Simpler is Smarter.Smarter is Safer.Selecting chemical protective equipment is a crucial, yet challenging task for industrial managers worldwide. Since complex portfolios are made even more complicated by evolving standards and regulations, compliance is becoming increasingly difficult.

In response to recent regulatory changes, we are proactively streamlining the process for specifying and selecting Ansell chemical protective equipment. By organizing and presenting our chemical offering in a simplified manner, we aim to make it easier for you to select your chemical protection needs.

This is a comprehensive, multi-year effort to streamline the management of our chemical risk portfolio. It includes an evolving role for AlphaTec® as an anchor for all our chemical protection offers. Uniting all the resources of the Ansell team around a more thoughtful program of support and unifying under a common brand is the first step. Here’s what’s in store.

The simplification activities will include:

Unifying the focused chemical protective solutions in a single brand: AlphaTec®

Aligning meaningfully with new and upcoming regulatory standards

Optimizing protection, productivity and costs with Ansell Guardian®

Expanding our tools for simplified chemical protection selection and industry news

Thinking about youAnsell understands how difficult it can be to chose the correct chemical protection when many gloves and suits are available today in the market. Besides the wide range of compositions and technologies, the ongoing changes in the chemical regulatory environment can bring many questions.

Thinking about making the selection process easier, Ansell consolidates many individual product brands under a single AlphaTec chemical protection range and provides a series of tools and resources to guide you. This will allow us to clearly support you on the ongoing regulatory changes and to help you navigate a portfolio that now features an expanding body protection offer.

MARCH 2018

A refined product selection will bring you comprehensive chemical protection solutions under the brand Alphatec®.

For simpler navigation and product selection, gloves will be organized by polymer and body protection solutions will be organized by exposure type and protection level.

Customers familiar with SOLVEX® (for gloves) and TRELLCHEM®, MICROGARD® and MICROCHEM® (for suits) will see those styles co-branded with AlphaTec®.

Ansell will guide you through the transition to the new EN ISO 374 standard, while also seamlessly integrating new Regulation (EU) 2016/425 entering into application from 21 April 2018. The products affected will remain the same, but transitions in packaging, marking on the glove and portfolio organization will all support our simplification program.*
