OUR COMPANY

We are a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of disposable protective apparel and other products for the medical, dental, clean room, food service and consumer markets.

The company's growth strategy is to provide innovative solutions to its customers and create value for its shareholders. We have a reputation of combining extensive research and development with quick responsiveness while meeting the highest standards for quality, safety and reliability. The company also uses its innovative culture to consistently explore ways to drive down costs, improve operating margins and capture additional market share.

Our manufacturing facilities and offices are located in Arizona, Georgia, Utah and Wisconsin in the United States as well as in Canada.

Our products are classified into four groups: Disposable protective apparel, consisting of a complete line of shoecovers, headcovers, gowns, coveralls and lab coats; infection control products consisting of a line of face masks and face shields; extended care products consisting of a line of mattress overlays, wheelchair products consisting of a line of pet bedding and pet toys.

Our products are sold through three segments. The apparel segment, consisting of disposable protective apparel; the Mask and Shield segment, consisting of infection control products; and the Extended Care segment, consisting of extended care products and consumer products.

Our target markets are pharmaceutical manufacturing, bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing and medical device manufacturing, lab animal research, high technology electronics manufacturing which includes the semi-conductor market, as well as medical and dental distributors and the consumer market for pet products.

We have recently implemented a new strategy in conjunction with our distributors to communicate directly with the end users. This enables us to better understand the end users true needs and ties into our innovative strategy which is to sell products that best satisfy the end users requirements.

Our current strategy is to not only grow our cleanroom business through our exclusive agreement with VWR Scientific Products, but to also focus on our other core businesses which include medical, dental, industrial safety and pet. As part of our current strategy, emphasis is being placed on developing innovative products.

Our products are used primarily in hospitals, clean rooms, laboratories, industrial and dental offices and are distributed principally in the United States through a network presently consisting of 2 purchasing groups, 11 major distributors, approximately 765 additional distributors, approximately 12 independent sales representatives and a sales force of 15 people. Our products are primarily sold under the "Alpha Pro Tech" brand name, but are also sold for use under private label.

A fourth and new business segment, Engineered Products, was announced during the second quarter 2004 with the formation of Alpha Pro Tech Engineered Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. This Engineered Products segment will consist of a line of construction supply weatherization products as well as a line of paint containing antimicrobials. The construction supply weatherization products will consist of building wrap and synthetic roof underlayment. This line of products is a natural extension of our core capabilities: creating proprietary products designed to protect people and environments. Our expertise has now allowed us to create unique and improved materials which will protect homes and offices from the environment and nature's elements, while improving efficiencies and reducing expenses for contractors and homebuilders. The building wrap will offer a weather resistant barrier and lower energy consumption costs. The proprietary synthetic roof underlayment has the ability to resist the environment, as opposed to conventional roofing underlayment that are prone to rapid degradation and mold growth.

The line of paint with antimicrobials will inhibit growth of bacteria, fungi and algae on the painted surfaces in hospitals, surgical rooms, cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. We have an existing exclusive licensing agreement for the proprietary antimicrobial formulation to be used in the paint. This product will fulfill a key need in cleanrooms and hospitals and in addition it will reduce their operational costs while preserving environmental safety. We expect to begin manufacturing and distributing the new engineered products in the fourth quarter of 2004.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 1, 1994 as a successor to a business that was organized in 1983. Our executive offices are located at 60 Centurian Drive, Suite 112, Markham, Ontario, Canada L3R 9R2, and our telephone number is (905) 479-0654. Our web site is located at www.aphaprotech.com. Information contained on our web site is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of the following risks could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

Our future operating results are likely to fluctuate which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased 23.7% to $27.0 million from $21.8 million in the prior year. Approximately $3.5 million of the $5.2 million sales increase was due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related sales of our N-95 mask and eye shields.

While there is no way to predict the possibility of another SARS outbreak, the heightened awareness about infection control and our product line is likely to result in a higher demand for our N-95 mask and eye shield which in turn cause our quarterly and annual operating results to fluctuate.

Due to the foregoing factors, we do not believe that period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are necessarily indications of future performance.

Our failure to manage our manufacturing operations to meet changing capacity requirements will significantly limit our sales and revenue.

To meet the demand of SARS related sales of our N-95 mask and eye shields, we added new production lines during 2003. To further meet potential needs for production capacity, we leased an additional facility consisting of a 34,500 square foot building effective as of February 4, 2004. The failure to achieve increased levels of productivity could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent on a limited number of major distributors, one of which accounts for 54% of our total sales.

We have eleven major United States distributors, all of which to our best knowledge, sell competing products.

Sales to our largest distributor, VWR Scientific, represented 54.8% of total sales for 2003, 63.2% for 2002, and 64.0% for 2001.

