CT International NBC2400 Spunbond Polypropylene Bouffant Caps (24", White) — Lightweight Breathable Coverage, No Latex Proteins, Individually Inspected, Lot Traceability, 1000/Case
Bouffant Cap Spunbond Polypropylene 24" Size No Latex Proteins Individually Inspected Lot Traceability 1000/Case Stock Item

Overview

CTI’s NBC Series Spunbond Polypropylene Bouffant Caps are designed for contamination-control programs where hair containment, comfort, and consistent workmanship matter. The lightweight spunbond construction is intended to provide breathable coverage while maintaining a snug, full-coverage fit.

Each cap is described as individually inspected (stitching, sizing, material, workmanship) and supported by lot traceability, helping facilities standardize PPE and reduce variability across shifts.


Why this bouffant cap matters in controlled environments
  • Hair containment is foundational: hair is a common source of particles and micro-contamination. A controlled head-cover program reduces shedding risk at the source.
  • Comfort supports compliance: lightweight, breathable materials help teams keep PPE properly worn for the full task duration.
  • Latex-protein avoidance: “no latex proteins” supports facilities managing Type I sensitivity concerns.
  • Program discipline: inspection and lot traceability support purchasing standardization, training consistency, and investigation trace-backs when needed.

Typical tasks supported
  • Gowning and transition areas (entry controls and visitor PPE)
  • General controlled manufacturing and support corridors
  • Lab work where hair restraint is required by safety or quality programs
  • Cleanroom and controlled-environment workflows where head coverage is specified in SOP

Packaging and handling

Bouffants are published as flat packed: 100 per bag, 10 bags per case (1000 pieces per case). SOSCleanroom lists this item as a case quantity option with 10 bags of 100 per case.

Operational best practice: stage only the quantity needed for the shift, keep bags closed until point of use, and avoid compressing caps (compression can increase handling and re-adjustment during donning).


EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat garments and head coverings as part of the facility’s Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). The cap itself is only one control—results depend on validated gowning sequence, staff behavior, and defined change triggers.

  • Coverage adequacy: many aseptic operations require more complete head/neck coverage than a bouffant cap alone—follow your CCS and room-grade SOPs.
  • Donning discipline: fully contain hair before crossing the clean-side boundary; avoid repeated adjustment (adjustment is a transfer risk).
  • Change triggers: replace if torn, wet, heavily adjusted, or after leaving controlled areas.

Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in original packaging in a clean, dry area away from dust and direct sunlight.
  • Define and train “when to change” rules (entry/exit, damage, heavy adjustment, contamination events).
  • Standardize by part number (NBC2400) to prevent uncontrolled substitutions across departments.

Quick take

Head coverings are not “optional PPE” in contamination-control programs. They are a primary control for one of the highest-shedding sources in any cleanroom: the operator. The best cap is the one that teams will wear correctly, consistently, and with minimal adjustment.


ISO-first context: what the cap is doing for you
  • Reduce particle release: hair and skin flakes contribute to airborne and surface particles; caps reduce direct shedding into the environment.
  • Reduce contact transfer: keeping hair contained reduces incidental contact between hair and product-contact-adjacent surfaces.
  • Improve behavioral control: fewer “fixes” and adjustments means fewer glove-to-face touches and lower transfer risk.

Best-practice donning (simple, repeatable)
  1. Prep hair first: secure long hair (low profile) before opening the bag to minimize rework.
  2. Touch only the band: handle the cap by the elastic edge; avoid pulling on the crown material.
  3. Fully contain hair: tuck all hair inside, including around ears and nape areas.
  4. Stop adjusting: if you need repeated adjustments, remove and replace with a better-fit size or add the correct companion PPE (beard cover, hood, mask) per SOP.

Sizing note: why 24" matters

The 24" size (NBC2400) is typically selected when teams need additional circumference to fully contain longer hair or higher-volume hairstyles without overstretching the band. Overstretching can reduce comfort and increase mid-task adjustment—both of which increase contamination-transfer risk.


Change triggers (write these into your SOP)
  • Immediate change: torn, wet, visibly soiled, or heavily adjusted.
  • Boundary change: after leaving controlled areas; do not re-enter with used head coverings.
  • Process change: after contamination events or tasks that risk wetting/splashing.

Annex 1 CCS mindset (sterile programs)

Annex 1 expects a documented Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). In practice, head coverings are evaluated as part of a system: garment selection, donning sequence, facial-hair controls, mask interface, and documented change frequency. If your CCS requires full head/neck coverage or sterile presentation, request a hood + mask solution that matches your room grade and aseptic risk profile.


Complete the head-to-toe PPE system (common pairings)
  • Beard covers: add facial-hair control when applicable: Polypropylene Beard Cover (500/Case) or HBC Series Beard Cover (1000/Case).
  • Mask interface: select a mask or hood+mask combo when required by your SOP and room grade (reduces mouth/nose emission and improves boundary control).
  • Footwear controls: pair with shoe covers and controlled entry to reduce track-in contamination at the same time you control shed sources.
