In most cleanrooms, the largest contamination source is the operator: skin flakes, fibers, and movement-driven particle release. A coverall is not “just PPE” — it is a control layer that helps reduce particle migration from street clothing and exposed skin into controlled airflow zones. Kimtech™ A5 non-sterile coveralls are positioned for cleanroom environments where clean processed apparel and repeatable donning features matter, and where sterile processing is not required.

• Non-sterile cleanroom environments aligned to ISO Class 5 and ISO Class 6–8 programs (facility- and process-dependent).
• Bioburden-control areas and controlled lab/manufacturing spaces that require clean processed apparel.
• Compounding, mixing, filling, and cleaning workflows where non-sterile garment programs are appropriate and documented.

• Cleaner handling vs. shared bulk packs: individual packaging reduces “many hands, one bag” touch contamination.
• Donning control features: Clean-Don™ positioning and a “donning signal” feature are intended to reduce common gowning mistakes.
• Coverage at critical interfaces: high neck collar + built-in thumb loops help reduce exposed skin at the neck and wrist.
• Ordering accuracy: manufacturer catalog provides size-to-code mapping and consistent 25/case packaging by size.

Kimtech™ A5 cleanroom apparel is described as SMS (Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond) garment material and includes a high neck collar, elastic waistband, and built-in thumb loops to help maintain coverage. The A5 line is offered in nine sizes (Small to 6XL–8XL) with both individual-pack and bulk-pack options.

The table below reflects manufacturer catalog ordering codes for Kimtech™ A5 non-sterile coveralls. Confirm size and code during QA qualification and purchasing setup.

ISO 14644-1 defines cleanroom air cleanliness classes based on airborne particle concentration limits, and ISO 14644-5 (Operations) addresses operational controls such as personnel practices, including entry/exit and behavior that can impact cleanliness. In practical terms: the “class” you are trying to maintain is only achievable when gowning, movement, and handling are controlled as tightly as airflow and filtration.

Individual packaging can materially improve consistency because it reduces shared-bag contact and supports “one pack, one gowning event” discipline. Regardless of packaging style, the controlling principle is the same: minimize touch to external surfaces and keep the gowning sequence repeatable across operators and shifts.

EU GMP Annex 1 (Manufacture of Sterile Medicinal Products) adds a more prescriptive contamination-control expectation for sterile manufacturing, including personnel gowning as part of an overall Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). If you operate under Annex 1 for aseptic processing, confirm sterile gowning requirements by grade (e.g., sterile garments for Grade A/B activities) and align garment selection, laundering/single-use strategy, and training/qualification to your CCS and SOPs. Non-sterile coveralls may still be appropriate for supporting areas or lower-grade activities where permitted by your quality system — but they should not be assumed acceptable for aseptic core operations without documented justification.

• Touching exterior surfaces while donning: retrain on inside-out handling and slow, deliberate movements.
• Sleeves creeping up: use thumb loops; confirm glove overlap at the wrist interface.
• Wrong size selection: too small increases tearing/stress; too large increases snagging and airflow disturbance. Use the size guide.
• Packaging compromise: do not use packs with tears, broken seals, or wet/dirty outer bags; treat as nonconforming material.
• Inconsistent sequence between shifts: standardize the donning order and document it in training and audits.

Kimtech™ A5 non-sterile coveralls (individually packed) are best suited for facilities that want cleaner handling than bulk packs and that rely on controlled donning features as part of operator training. They are positioned for ISO Class 5 and ISO Class 6–8 cleanroom environments where clean processed apparel is appropriate and validated by your program.