Our agreement with VWR, which provides for exclusive distribution rights with respect to disposable apparel, mask and eye shields for sale to the Industrial/Cleanroom market place, is for a three-year period from January 1, 2001, and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party in writing not less than 60 days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term. In order to retain such exclusivity, the distributor has agreed to purchase at least 95% of its prior year's distributor sales in the current year. Since the beginning of our relationship with such suppliers in 1994, the minimum requirement has been met each year.

The loss of this distributor would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our success depends in part on protection of our intellectual property, and our failure to do so could adversely affect our competitive advantage, our brand recognition and our business.

The success and competitiveness of our products depend in part upon our ability to protect our current and future technology, manufacturing process and brand names, including Alpha Pro Tech, through a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws

We enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure of intellectual property agreements with our employees, consultants and certain vendors and generally control access to and distribution of our proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization or to develop similar information independently.

Policing unauthorized use of intellectual property is difficult. The laws of other countries may afford little or no effective protection of our technology. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, either of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our industry is highly competitive which may affect our ability to grow our customer base and generate sales.

The markets for our products are intensely competitive. We currently experience competition from numerous companies in each of the markets in which we participate. Our major competitor in the medical and dental markets is Kimberly Clark of Fort Worth, Texas. Other large competitors include 3M Company, Johnson & Johnson, White Knight/Precept, Cardinal Health, Inc., and Medline Industries Inc. Our major competitors in the industrial and cleanroom market are Kimberly Clark, 3M, Kappler USA, Dupont and Allegiance Health Care. In the extended care market, Skil-care, Glenoit Mills and JT Posey Co. are the principal competitors, and in the consumer products market, principal competitors include Flexmat Corporation and Lazy Pet Company.

Cardinal Health, Inc. and Medline Industries Inc. are distributors of our products.

Many of our competitors are more established, benefit from greater market recognition and have substantially greater financial, development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we have.

If we do not compete successfully with respect to these or other companies, it could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

There are risks associated with international manufacturing which could have a significant effect on our business.

In 2001, we began subcontracting the manufacturing of some of our goods previously manufactured in Mexico to subcontractors in China. These goods are manufactured pursuant to our specifications and quality assurance guidelines. Certain proprietary products are being made in China using material supplied by us.

We expect that subcontracting the manufacture of some products in China will represent a significant portion of our product sales, but we cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain our subcontracting at current levels. If our ability to subcontract some of our manufacturing to China were to decline significantly, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. International manufacturing is subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•: changes in foreign government regulations and technical standards;
•: difficulty of protecting intellectual property;
•: requirements or preferences of foreign nations for the manufacture of domestic products;
•: fluctuations in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar; and
•: political and economic instability.

We have recently formed a fourth and new business segment consisting of a line of construction supply weatherization products and a line of paint with antimicrobials. There are risks associated with the introduction of new products which would adversely affect our business.

We believe that our new line of Engineered Products is a natural extension of our core capabilities: creating proprietary products designed to protect people and environments. Our line of construction supply weatherization products and our line of paint with antimicrobials are aimed at reducing operational costs while preserving environmental safety. The failure of these products to achieve market acceptance, cost advantage or both, would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent upon key personnel.

We are dependent upon the experience and ability of certain key personnel, including Sheldon Hoffman, Chief Executive Officer, and Alexander W. Millar, President. The loss of the services of either of those individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Certain current stockholders own a large portion of our voting stock.

At March 30, 2004, our officers, directors and affiliated entities together beneficially own approximately 21.6% of our outstanding common stock, which treats as outstanding currently exercisable options. As a result, these stockholders may be able to substantially influence all matters requiring stockholder approval and thereby, our management and affairs. Matters that typically require stockholder approval include:

•: election of directors
•: merger or consolidation
•: sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would result in a change of control, which in turn could reduce the market price of our common stock.

You may suffer dilution in the value of your shares.

As of December 31, 2003, there were outstanding employee and director stock options to purchase 3,464,000 shares of our common stock.

Any exercise of options will usually take place at a time when we would be able, in all likelihood, to obtain funds from the sale of our common stock at prices higher than the exercise prices of the options. As a result, investors in the securities offered hereby may incur substantial dilution of their investment as the issuance of a significant number of additional shares may depress their market value.

Anti-takeover provisions in Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control of our company or make transactions beneficial to our stockholders more difficult.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Section 203 prohibits certain publicly held Delaware corporations from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an "interested stockholder", unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. This statute as well as certain of our charter and By-law provisions may make it more difficult or discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us.

