Kimberly-Clark Kimtech™ (51936) A8 Zipper Lab Coat (White) — 3XL/4XL, Non-Sterile, 3-Layer SMS, Knit Cuffs, Mandarin Collar (20/Case)
Non-Sterile A8 — Light Fluid Contact 3-Layer SMS Zipper Closure Knit Cuffs Mandarin Collar Silicone-Free Latex-Free EN 13034 Type 6 (Limited Splash) EN 1149-5 (Antistatic)
Overview

Kimtech™ A8 Zipper Lab Coats are purpose-built for controlled laboratory and cleanroom support workflows where comfort, particulate discipline, and protection from light fluid contact must be balanced at the operator interface. This (51936) configuration is a 3XL/4XL, white, non-sterile lab coat made from a breathable 3-layer SMS fabric with a high mandarin collar, soft knit cuffs, and a zipper front to minimize open-front gaps during movement.

SOSCleanroom stocks best-in-class cleanroom apparel and PPE because critical environments cannot afford “close enough.” When your gowning program is consistent, your contamination controls are easier to train, audit, and defend.

Why this lab coat matters in critical environments
  • Operator barrier where it counts: Breathable, 3-layer SMS construction is designed to support particle control with protection for light fluid contact.
  • Cleaner closure strategy: A full zipper helps reduce open-front exposure points versus loose or partially closed fronts; the mandarin collar improves neck coverage.
  • Improved glove-to-sleeve interface: Soft knit cuffs help sleeves stay seated and support stable overlap with gloves during repetitive motion.
  • Residue-sensitive builds: Not made with natural rubber latex, not made with BHT preservative, and designed so materials/processes do not introduce silicone—helpful where residue transfer is scrutinized.
  • Program alignment signals: Fabric is described as meeting EN 13034 Type 6 (limited chemical splash) and EN 1149-5 antistatic expectations—useful when documenting PPE rationale.
Typical tasks supported
  • Material staging, labeling, kitting, and packaging workflows (commonly aligned with EU Grade D support activities)
  • Quality/laboratory operations: sampling, weighing, documentation, bench work
  • General cleanroom support tasks where light fluid contact may occur
  • Visitor/maintenance gowning in controlled spaces (per site SOP/CCS)
  • Cross-functional areas where comfort improves compliance and reduces “PPE drift”

Packaging note Double bagged

Fit is a contamination control variable: garments that bind at the shoulders/arms or ride up at the wrists increase adjustment touches and boundary failures. This 3XL/4XL option supports correct coverage without “workarounds.”

Packaging and handling

Supplied as 20 lab coats per case. Product listing notes the coats are double bagged to support cleaner staging and controlled handling prior to use.

Good practice: stage only what you need, keep outer packaging outside the controlled boundary, and open inner packaging per your SOP to reduce accidental contact with non-controlled surfaces.

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat gowning as part of the facility’s Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). For Grade D / support activities, the control objective is consistent barrier coverage and predictable operator behavior—not just “having a coat on.”

  • Boundary integrity: Keep the zipper fully closed; verify collar position and sleeve/glove overlap before entry.
  • Change triggers: Define replacement criteria (tear, snag, visible soil, wetting, leaving controlled areas, or task change).
  • Training: Reduce “self-adjustment touches”—they are a leading source of contamination transfer.
  • Traceability: Control substitutions via change management (same garment class, size, and performance expectations).
Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in original packaging, in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and physical damage.
  • Stage per FIFO and confirm packaging integrity before introducing into controlled areas.
  • Single-use apparel should be disposed per site policy; do not reuse unless a validated reuse process exists (uncommon).

What the manufacturer is specifying (qualification snapshot)
  • Garment type: A8 zippered lab coat (mid-calf), zipper/no pockets, mandarin collar; knit cuffs
  • Material system: breathable 3-layer SMS intended for particle control and light fluid contact
  • Residue controls noted: not made with natural rubber latex; not made with BHT preservative; statement indicates materials/processes do not introduce silicone
  • Standards noted: EN 13034 Type 6 (limited chemical splash); EN 1149-5 antistatic
  • Case configuration: 51936 (3XL/4XL) packed 20 per case

Audit best practice: treat this list as “published claims” and attach the governing PDF(s) to your PPE qualification packet to prevent spec drift over time.

ISO-first: where this coat typically fits

ISO cleanroom control is about limiting airborne particulate and controlling how people and materials behave at the boundary. In many facilities, A8 lab coats are used in support spaces and controlled labs where comfort supports compliance and the risk profile is aligned to non-sterile apparel.

  • Good fit: 3XL/4XL reduces sleeve ride-up and repeated adjustments (a frequent contamination transfer behavior).
  • Closure discipline: zipper fully closed; collar seated; cuffs overlapped by gloves.
  • No pockets by design: eliminates pocket debris zones and reduces “hand parking” behaviors.
EU GMP Annex 1 lens: CCS behavior controls (practical)

Annex 1 emphasizes a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). Apparel selection is only one control—performance depends on validated gowning sequence, change triggers, and operator technique. Kimtech documentation commonly positions A8 apparel for Grade D / lab and staging activities.

  • Gowning sequence: head/face coverage first, then coat, then gloves (site SOP may vary).
  • Glove interface: knit cuffs should remain under the glove to stabilize overlap; avoid rolling cuffs.
  • Change strategy: define when coats are replaced (wetting, tears, leaving controlled boundary, task change).
  • Documentation: control substitutions (garment class, size, and performance claims) to avoid process drift.
Donning best practices (reduce contamination transfer)
  1. Perform hand hygiene per SOP before opening inner packaging.
  2. Open packaging without dragging the garment across benches or uncontrolled surfaces.
  3. Handle from the inside surfaces whenever possible; avoid touching the exterior with bare hands.
  4. Insert arms, settle shoulders, seat collar, and zip fully closed (avoid partial-zip “gaps”).
  5. Glove last: pull gloves over knit cuffs and confirm full wrist coverage.
  6. Minimize “self-adjustments” once gloved; if adjustments are needed, change gloves per SOP.
