Product Overview
The Grip PVC Knitwrist glove is a fundamental component of any professional safety kit where liquid resistance and durability are paramount. Engineered with a fully dipped PVC coating, this glove provides an uncompromising barrier against water and oils, ensuring that your hands remain dry and protected in challenging environments. The smooth finish is not merely aesthetic; it is designed to achieve the highest possible abrasion resistance rating, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty manual handling tasks.
Key Features
- Fully Dipped PVC Coating: By completely encasing the glove in PVC, we ensure advanced protection against liquid penetration, which is essential when working with oils or in damp conditions.
- Knitted Wrist: The elasticated knitwrist provides a secure fit that prevents debris from entering the glove, while also ensuring the garment stays firmly in place during repetitive movements.
- Cotton Interlock Lining: This internal lining provides a soft interface between the hand and the PVC, absorbing perspiration and significantly improving wearer comfort during long shifts.
- Smooth Finish: This specific surface treatment allows for excellent abrasion resistance, extending the lifespan of the glove even when subjected to rough surfaces.
Design & Performance
The design of the A400 focuses on the balance between robust external protection and internal ergonomics. The PVC exterior is substantial enough to withstand significant friction, yet the overall construction remains lightweight enough to prevent hand fatigue. The choice of a smooth finish specifically aids in the shedding of liquids, preventing the glove from becoming heavy or saturated when exposed to oil. Internally, the cotton and polyester blend lining provides the necessary structure to maintain the glove's shape while offering a breathable layer that mitigates the 'clammy' feel often associated with fully coated hand protection.
Why No Customisation?
This product is classified as essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold without customisation. Applying heat-sealed transfers or embroidery to a fully dipped PVC glove would compromise the integrity of the waterproof barrier and could potentially diminish the protective properties of the material. Furthermore, the smooth PVC surface is not a suitable substrate for standard garment printing techniques. We prioritise your safety and the technical performance of the glove over branding for this specific item.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for individuals working in the petrochemical industry, waste management, or general construction where oil and water exposure is frequent. They are equally effective for maintenance engineers who require a high level of abrasion resistance when handling metal components or machinery parts that may be coated in lubricants.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that the knitwrist design provides a snug fit. If you are frequently removing your gloves throughout the day, ensuring you have the correct size is vital to prevent unnecessary strain on the wrist seam. For those working in particularly cold environments, these gloves can be paired with a thin thermal liner to provide additional warmth without sacrificing the waterproof benefits of the PVC outer shell.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective performance of your PVC gloves, it is essential to clean them correctly after exposure to contaminants. After use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove any excess oils or chemicals. Allowing substances to sit on the PVC for extended periods can eventually lead to the material becoming brittle or cracking, which would render the waterproof barrier ineffective.
Store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can degrade the PVC coating, reducing its flexibility and abrasion resistance. Ensure the cotton lining is completely dry before storing to prevent the development of odours or mildew within the interlock fabric.
We do not recommend machine washing or tumble drying this product. High temperatures can warp the PVC coating and cause the knitted wrist to lose its elasticity, resulting in a poor fit that may compromise your safety on the job.
