Product Overview
The Chem 320 Nitrile Essential Multipack provides a pragmatic and highly effective solution for businesses requiring reliable hand protection in hazardous environments. Based on the proven architecture of the flagship A810 gauntlet, this version has been streamlined to offer a more economical choice for high-volume users. By removing individual retail packaging, we provide a cost-effective alternative without compromising the safety or quality of the product. Each pack contains 12 pairs of green, medium-weight nitrile gauntlets, ensuring your team remains protected and your stores remain well-stocked.
Key Features
- Chemical-Resistant Nitrile: The primary material is engineered to withstand exposure to a variety of chemicals, oils, and greases, protecting the wearer from skin irritation or more serious chemical burns.
- Textured Grip Pattern: A raised pattern on the palm and fingers provides superior purchase when handling slippery objects, significantly reducing the risk of accidents in wet or oily conditions.
- Cotton Flock Lining: The interior is finished with a soft flock lining that enhances comfort during extended shifts and absorbs perspiration, keeping the hands drier and more comfortable.
- Extended Gauntlet Length: The design provides protection beyond the hand, covering the wrist and lower forearm to prevent splashes from entering the glove.
- Economical Multipack: Supplied in packs of 12, this product offers maximum value for industries where PPE is a high-turnover necessity.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial nitrile compound, these gauntlets are designed to be both durable and flexible. The material choice is deliberate; nitrile offers superior puncture and abrasion resistance compared to natural rubber or vinyl, making it the preferred choice for demanding industrial applications. The green finish is standard for chemical and food safety environments, allowing for easy identification of the correct PPE for the task at hand.
In terms of performance, the textured surface is particularly noteworthy. It provides the necessary friction required for dexterity in greasy environments, which is essential for maintaining safety standards. Despite their sturdy construction, the flock lining ensures the gauntlets remain easy to don and doff, even when working in warm conditions.
Why No Customisation?
As a specialist piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for chemical resistance, this item cannot be customised with embroidery or heat-applied prints. Any perforation of the material or application of heat would compromise the integrity of the nitrile barrier, rendering the gauntlet unsafe for its intended purpose. To ensure your safety remains our absolute priority, we supply these gauntlets in their original, high-performance state.
Use Cases
This product is ideally suited for professionals working in the chemical, oil, and food industries. It is particularly effective for those involved in industrial cleaning, laboratory work, or the handling of petrochemicals. Its compliance and design make it a staple for maintenance crews and production line workers who interact with hazardous fluids on a daily basis.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit that still allows for full finger movement. A gauntlet that is too large can hinder dexterity and increase the risk of snagging on machinery, while one that is too small may cause hand fatigue. For those working in particularly cold environments, the cotton flock lining provides a layer of insulation, though they are primarily designed for chemical protection rather than thermal warmth.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your nitrile gauntlets is essential for ensuring they continue to provide the necessary level of protection. After each use, it is wise to rinse the exterior of the gauntlets with clean water to remove any chemical or oily residues. Allowing chemicals to sit on the surface for extended periods can eventually degrade the material, shortening the life of the product.
Avoid exposing the gauntlets to direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight when drying. Excessive heat can cause the nitrile to become brittle and crack, which would lead to a failure in the protective barrier. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. If the interior flock lining becomes damp, ensure the gauntlets are turned inside out or positioned to allow airflow to reach the fingers, preventing the buildup of odours or bacteria.
