What it is

Kimtech™ 39372 PURE A8 Shoe Covers are disposable, cleanroom-compatible footwear covers designed to reduce particulate transfer from shoes into controlled environments. Built from low-lint nonwoven material with an elasticized ankle opening for consistent retention, they function as the footwear barrier layer within gowning programs for laboratory, pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing environments. White construction supports visual contamination detection during use and at change-out.

Performance intent

Designed to reduce particulate migration from footwear into cleanroom and controlled-environment floor areas. Functions as a disposable barrier layer integrated into gowning SOPs — covering the shoe exterior before entry and removed as part of the doffing sequence at exit. Suitable for ISO-classified production spaces and contamination-controlled environments; confirm suitability to your specific classification and gowning protocol before standardizing.

Use boundary: Shoe covers reduce particulate transfer from footwear — they are not a substitute for dedicated cleanroom footwear in environments where footwear particle contribution is a primary contamination control point. Confirm your gowning SOP defines the correct footwear strategy for your ISO class.
Brand note: The Kimtech™ PPE business was acquired by Ansell from Kimberly-Clark's KCPPE division. Part numbers and configurations remain aligned with manufacturer documentation under Ansell stewardship. For validated cleanroom programs, always reference the current technical data sheet for this SKU.

Kimtech™ PURE A8 Low-Lint Nonwoven Elastic Ankle Footwear Contamination Control Disposable Barrier Large / X-Large
Kimtech™ 39372 PURE A8 Shoe Covers (L/XL): footwear as a primary contamination vector in controlled environments

Footwear is one of the highest-risk particulate transport pathways into ISO-classified spaces. Shoe soles collect environmental debris from floors, parking areas, and uncontrolled corridors, then redistribute those particles across clean zones with every step. The Kimtech™ 39372 PURE A8 Shoe Cover provides a disposable low-lint nonwoven outer barrier over standard footwear, designed to reduce that transfer when donned at the gowning boundary and integrated into a documented change-out protocol.

An elasticized ankle opening provides consistent retention across a Large/X-Large shoe size range. White construction supports visual contamination detection during use and at defined change-out points.

Operations takeaway: Shoe covers are only effective when donned before crossing the controlled boundary and replaced at defined contamination triggers. A cover applied after entering the clean zone provides no meaningful floor contamination control.

Use boundary: Shoe covers reduce particulate transfer from footwear — they are not a substitute for dedicated cleanroom footwear in environments where footwear particle contribution is a primary contamination control point. They also do not replace floor cleaning programs or air control systems — they support them. Confirm your gowning SOP defines the correct footwear strategy for your ISO class.
ISO 14644 operations context

ISO 14644-5:2025 operations control programs address personnel practices and material transfer as part of a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP). Footwear coverings function within that framework to support floor cleanliness and reduce airborne particulate resuspension from floor-level disturbance. Selection should be aligned to your ISO classification, gowning room design, traffic patterns, and defined change-out frequency.

System perspective: Shoe covers are one layer of a floor contamination control strategy — not a standalone solution. Their effectiveness depends on gowning boundary discipline, correct don sequence, and defined replacement triggers.
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 configurations remain aligned with published manufacturer documentation. For validated cleanroom programs, always reference current technical data under Ansell stewardship.

Intended use cases
  • Gowning programs for ISO-classified cleanrooms where footwear is a defined contamination control point
  • Pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing environments requiring disposable footwear barriers
  • Anteroom and gowning room entry protocols where shoe covers are donned before crossing the controlled boundary
  • Visitor and temporary personnel gowning where dedicated cleanroom footwear is not available or practical
  • Over-shoe protection during maintenance, inspection, or non-routine access events
Best-practice use
  1. Don before crossing the boundary: Shoe covers must be applied before stepping into the controlled zone — not after. Define the exact donning point in your gowning SOP and mark it physically in the gowning room.
  2. Seat the elastic fully: Confirm the elasticized opening encloses the full shoe perimeter and ankle. A partially seated cover can slip, expose the shoe sole, and defeat the barrier intent.
  3. Don in sequence: In full gowning programs, shoe covers are typically donned before standing from the gowning bench — confirm your SOP don sequence and train to it.
  4. Change-out triggers: Replace immediately if torn, fluid-wet, visibly soiled, or after exiting the controlled zone. Do not re-enter with a previously worn cover.
  5. Dispose immediately: Remove and discard used covers at the doffing point per your facility waste SOP. Do not carry used covers back into clean areas.
SOP standardization tip: Most shoe cover failures are donning sequence failures — covers applied too late, seated incompletely, or reused after zone exit. Lock three variables in the written procedure: exact donning point, elastic-seated confirmation step, and single-use rule.
When 39372 shoe covers are not the right choice
  • Environments requiring dedicated cleanroom footwear: In ISO Class 5 and cleaner environments, dedicated cleanroom shoes or boots with validated particle performance are typically required — shoe covers over street shoes are not an equivalent control.
  • Fluid or chemical splash hazard on floors: Low-lint nonwoven shoe covers are not chemical-resistant footwear PPE. Specify appropriate chemical-resistant boot covers for floor-level chemical exposure.
  • Anti-static or ESD-controlled environments: Confirm ESD suitability of the cover material before use in ESD-sensitive environments — standard nonwoven shoe covers are not inherently ESD-safe.
  • Reuse after zone exit: These are single-use disposable covers. Do not launder, dry, or reuse after any wear event.
Why source Kimtech™ 39372 from SOSCleanroom
  • Exact SKU control: Ordering by part number 39372 reduces the risk of receiving a non-equivalent substitute cover that differs in material, fit, or PURE A8 certification status.
  • 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 and lot continuity records to support receiving qualification and audit evidence packages.
  • Consolidated procurement: Pair shoe covers with Kimtech™ lab coats, Ansell cleanroom gloves, Texwipe wipers, and other gowning and facility consumables in a single order.
