950087 - Ansell AlphaTec 56-015 Blue PVC Chemical Resistant Apron, 33x44

Industrial-Grade Chemical and Splash Protection

The Ansell AlphaTec® 56-015 is a medium-duty protective apron designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Manufactured from a specialized blend of vinyl and PVC, this apron provides a robust shield against a variety of chemical hazards, including acids, bases, oils, and fats. Its 6 mil thickness ensures substantial resistance to permeation and degradation, making it an essential component of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers involved in transferring liquids, chemical handling, and heavy-duty cleaning operations.

Engineered for Durability and Resistance

Industrial applications often expose PPE to harsh conditions that can compromise material integrity. The AlphaTec® 56-015 addresses this with a die-cut 5-6 mil PVC construction that offers excellent resistance to punctures and abrasion. This durability extends the lifespan of the apron, providing cost-effective protection over time. The material's inherent resistance to oils and fats makes it particularly effective in environments such as meat packing and machinery maintenance, where exposure to oleophilic substances is frequent. The blue color aids in contamination identification and aligns with industry standards for food processing safety gear.

Seamless Construction for Contamination Control

In critical environments, the physical design of PPE is as important as the material itself. The AlphaTec® 56-015 features a seamless vinyl construction, which significantly reduces the risk of trapping contaminants. Seams and stitching can often become weak points or reservoirs for particulates and fluids; by eliminating these, Ansell has created an apron that is not only more durable but also easier to decontaminate. This feature is vital for plant disinfection and sanitization protocols, ensuring that the apron does not become a vector for cross-contamination.

Optimized Fit and Functionality

Functionality in the field is supported by the apron's practical design elements. The integral head opening and ties are cut directly from the material, ensuring high tensile strength and eliminating failure points associated with attached straps. This design allows for rapid donning and doffing, as well as easy adjustment to accommodate bulky clothing or varying worker statures. With dimensions of 33 inches by 44 inches, it provides ample coverage for the torso and upper legs, protecting the wearer's core from splashes and spills during bottling, canning, and transportation tasks.
