Product Overview
The Chem 450 PVC Double Dipped Gauntlet is a professional-grade solution for those requiring significant protection against liquid and chemical exposure. Measuring 45cm in length, this gauntlet provides extensive coverage that extends well up the forearm, ensuring that splashes and spills are kept at bay. The green PVC finish is not merely for show; it represents a substantial barrier designed for industrial resilience in challenging environments.
Key Features
- The double-dipped PVC coating provides an additional layer of defence, significantly increasing the glove's durability and chemical resistance compared to standard single-dipped alternatives.
- A sandy palm finish ensures a secure grip even when handling wet or oily objects, reducing the risk of accidental slips and improving workplace safety.
- The internal jersey lining, crafted from a polycotton blend, offers a soft interface for the wearer, absorbing moisture and enhancing comfort during prolonged shifts.
- The 45cm extended length provides comprehensive forearm protection, making it suitable for deep immersion tasks or environments where splash risks are high.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust PVC material, these gauntlets are engineered to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty chemical environments. The double-dipping process creates a thicker, more resilient barrier that remains flexible enough for dexterous work while providing the peace of mind required when handling hazardous substances. The sandy texture on the palm is specifically designed to channel liquids away from the contact point, ensuring that your grip remains steadfast even when the surface is slick with oil or chemicals.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. As these gauntlets are classified as specialist Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for chemical handling, they are sold as-is. Any form of embroidery or heat-pressing could potentially breach the integrity of the PVC coating, creating microscopic holes that would allow chemicals to penetrate the glove and reach the skin. To maintain the certified protection levels of this equipment and ensure your safety, we do not offer customisation on this specific range.
Use Cases
This gauntlet is ideally suited for professionals working in chemical processing, industrial cleaning, and waste management. It is also an excellent choice for agricultural workers dealing with liquid fertilisers or pesticides, as well as maintenance teams operating in damp or oily conditions where forearm protection is a non-negotiable requirement of the task at hand.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure there is enough room for the jersey lining to provide comfort without being overly restrictive. Given the 45cm length, it is worth checking that the gauntlet fits comfortably over your existing work sleeves or interacts correctly with your waterproof jacket to prevent liquids from running down into the glove during use.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high performance and protective qualities of your PVC gauntlets, it is essential to clean them appropriately after each use. We recommend rinsing the exterior with clean water to remove any residual chemicals or debris, as leaving corrosive substances on the surface can degrade the PVC over time and compromise the barrier.
After cleaning, allow the gauntlets to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Subjecting the material to high temperatures, such as radiators, can cause the PVC to become brittle, which may lead to cracking. Always inspect your gauntlets for punctures or tears before each use, as even the smallest breach can significantly reduce the level of protection provided.
