Product Overview
The Chem 270 PVC Double Dipped Gauntlet is a specialist piece of hand protection designed for those operating in environments where liquid and chemical contact is a primary concern. With a focus on durability and grip, this gauntlet provides a substantial barrier while maintaining the tactile feedback necessary for handling tools and materials. The 27cm length offers extended coverage past the wrist, ensuring a high level of safety during tasks involving hazardous substances.
Key Features
- Double dipped PVC construction: This secondary coating process increases the glove's thickness and durability, providing superior protection against chemical penetration and abrasive surfaces.
- Sandy palm finish: The textured surface is engineered to provide an enhanced grip in both wet and oily conditions, reducing the risk of accidental slips and improving tool control.
- Jersey lining: The internal polycotton lining offers a softer interface for the wearer, absorbing moisture and ensuring comfort during extended periods of use.
- 27cm length: This specific dimension provides protective coverage for the hand and wrist, safeguarding the user against splashes and incidental contact.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of this gauntlet is rooted in the quality of its PVC composition. By utilising a double-dipped method, the glove achieves a more uniform and resilient protective layer than standard single-dipped alternatives. This makes it particularly effective for tasks requiring consistent chemical resistance. The interior jersey lining is a critical design element; it prevents the skin from sticking to the PVC and helps manage perspiration, which is essential for maintaining focus during demanding manual work. Despite its substantial protective qualities, the glove remains flexible enough to allow for precise movement.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on these gauntlets because they are specialised items of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The integrity of the PVC membrane is vital for chemical resistance; any form of embroidery or heat-applied printing could compromise the material's protective barrier or introduce contaminants. To ensure your safety standards are never breached, we supply these items in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are a staple for workers in industrial cleaning, chemical processing, and agriculture. They are equally suited for maintenance professionals who regularly handle lubricants, oils, and degreasing agents, where a secure grip and chemical impermeability are non-negotiable.

Practical Advice
When selecting your gauntlets, ensure the fit is secure but allows for a full range of finger movement. A glove that is too tight can restrict circulation and cause fatigue, while one that is too loose will significantly reduce your dexterity and grip efficiency.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of your gauntlets, we recommend rinsing them thoroughly with clean water after every use to remove any chemical residues. If left unwashed, chemicals can slowly degrade the PVC, eventually causing the material to crack or become brittle, which renders the glove unsafe for use.
Dry the gloves naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. It is vital to avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can warp the PVC and damage the internal lining. Store your gauntlets away from direct sunlight to prevent UV rays from weakening the protective coating over time.
