Kimberly-Clark Kimtech™ A8 Lab Coat With Zipper — 3-Layer SMS, Knit Cuffs, Mandarin Collar, Double-Bagged (Case Pack)
A8 (Non-Sterile Apparel Family) 3-Layer SMS Fabric Zipper Front Knit Cuffs Mandarin Collar EN 13034 Type 6 (Limited Splash) EN 1149-5 (Anti-static) Latex-free Silicone-free (process) Double-bagged
Overview

The Kimtech™ A8 Lab Coat with Zipper is a cleanroom-handled, non-sterile protective lab coat designed for scientific and controlled-area workflows where comfort, coverage, and light fluid contact protection are required. It uses breathable 3-layer SMS fabric with soft knit cuffs, a high mandarin collar, a zipper closure (with a right-side zipper tab), and a no-pocket design to help reduce snag points and unnecessary surfaces.

SOSCleanroom curates best-in-class contamination-control PPE across leading manufacturers — including Kimtech™ for apparel systems and our close, long-standing partnership with Ansell for glove programs — so customers can standardize, qualify, and source with confidence.

Why this lab coat matters in controlled environments
  • Light fluid-contact protection + breathability: 3-layer SMS fabric is recommended where light fluid contact is possible.
  • Coverage where it counts: Mandarin collar and knit cuffs improve coverage at the neck and wrist interfaces.
  • Streamlined donning: Zipper closure supports faster changes and consistent closure compared with snaps in high-traffic support areas.
  • ESD-aware workflows: Fabric meets anti-static requirements per EN 1149-5 (as stated in published product details).
  • Material discipline: Not made with natural rubber latex; not made with BHT preservative; and manufacturing is stated not to introduce silicone.
  • Cleanroom handling: Each garment is double-bagged to support controlled staging and handling.
Typical tasks supported
  • Material staging, labeling, and packaging in controlled support spaces
  • General laboratory work where garment coverage and cleanliness are required
  • Light splash-prone steps (per facility risk assessment) where Type 6 limited splash is appropriate
  • Bioburden-controlled areas and non-sterile preparation areas (per program design)
  • Visitor / maintenance / support workflows where rapid changeover is beneficial

Note: The Kimtech Scientific Products Catalog positions A8 as non-sterile cleanroom apparel commonly used in ISO Class 8 / bioburden control and non-sterile preparation areas (program-dependent). Validate garment selection within your facility risk assessment and CCS/SOPs.

Packaging and handling

Available Quantity Option: Case. Standard case unit: 25 lab coats. Note: 3XL/4XL and 5XL/6XL sizes are 20 lab coats per case. Each garment is listed as double-bagged for cleanroom handling and staging.

Good practice for controlled areas: remove the outer bag in the ante area (per SOP), then stage the inner bag into the controlled zone to reduce packaging-borne contamination transfer.

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat garments as part of the facility Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). A8 apparel is commonly positioned in non-sterile / support contexts (e.g., Grade C/D or material support), while aseptic core zones typically require sterile, validated gown systems.

  • Define where it’s allowed: Map this coat to room grades/ISO areas in your CCS and gowning SOP.
  • Protect the glove interface: Knit cuffs should sit under the glove cuff; use your approved cuff-sealing method if required by SOP.
  • Change triggers: Replace after any splash event, tear/snags, or when exiting the controlled workflow.
  • Standardize substitutions: Control garment substitutions through change management to prevent process drift.
Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in original packaging in a clean, dry location to preserve cleanliness and packaging integrity.
  • Stage per SOP: outer-bag removal before entry; inner bag opened inside the appropriate controlled zone.
  • If packaging integrity is compromised, quarantine and replace per your quality system.
Standards and references (where applicable)
  • EN 13034 Type 6 (limited splash) — as stated in published product details
  • EN 1149-5 (anti-static) — as stated in published product details
  • ISO 14644 cleanroom context and EU GMP Annex 1 gowning expectations should be addressed through your CCS and SOPs

Garment Control Donning Discipline ISO / Annex 1 Alignment A8 Non-Sterile Apparel Context
Where the Kimtech™ A8 Zipper Lab Coat fits

The Kimtech™ A8 line is positioned as non-sterile cleanroom apparel used in ISO Class 8 / bioburden control and non-sterile preparation areas (program-dependent). In practice, facilities use A8 lab coats to reduce garment-borne contamination and protect the wearer from light fluid contact in controlled support workflows.

Important: If your operation is aseptic at the point of exposure (e.g., Annex 1 Grade A/B or ISO 5 core activities), validate whether a sterile garment system is required. SOSCleanroom can help you map garment selection to your CCS and room classification.

Donning guidance (to minimize contamination)
  1. Stage correctly: Remove the outer bag in the designated ante area; transfer the inner bag into the controlled space per SOP.
  2. Hands first: Perform hand hygiene per SOP before handling the garment; avoid jewelry/watches that can snag SMS.
  3. Hold the “inside” surfaces: Open the garment so your hands contact interior surfaces as much as possible.
  4. Collar and zipper control: Position the mandarin collar smoothly; close the zipper fully to reduce gaps at the chest/neck.
  5. Protect the wrist interface: Knit cuffs should stay under your glove cuff; avoid rolling cuffs back (this re-exposes skin and sheds fibers).
  6. Set change triggers: Replace immediately after any splash exposure, tear, zipper failure, or contact with non-controlled surfaces.
Annex 1 controls to consider (CCS-style thinking)
  • Gowning zoning: Define exactly which rooms/tasks permit non-sterile lab coats vs. requiring sterile single-use systems.
  • Glove/garment interface: If your SOP requires cuff sealing, standardize the tape and technique to prevent “wicking” under the cuff.
  • Residue control: No pockets helps reduce particle traps, but you should still control pen/marker handling and eliminate unnecessary items.
  • Traceability: Record size and SKU family (Kimtech 5193x) in gowning specs to avoid unapproved substitutions.
