What it is

Kimtech™ 10072 is an A8 Certified disposable lab coat built on a 3-layer SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) nonwoven barrier platform. Designed for laboratory and light industrial environments where the anticipated exposure is low-to-moderate for chemicals or fluids. The mid-calf length provides extended torso and lower-body coverage compared to hip-length jacket formats — the right selection when the risk assessment requires more coverage area without stepping up to a full coverall.

Construction & design
Material 3-layer SMS nonwoven (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond)
Size / fit Large (unisex)
Length Mid-calf
Front closure 6-snap
Cuffs Elastic knit — maintains sleeve position at the glove interface
Back vent Yes — supports airflow during extended wear
Pockets 3 reinforced
Neck loop Yes
Pack configuration 25 lab coats/case
Performance intent

Designed for general laboratory PPE in research, QA/QC, pharmaceutical support areas, and industrial lab settings. Mid-calf length extends protection to the lower leg versus hip-length jacket formats. Knit cuffs reduce sleeve migration and wrist exposure during overhead and lateral movement. The 6-snap front and elastic knit cuff together define the garment's controlled-interface intent — both must be used correctly per SOP for the barrier to perform as positioned.

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.

Kimtech™ 10072 A8 Lab Coat (Large): mid-calf SMS coverage for lab and industrial PPE programs

The Kimtech™ 10072 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 mid-calf length increases lower torso and upper leg coverage compared to hip-length jacket formats — the right selection when the risk assessment requires more coverage area without stepping up to a full coverall.

Elastic knit cuffs maintain sleeve position at the glove interface, a 6-snap front closure runs the full garment length, and a back vent supports airflow during extended wear. Three reinforced pockets and an integrated neck loop support active bench and production environments.

Operations takeaway: Coverage failures on disposable lab coats typically occur at two points — the wrist gap and the front opening. Standardize the glove-over-cuff interface and all-snaps-closed rule in your SOP, and train to both.

Corporate transition: Kimberly-Clark PPE → Ansell

Intended use cases
  • Routine bench work, sample handling, and general lab operations requiring torso and sleeve protection
  • Environments where mid-calf coverage is required by risk assessment versus hip-length jacket formats
  • Workflows where knit cuffs improve glove interface control and reduce sleeve migration
  • Extended-wear settings where back vent reduces heat buildup during long shifts
  • Light industrial settings where low-to-moderate splash or fluid contact is the anticipated hazard
Length selection guide: Choose mid-calf (10072) when lower-body coverage is required by your risk assessment. Choose a hip-length jacket (10069) when mobility is the priority and the risk assessment permits reduced coverage area.

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. 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.
  4. Don/doff per procedure: Avoid touching the garment exterior with ungloved or contaminated hands during removal. Define a doffing sequence and train to it.
  5. Use the neck loop: When temporarily removed at the workstation, hang via the neck loop to avoid exterior surface contact with bench tops, chairs, or floors.
  6. 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: If protection outcomes vary by operator, close the gap with four written controls: size selection criteria, all-snaps-closed rule, glove-over-cuff requirement, and documented change-out triggers.

When Kimtech 10072 is not the right choice
  • Sterile or aseptic workflows requiring sterile garments: 10072 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 10072 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™ 10072 from SOSCleanroom
  • Exact SKU + case configuration control: Ordering by part number 10072 and confirmed case pack (25/case) reduces the risk of receiving a non-equivalent substitute garment.
