Ansell BDCHT BioClean-D™ Non-Sterile Coverall with Hood — Class 10 (ISO 4) Cleanroom Coverall

Ansell BioClean-D™ BDCHT is a non-sterile, low-linting, antistatic cleanroom coverall with hood designed for controlled environments where particle control, secure fit, and consistent garment handling matter. Built from CleanTough™ polyethylene / polypropylene laminate, BDCHT supports product and process protection while also providing Type 5/6 protective garment performance (fine dry particles and limited liquid splashes/sprays) when used as part of a compatible PPE system and facility SOP.

Cleanroom handling note: Fit and donning discipline drive results. Selecting the correct size and fully sealing closures (zip cover + joins per SOP) is often as important as the garment material itself.

About the Manufacturer:

BioClean-D™ garments are designed for contamination-control programs that need dependable, single-use cleanroom apparel with documented performance. BDCHT emphasizes low-linting behavior, secure closure design, and fit features that reduce common gowning failures (sleeve ride-up, zipper gaps, and inconsistent sealing).

For regulated environments, align garment selection to your cleanroom classification, process risk, and internal acceptance criteria. Always rely on the manufacturer Product Data Sheet (PDS), IFU, and declarations as the authoritative basis.

BDCHT Features:

Hood + protected zip closure: Front zip with sealable cover and protective flap to reduce leakage paths
CleanTough™ laminate: Lightweight, low-linting fabric construction for cleanroom safety
Secure-fit details: Elasticated hood/back/cuffs/ankles plus thumb loops to keep sleeves controlled
Bound seams: Designed to help reduce contaminant leakage through seam lines
Antistatic performance: Manufacturer references EN 1149-5 performance for static-sensitive areas (grounding practices still required)

BDCHT Benefits:

Cleaner gowning outcomes: Fit + closure architecture reduces common “gap points” (zip area, wrists, ankles) when donned correctly
Lower lint contribution: Supports particle-control expectations in Class 10 / ISO 4 controlled environments
Process consistency: Single-use format simplifies garment lifecycle control (no laundering variables)
Broader PPE integration: Type 5/6 garment performance supports programs that also track particulate and limited splash/spray risks (process-dependent)

Common Applications:

Cleanroom cleaning and preparation
Medical device manufacturing
Biotechnology blending operations
Pharmaceutical manufacturing support tasks (non-sterile garment; align to area grade/SOP)
Powder handling, compounding, and material synthesis (process-dependent)
Laboratory and research controlled environments

Best-Practice Use (Gowning Discipline):

Select correct size: Oversizing increases snag/touch risk; undersizing increases seam stress and closure gaps.
Don in a controlled gowning sequence: Follow your facility ISO-class entry SOP; keep movements slow and deliberate.
Zip fully + seal the zip cover: Manufacturer IFU guidance for Type 5/6 garments commonly includes fully zipping and sealing the zip cover.
Control joins: Where your SOP requires it, tape glove-to-sleeve and other interfaces to cover gaps and reduce particle escape paths.
Do not reuse: Treat single-use coveralls as single-entry unless your SOP explicitly allows otherwise.
Doff carefully: Remove to avoid shaking particles; turn inside-out to trap contamination during disposal.

Helpful pairing: Many teams keep Texwipe cleanroom wipers available at gowning and staging points for routine wipe-downs of carts, handles, and non-critical exterior surfaces. For precision cleaning of fixtures and hard-to-reach areas, consider Texwipe cleanroom swabs as part of your contamination-control toolkit.

Selection Notes (BDCHT vs. Similar Options):

Non-sterile vs. sterile: Choose sterile variants (e.g., S-BDCHT) when your SOP requires sterilized packaging/documentation for higher-grade areas.
With hood vs. hood + integrated boots: Select integrated-boot styles when your program wants fewer interface gaps between legs and footwear.
ISO 4 garment choice is SOP-driven: ISO class is only one input; align to your process, airflow pattern, intervention frequency, and contamination risk profile.

BDCHT Coverall + Hood Class 10 / ISO 4 Non-Sterile CleanTough™ PE/PP Laminate Antistatic EN 1149-5 15–20/Case (size-dependent)

Ansell BioClean-D™ BDCHT — ISO 4 garment performance depends on material and gowning discipline

Ansell BDCHT BioClean-D Non-Sterile Coverall with Hood Class 10 (ISO 4)

SKU shown: BDCHT (BioClean-D™ non-sterile coverall with hood).

