirm compatibility for your exact chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and exposure duration using SDS guidance and your site hazard assessment. Eye/face protection and properly selected chemical-resistant gloves are often required in addition to aprons.

Packaging and handling

Shipped as a case of 12, with individual bagging (published) to support clean staging and reduce damage before first use.

Inspect before use and remove from service if torn, punctured, stiffened, or if tie/snaps are damaged or stressed.

Storage and lifecycle control

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve PVC flexibility.
Avoid sharp edges during storage and staging to prevent micro-cuts.
Define and train “change triggers” (splash event, uncontrolled contact, cuts/tears, end-of-task/shift per SOP).

Documentation

Use manufacturer documentation alongside your hazard assessment to support PPE selection, training, and safe-work procedures.

PPE Safety Article Routine Splash Control Wash-Down / Sanitation Tasks Training & Standard Work

Most exposure events are not “big spills”

In real operations, the exposure pathway is usually routine: hose overspray, drip lines, wipe-down run-off, splash during pouring, and incidental contact against wet equipment or containers. Those small events add up—wet garments, skin irritation, rework, and unsafe shortcuts when operators try to “push through.” A coat-style apron is a practical control because it reduces direct contact at the torso while adding sleeve coverage for tasks that routinely wet forearms and wrists.

Why “coat apron” coverage changes outcomes

Bib aprons protect the front torso. Coat aprons extend that concept by adding more body coverage and sleeve control, which matters when workers reach into sinks, tanks, tote wash stations, or wet equipment. AlphaTec® 56-903 adds elasticized cuffs to reduce sleeve ride-up and help limit wrist-area run-down during spraying and scrubbing.

Operational takeaway

If your work routinely wets forearms and the front of the body, moving from a bib apron to a coat apron is often the simplest upgrade that measurably reduces exposure.

Design details that support safety programs

6 mil PVC balance: designed to provide splash protection while staying flexible for long wear time.
No sewn seams: supports wipe-down and reduces places where soils can lodge (published).
No exposed metal parts: helps avoid corrosion points in wet environments; snaps are plastic construction (published).
Fit consistency: four snap-on ties are intended to support a repeatable fit across sizes (published).

Why SOSCleanroom emphasizes best-in-class Ansell PPE

PPE programs fail when the “same apron” silently becomes three different aprons over time due to substitutions. Ansell is best-in-class because their specs, documentation, and design intent are consistent. SOSCleanroom’s close relationship with Ansell helps customers reduce spec drift and keep training, hazard assessments, and purchasing aligned to the same baseline.

Donning/doffing discipline: treat the apron exterior as contaminated

Cross-contact often happens after the task, when gloves touch the apron front and then touch controls, handles, or doors. Train teams to treat the apron exterior as a contaminated surface during use and removal.

Inspect before use: confirm no cuts/tears; check cuffs and snaps/ties for damage.
Secure ties: avoid dangling ties (snag risk + contact transfer).
Doff slowly: untie without snapping; roll contaminated surfaces inward.
Glove logic: if gloves contact apron exterior during removal, change gloves per SOP before touching clean controls.
