Product Overview
The Chem 300 Nitrile Sandy Double Dipped Gauntlet is a specialist piece of hand protection engineered for those working in challenging environments where oils, liquids, and chemicals are a constant presence. Combining a soft nylon liner with a robust double-dipped nitrile coating, this gauntlet ensures that safety doesn't come at the cost of dexterity. The distinctive sandy palm finish provides a high level of tactile control, making it a reliable choice for precision tasks in slick or wet conditions.
Key Features
- Double-Dipped Nitrile Coating: This provides a multi-layered barrier against liquid penetration and significantly enhances the overall abrasion resistance of the glove.
- Sandy Palm Grip: The textured surface ensures a secure hold on tools and components, even when they are coated in industrial lubricants or water.
- Lightweight Nylon Liner: A soft, comfortable interior fabric reduces hand fatigue and increases wearability for extended periods of time.
- Chemical and Oil Resistance: Specifically designed to maintain its structural integrity and protective qualities when used in wet and oily environments.
Design & Performance
The design of the AP60 focuses on the synergy between technical protection and user comfort. The internal nylon liner is made from a lightweight fabric that allows for greater flexibility compared to traditional heavy-duty gauntlets. This is crucial for maintaining focus during prolonged shifts. The nitrile coating is applied in a double-dip process; the first layer provides the primary seal against fluids, while the second sandy layer adds the essential grip required for manual handling in hazardous conditions. The result is a glove that feels substantial and sturdy without becoming restrictive.
Why No Customisation?
As a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for chemical and liquid resistance, this gauntlet cannot be customised with company logos or branding. Any puncture from embroidery needles or chemical reaction from printing inks would compromise the structural integrity of the nitrile barrier, rendering the protection ineffective. To ensure your safety remains the priority, we provide these items in their original, factory-tested state.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are ideally suited for industrial cleaning, chemical processing, automotive maintenance, and any manufacturing role involving oily machinery. They are a staple for professionals in refineries or laboratory settings where hand protection from liquid ingress is a non-negotiable requirement.
Why MyWorkwear

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the gauntlet fits securely around the palm while allowing for full finger extension. For maximum protection, ensure the length of the gauntlet overlaps sufficiently with your waterproof sleeves to prevent liquids from entering at the cuff during overhead work.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective properties of your nitrile gauntlets, it is essential to rinse them with clean water after every use, especially if they have been in contact with chemicals. Leaving residues on the surface can cause the nitrile to degrade, stiffen, or crack, which would compromise your safety on the next use.
Do not use bleach or harsh detergents to clean the exterior, and avoid drying the gauntlets near direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can damage the chemical bonds of the nitrile coating. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space to ensure they remain flexible and ready for the next shift.