ISO first: what “ISO 4” really implies for garments

ISO cleanroom classification is defined by airborne particle concentration limits (ISO 14644-1). In day-to-day operations, meeting ISO 4 expectations is not achieved by “buying an ISO 4 garment” alone. It is achieved by an operations control program that manages people, entry/exit, gowning behavior, cleaning, and monitoring (ISO 14644-5). BDCHT is positioned as a low-linting, antistatic, cleanroom coverall option that can support ISO 4 programs when used correctly within your SOP.

What BDCHT is — manufacturer-defined intent

BioClean-D™ BDCHT is a non-sterile antistatic coverall with hood manufactured from Ansell’s CleanTough™ laminate (polyethylene film outer layer / non-woven polypropylene inner layer). The garment includes a front zipper with a sealable cover and protective flap, plus elasticated hood, back, cuffs, and ankles, with thumb loops to improve sleeve control.

Why ISO 4 gowning fails (and how to prevent it)

Rushed donning: fast movements shed particles; slow down and follow a consistent sequence.
Unsealed closures: zipper gaps and unsealed zip covers become direct leakage paths.
Interface gaps: wrist/ankle joins fail if glove-to-sleeve and other interfaces aren’t controlled per SOP.
Wrong size: too small stresses seams; too large increases snag/touch contamination.
Poor doffing: shaking garments during removal aerosolizes particles; remove slowly and contain contamination.

Materials and fabric construction (CleanTough™)

CleanTough™ is described as a polyethylene / polypropylene laminate: polyethylene film outer layer with a non-woven polypropylene inner layer. Fabric data sheets commonly reference antistatic performance (EN 1149-5) and publish repellence/penetration results for selected chemicals under standardized test methods.

Important: laboratory fabric performance is not the same as “system performance.” Seams, closures, and interfaces are often the limiting factor, which is why manufacturer PDS and IFU guidance emphasizes correct closure sealing and controlling joins.

Donning (gowning) guidance — practical, SOP-aligned steps

A cleanroom gowning sequence that reduces contamination

Pre-gowning controls: remove jewelry; secure personal items; complete hand hygiene; ensure you are within health/hygiene requirements.
Don from “clean to cleaner”: follow your facility airlock sequence; avoid backtracking and avoid touching non-controlled surfaces.
Put on the coverall carefully: avoid snapping the garment. Keep hands inside the suit as much as possible until gloves are on.
Zip fully and seal the zip cover: manufacturer IFU for Type 5/6 garments commonly instructs fully zipping, locking the zipper, then sealing the zip cover so the zipper is fully covered.
Control interfaces: where required, tape glove-to-sleeve and other joins to cover gaps (manufacturer Type 5/6 testing references taped interfaces).
Doff by containment: remove slowly; turn inside out to trap contamination and dispose per site rules (single-use garment).

ISO 14644-5 focuses on establishing an operations control program that governs personnel practices (including gowning), movement, cleaning, and monitoring. For European sterile medicinal product manufacturing, EU GMP Annex 1 adds a deeper regulatory layer: contamination control strategy (CCS), cleanroom change-room discipline, and documented personnel training/qualification with explicit attention to gowning. If you operate under Annex 1 expectations, treat gowning as a validated contamination-control control point, not a routine clothing change.

Selection & fit considerations

Fit drives performance: choose size using manufacturer charts; prevent wrist/ankle ride-up and zipper stress.
Non-sterile vs sterile: non-sterile coveralls can be appropriate for many controlled environments; sterile areas often require sterile packaged garments and sterile transfer controls.
Boot interfaces matter: consider integrated-boot designs when you want fewer interface gaps at the ankle/footwear junction.
Material compatibility: confirm chemical compatibility and duration of exposure using manufacturer references before relying on fabric test data.

SOSCleanroom note about SOP's

The Technical Vault is written to help customers make informed contamination-control decisions and improve day-to-day handling technique. It is not your facility’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), batch record, or validation protocol.

Customers are responsible for establishing, training, and enforcing SOPs that fit their specific risks, cleanroom classification, product exposure, and regulatory obligations. Always confirm material compatibility, cleanliness suitability, and acceptance criteria using your internal quality system and documented methods.

If you adapt any guidance from this entry, treat it as a starting template. Your team should review and approve the final method, then qualify it for your specific workflows and risk profile.
