What it is

Kimtech™ 10022 is an A8 Certified disposable lab coat built on a 3-layer SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) nonwoven barrier platform for laboratory and light industrial environments where the anticipated exposure is low-to-moderate for chemicals or fluids. Compared to the standard A8 lab coat, the 10022 adds a knit collar alongside elastic knit cuffs — closing the neckline gap and reducing exposure variability at both ends of the sleeve. The mid-calf length provides extended torso and lower-body coverage versus hip-length jacket formats.

Performance intent

Designed for general laboratory PPE in research, QA/QC, pharmaceutical support areas, and industrial lab settings. Mid-calf length extends lower-body protection versus hip-length jacket formats. The knit collar reduces neckline exposure variability — a gap point on standard lab coats that rely on collar fit alone. Knit cuffs reduce sleeve migration and wrist exposure during overhead and lateral movement. The 6-snap front, knit cuffs, and knit collar together define the garment's three controlled-interface points — all must be used correctly per SOP.

Hazard boundary: This garment is positioned for low-to-moderate chemical and fluid exposure. It is not a substitute for task-validated chemical splash PPE. Specify PPE per your EHS hazard assessment for higher-exposure tasks.
Brand note: The Kimtech™ PPE business was acquired by Ansell from Kimberly-Clark's KCPPE division. Part numbers and specifications remain aligned with manufacturer documentation under Ansell stewardship.

Kimtech™ 10022 A8 Lab Coat with Knit Cuffs & Collar (Large): closing the wrist and neckline gap in lab PPE programs

The Kimtech™ 10022 is an A8 Certified disposable lab coat built on a 3-layer SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) nonwoven barrier platform for laboratory and light industrial environments where the anticipated exposure is low-to-moderate for chemicals or fluids. The 10022 adds a knit collar to the standard A8 lab coat configuration — addressing the neckline gap that open-collar garments leave exposed — while retaining elastic knit cuffs for controlled sleeve position at the glove interface.

The mid-calf length extends lower torso and upper leg coverage beyond hip-length jacket formats. A 6-snap front closure, back vent, three reinforced pockets, and integrated neck loop complete the design for active bench and production environments.

Operations takeaway: The 10022 controls three common exposure gap points — wrist, neckline, and front opening. All three require procedural discipline to deliver their protective intent: glove-over-cuff, collar seated correctly, and all 6 snaps closed during active work.

10022 vs. standard A8 lab coat: when to specify the knit collar configuration

The standard Kimtech™ A8 lab coat (10071 Medium, 10072 Large) uses an open collar with snap closure only. The 10022 replaces the open collar with a fitted knit collar, which seats more consistently against the neck and reduces the gap that can form during movement, leaning, or reaching. Specify the 10022 when your risk assessment or SOP identifies neckline exposure as a control point — particularly in splash-adjacent tasks, mist environments, or protocols where upper-torso coverage consistency is audited.

Corporate transition: Kimberly-Clark PPE → Ansell

The Kimtech™ and KleenGuard™ PPE portfolio was acquired by Ansell from Kimberly-Clark's KCPPE division. Product part numbers and specifications remain aligned with published manufacturer documentation. For regulated or audit-controlled environments, always reference current technical data under Ansell stewardship.


Intended use cases
  • Routine bench work, sample handling, and general lab operations where torso, sleeve, and neckline protection are required
  • Environments where neckline exposure is a defined control point in the risk assessment or SOP
  • Workflows where knit cuffs and knit collar together reduce exposure variability at both interface points
  • Extended-wear settings where back vent reduces heat buildup during long shifts
  • Light industrial and pharmaceutical support settings where low-to-moderate splash or fluid contact is the anticipated hazard
Configuration selection guide: Choose 10022 (knit cuffs + knit collar) when neckline coverage consistency is a protocol requirement. Choose 10071/10072 (knit cuffs, open collar) when neckline exposure is not a defined control point and collar comfort is the priority.

Best-practice use
  1. Size for full closure: Confirm the snap front closes without tension across the full length and sleeves maintain coverage during reaching and overhead work.
  2. Close all 6 snaps: All snaps from collar to hem must be engaged during any task where the garment's barrier is relied upon.
  3. Seat the knit collar correctly: The collar should sit flat and consistently against the neck — not folded down or pulled out of position — before beginning work.
  4. Glove-over-cuff rule: Pull gloves over knit cuffs per SOP. This is the primary wrist-exposure control — confirm it is written, trained, and observed.
  5. Don/doff per procedure: Avoid touching the garment exterior with ungloved or contaminated hands during removal. Define a doffing sequence and train to it.
  6. Use the neck loop: When temporarily removed, hang via the neck loop to avoid exterior surface contact with bench tops, chairs, or floors.
  7. Change-out triggers: Replace immediately if torn, visibly soiled, fluid-wet, or after any spill or splash event. Define trigger points in the SOP.
SOP standardization tip: The 10022 has three controlled interface points versus two on a standard lab coat. Lock five variables in the written procedure: size selection criteria, all-snaps-closed rule, collar-seated rule, glove-over-cuff requirement, and documented change-out triggers.

When Kimtech 10022 is not the right choice
  • Sterile or aseptic workflows requiring sterile garments: 10022 is non-sterile. Specify the garment class required by your protocol and applicable standard.
  • High-splash or chemical permeation-hazard tasks: Specify PPE validated for the hazard per your EHS assessment.
  • Environments where pockets are contamination-control risks: Choose a no-pocket garment configuration when pocket-as-contamination-trap risk is unacceptable.
  • Full lower-body coverage required: Select a coverall when the hazard boundary extends below mid-calf.
  • Reuse after soiling or fluid contact: This is a single-use disposable garment. Do not launder or reuse after any compromise event.

Recommended glove pairing (process-aligned)

Lab coats and gloves function as a system. The knit cuff on the 10022 is only effective as a wrist-exposure control when paired with a glove that is consistently pulled over it per procedure. Select a glove appropriate for your chemical and contamination risk, then standardize the interface.

Glove interface rule: Knit cuffs control sleeve position — the glove is the actual wrist barrier. If gloves are loose, torn, or contaminated, knit-cuff coverage provides no additional protection. Treat glove integrity as a first-order control during all operations.

Why source Kimtech™ 10022 from SOSCleanroom
  • Exact SKU + case configuration control: Ordering by part number 10022 and confirmed case pack (25/case) reduces the risk of receiving a non-equivalent substitute garment that lacks the knit collar feature.
  • Brand continuity after acquisition: Kimtech™ PPE is now under Ansell. SOSCleanroom sources the current product line under the correct successor SKUs, reducing procurement confusion during the brand transition.
  • Audit-readiness support: We help customers locate current TDS documentation, certification records, and lot continuity information to support receiving qualification and audit evidence packages.
  • Consolidated procurement: Pair garments with Ansell cleanroom gloves, Texwipe wipers, IPA, and other facility consumables in a single order.
