Ansell® AlphaTec® Breathable Polyester Detachable Hood | Style 66-644

Targeted Overhead Splash Protection Without Thermal Trade-Offs

The Ansell® AlphaTec® Breathable Polyester Detachable Hood (Style 66-644) provides critical modular protection for industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) systems, sealing vulnerable head and neck areas against hazardous fluid contact. In industrial environments like chemical processing, bulk terminal loading, and facility sanitization, overhead spray risks from failing valves or pressurized line runoffs are a constant danger. Traditional non-breathable rubber hood attachments trap hot air and sweat vapor around the user's head, accelerating thermal buildup and making compliance uncomfortable during extended wear.

The AlphaTec® 66-644 hood solves this risk by featuring an integrated breathable fabric membrane. This high-airflow textile lets moisture vapor and trapped heat escape freely while maintaining a reliable, liquid-tight shield against external chemical splashes. It ensures operators stay cool, dry, and properly protected in high-temperature or physically demanding workspaces.

Seamless Modular Integration & Heavy-Duty Design

Engineered specifically to complement the AlphaTec® 66-640 Breathable Polyester Jacket, this detachable hood snaps securely onto the jacket collar to create a uniform fluid barrier. Constructed from a premium 237gsm laminated polyester textile fabric, it provides high resistance against punctures, snags, and physical tears in demanding industrial yards.

To ensure complete liquid integrity, the hood is built with stitched and taped seams that prevent pressurized chemical sprays or heavy overhead downpours from wicking through vulnerable stitch points. Its contoured, generous cut delivers extensive coverage over the ears, chin, and neck without blocking peripheral vision or interfering with companion eye and face protection.

Commercial Strength & Cost-Reducing Reusability

Unlike limited-use or single-use protective hoods that quickly deplete warehouse inventory and drive up disposal costs, the AlphaTec® 66-644 is fully reusable and machine washable. Its high-tensile polyester matrix is structurally engineered to withstand repeated commercial laundering cycles without losing its specialized fluid repellency or fabric strength. This extended service lifespan lowers the total cost per wear, maximizing e-commerce procurement value for facility safety budgets.

Key Features & Product Benefits

• Advanced Breathable Membrane: Minimizes heat stress around the head and neck by venting perspiration vapor while maintaining a complete external fluid shield.

• Seamless Snap Attachment: Snaps directly onto the collar of the companion AlphaTec® 66-640 jacket to form a continuous, overlapping protective seal.

• Liquid-Tight Stitched & Taped Seams: Built with reinforced, taped stitching to block pressurized overhead sprays and chemical runoff from bypassing the material.

• Rugged 237gsm Laminated Polyester: Engineered to endure intense physical wear, snags, and abrasions in harsh work environments.

• Fully Reusable Construction: Durable design stands up to repeated machine washings, offering a long, cost-effective service life compared to disposables.

• Certified Viral & Pathogen Barrier: Tested and certified to ASTM F1671 standards for resistance against bloodborne pathogens and viral penetration.
