Overview

AlphaTec® 3000 Model 406 overboots are designed to add a protective barrier over existing footwear when lower-leg and shoe-area exposure is likely during chemical handling, washdown, transfer, or cleanup work. The manufacturer describes a protective multi-layer nonwoven barrier laminate paired with ultrasonically welded and taped seams to help reduce strike-through at the seam line.

Ansell is a best-in-class PPE manufacturer, and SOSCleanroom maintains a close working relationship with Ansell so customers can standardize specifications, reduce substitution risk, and keep safety programs consistent across shifts and sites.


Why overboots matter for worker safety
  • Controls floor-level exposure: Splashes and run-off often travel downward and pool; overboots help reduce contact at the footwear boundary.
  • Seam integrity focus: Welded-and-taped construction is used to reduce leakage pathways at stitched seam lines.
  • Visibility supports prevention: High-visibility yellow improves awareness in low-light or high-traffic areas.
  • Program consistency: Standardizing protective footwear reduces “mix-and-match” PPE behavior that can create weak points during real work.

Typical tasks supported (published examples)
  • Unexpected leakages, spills, or releases
  • Product inspection
  • Cleaning of plant and machines
  • Transferring liquids and solids between vessels, tanks, and process equipment
  • Opening and draining pumps, valves, or lines
  • Loading and unloading trucks and vehicles
  • Filling, blending, charging, mixing, or loading chemicals

Selection note: chemical test data is typically generated on fabric and may not represent every seam/closure condition; confirm your PPE ensemble using the task hazard assessment and SDS details (chemical, concentration, temperature, and contact duration).


Packaging and handling

This item is sold by the case. Case quantity varies by size: 150 pairs (size 8–12) or 100 pairs (size 12–14). Stage overboots near the point of use so workers do not delay PPE during spill response or wet-process transitions.

Replace overboots if torn, punctured, heavily contaminated, or after a significant splash event per your facility SOP.


Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in original packaging in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Inspect before use (seams, taped areas, and toe/heel wear points).
  • Use FIFO and track expiration where required by your safety program.

The Technical Vault By SOSCleanroom
PPE Program Article Chemical Splash Readiness Floor-Level Exposure Control Model 406 (Y30T406)

The exposure people underestimate: what hits the floor

In wet-process work, chemical handling, and sanitation, exposure is frequently a “downward problem.” Liquids splash, run-off travels, and residue accumulates around ankles and footwear. When that happens, standard shoes become a contamination and exposure pathway: workers track residues into adjacent areas, and skin contact risk increases during movement and doffing.


Why seam construction matters (and why welded & taped is used)

PPE performance is rarely limited by the fabric alone. It is often limited by “interfaces”—seams, joins, and movement points. The AlphaTec® 3000 Model 406 overboots are specified with an ultrasonically welded and taped seam design, which is commonly selected to reduce leakage pathways at stitched seam lines and to provide greater confidence when splashes or run-off contact the seam area.

Practical control

Chemical test data is often generated on fabric and may not represent every seam/closure condition. Supervisors should align PPE choices with SDS details (chemical, concentration, temperature, and contact duration) and define clear replacement triggers.


How to deploy overboots correctly (training-ready)
  • Donning: Put overboots on before wet handling begins—not after the first splash. Confirm full coverage and secure fit over the underlying footwear.
  • Walk path control: Keep “wet zones” and “dry zones” defined. Floor-level residue tracking is one of the most common secondary transfer risks.
  • Change triggers: Replace immediately if torn, punctured, heavily contaminated, or after a significant splash event per SOP.
  • Doffing discipline: Treat the exterior as contaminated. Remove by avoiding contact with the outer surface, then perform hand hygiene per your safety program.
  • Slip/trip awareness: Overboots add a layer—ensure your floor conditions, mats, and movement practices are compatible with the task.

The PPE ensemble approach (overboots are not standalone)

Overboots protect the footwear and lower-leg interface. They do not replace chemical-resistant gloves or eye/face protection. The most effective programs standardize “task kits” so workers do not have to improvise PPE selection under time pressure.

Example task kit (concept)
  • Lower-body: AlphaTec® 3000 Model 406 overboots
  • Hands: Chemical-specific gloves selected via SDS and task hazard assessment (Ansell AlphaTec® portfolio)
  • Eyes/face: Safety glasses/goggles + face shield where splash potential exists
  • Body: Add an apron, smock, or coverall platform when torso/arm exposure is credible

Why SOSCleanroom emphasizes best-in-class Ansell PPE

Safety outcomes improve when PPE is consistent: workers recognize it, supervisors can audit it, and purchasing can keep it available without substitutions. SOSCleanroom works closely with Ansell to support specification standardization, documentation access, and stable replenishment planning.
