Product Overview
The Grip PVC Sandy Double Dipped Glove is a robust solution designed for those working in demanding industrial environments where hand protection is non-negotiable. This gauntlet-style glove features a double-dipped PVC construction, providing a formidable barrier against liquids and various substances. The sandy palm finish is particularly noteworthy, offering an enhanced grip that ensures tools and materials stay exactly where they should be, even in slippery or oily conditions. It’s a sturdy piece of hand protection that doesn't compromise on comfort.
Key Features
- Double-Dipped PVC Coating: This dual-layer application ensures maximum liquid repellency, keeping hands dry and protected from external elements while providing superior chemical resistance.
- Sandy Palm Finish: This textured surface provides superior grip in both wet and dry conditions, increasing safety during manual handling tasks.
- Contact Heat Protection: These gloves are tested to provide safety when handling items up to 100°C, offering a vital layer of protection in high-temperature environments.
- Antimicrobial Texpel Micro Finish: This specialised treatment kills 99.9% of bacteria, maintaining a hygienic environment inside the glove and preventing the buildup of unpleasant odours.
- Cotton Flock Lining: The natural cotton lining absorbs perspiration and provides a soft interface for the skin, making long shifts significantly more tolerable.
Design & Performance
Engineered with an ergonomic design, these gloves are shaped to follow the natural contours of the hand. This attention to detail significantly reduces hand fatigue, allowing for greater dexterity and comfort over extended periods. The choice of a substantial, sturdy fabric base combined with the double-dipped PVC outer layer creates a glove that is both flexible and exceptionally durable. The canvas safety cuff extends the protection to the wrist, offering an extra layer of security against splashes or abrasions that might occur during heavy-duty tasks.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a piece of specialised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for chemical and liquid resistance, we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or heat-seal printing. Altering the surface of a PVC gauntlet could compromise its liquid-repellent properties or weaken the structural integrity of the protective barrier. To ensure your safety remains uncompromised and the glove performs to its certified safety standards, we supply this item exactly as manufactured.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for industrial applications involving liquids, oils, or chemicals where a firm grip and hand safety are essential. They are a staple for workers in waste management, heavy construction, or chemical processing. Given their contact heat resistance, they are also highly effective in manufacturing environments where hot components may be handled intermittently.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has been a fixture in the industrial landscape for nearly five decades.

We understand that in professional environments, the right equipment is a fundamental necessity for safety and efficiency.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly without being restrictive. A glove that is too large will hinder your grip and dexterity, while one that is too small will cause discomfort and increase hand fatigue. We recommend wearing these over your workwear sleeves to ensure full arm protection from splashes and contaminants.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves, they should be cleaned after each use to remove any dirt or potentially corrosive substances. We recommend wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. This practice prevents chemicals from degrading the PVC over time, ensuring the gloves remain flexible and protective for as long as possible.
Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as the intense mechanical action and high heat can damage the sandy grip finish and the internal flock lining. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from becoming brittle or misshapen.