We do not expect to pay cash dividends.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("Act") provides a safe harbor for forward-looking information made on behalf of the Company. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions a described from time to time in registration statements, annual reports and other periodic reports and filings of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements, other than statements of historical facts which address the Company's expectations of sources of capital or which express the Company's expectations for the future with respect to financial performance or operating strategies, can be identified as forward-looking statements. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company's future results will not be materially different from those described herein as "believed," "anticipated," "estimated" or "expected," which reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events. We caution readers that these forward-looking statements speak only as the date hereof. The Company hereby expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in the Company's expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which such statement is based.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any Shares of Common Stock which may be offered hereby. The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of such Shares.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Shares of our common stock eligible for sale pursuant to this Prospectus or which may become eligible for sale pursuant to this prospectus whether or not the holders of these shares have any present intent to do so are shares which (1) have been acquired by certain of our employees, non-employee directors and consultants prior to the date of this prospectus, pursuant to our 2004 Stock Option Plan; or (2) or may be acquired from time to time by certain non-employee directors pursuant to non-qualified stock option agreements. Selling stockholders that are currently identifiable are named in Appendix A and Appendix B to this prospectus. Additional Selling stockholders may be named in one or more supplements to this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

All or a portion of the shares offered through this prospectus may be sold, from time to time, by or for the selling stockholders in one or more transactions in the public market on the American Stock Exchange, in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of those transactions. These sales may be made either at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale on the American Stock Exchange, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares may be sold directly by the selling stockholders, each acting as principal for his own account or may be sold through brokers, dealers or other agents designated from time to time by the selling stockholders. These brokers, dealers or other agents may receive compensation in the form of customary brokerage commissions or concessions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares. We anticipate that that there will be no underwriting commissions or discounts payable with respect to these transactions, other than brokers' commissions or fees customarily paid on these types of transactions, which commissions and fees will be borne by the selling stockholders.

Any shares of common stock that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commissions received by them and any profit received by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of one business day prior to the commencement of that distribution. In addition, each selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling stockholders. All of these things may limit the marketability of the shares.

To our knowledge, no underwriting arrangements have been entered into by the selling stockholders with respect to the shares as of the date of this prospectus. If we are notified by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker or dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, disclosing (a) the name of each selling stockholder and of the

participating broker or dealer, (b) the number of shares involved, (c) the price at which the shares were sold, (d) the commissions paid or the discounts or concessions allowed to the broker or dealer, where applicable, (e) that the broker or dealer did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (f) other facts material to the transaction.

To the extent required, we will use our best efforts to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, one or more supplements to this prospectus to describe any material information concerning the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this prospectus or any material change to that information in this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares will be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

At the time of filing this prospectus, we do not satisfy the requirements for use of Form S-3. Therefore, the following limitation shall apply with respect to both control securities and restricted securities: the amount of securities to be offered or resold by means of the reoffer prospectus, by each person, and any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling our securities may not exceed, during any three month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e).

We will pay all expenses incurred to register the shares, which are estimated to be approximately $10,000, but all brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred by individual selling stockholders will be paid by them. There is no assurance that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares offered through this prospectus.

(a) (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 (Commission File No 019893);

(b) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2004; June 30, 2004; and September 30, 2004;

In addition, all documents hereafter filed by Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. pursuant to Sections 13 (a), 13 (c), 14 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities

Not applicable (securities to be offered are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act).

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel- Not Applicable

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and officers

Article VIII of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides in part as follows:

"The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person."

Under Delaware law, directors, officers, employees, and other individuals may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection wit specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation—a "derivative action") if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of conduct is applicable in the case of a derivative action, but indemnification extends only to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such an action and Delaware law requires court approval before there can be any indemnification of expenses where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.

The Company has adopted in its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws the provisions of Section 102(b) (7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law which eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director of the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director of any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

Any restricted securities to be offered or resold pursuant to this Registration Statement are exempt under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a non-public offering of securities.

Item 8. Exhibits

The Exhibits required to be filed as part of this Registration Statement are listed in the attached Index to Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10 (a) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1) (i) and (1) (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities being offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant's By-Laws, Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnifications against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

Markham, Ontario L3R 9R2
Canada

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of which (i) 1,980,00 Shares are to be offered upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. 2004 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), (ii) 350,000 Shares are to be offered upon the exercise of incentive stock options granted to Key Employees pursuant to the Plan, (iii) 100,000 Shares are to be offered upon the exercise of 50,000 options granted to a consultant and a key employee pursuant to Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements and (iv) 70,000 Shares are to be offered upon the exercise of options granted to four of the Company's directors pursuant to Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements for non-employee directors (the "Non-Qualified Option Agreements").

In connection therewith, we have examined or considered originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the By-Laws of the Company, the Plan, the Non-Qualified Option Agreements, records of relevant corporate proceedings with respect to the offering of the Shares and such other documents, instruments and corporate records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions contained herein. We have also reviewed the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Shares.

We have assumed the authenticity and completeness of all records, certificates and other instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all records, certificates and other instruments submitted to us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of the originals of those records, certificates and other instruments submitted to us as copies and the correctness of all statements of fact contained in all records, certificates and other instruments that we have examined.

Based on the foregoing and having regard for such legal considerations as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized for the issuance and, that the Shares issued and outstanding are and that the Shares to be issued, when issued in accordance with the terms of the applicable Plan will be, duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel" in the Registration Statement and under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus.
