PVC/Vinyl

PVC

PVC/Vinyl is very durable and tear resistant. It protects against relatively harmless chemicals such as phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium and sodium hydroxide. Other appreciated features are that the material provides exceptional grip in wet conditions and retains its softness even in cold environments.

Key Properties
Chemical Resistance : Provides excellent protection against oils, greases, acids, and other water-soluble chemicals.

Durability : Strong and abrasion-resistant, ensuring gloves withstand tough environments.

Waterproof : Fully impermeable to water, making it ideal for wet and damp conditions.

Flexibility : Retains pliability even in cold conditions, ensuring comfort during prolonged use.

Cost-Effective : Affordable and widely available, making it a practical option for various industries.

Limitations

Heat Resistance : PVC degrades or becomes brittle when exposed to high temperatures.

Environmental Impact : Non-biodegradable and derived from petroleum, contributing to environmental concerns.

Limited Dexterity : Thicker PVC coatings may reduce precision for tasks requiring fine motor skills.

Applications
Industrial Gloves : Commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and chemical handling for protection against abrasions and hazardous substances.

Fishing Gloves : Ideal for gloves used in wet environments, offering grip and waterproof protection.

Cleaning and Household Gloves : Protects against detergents and chemicals during cleaning tasks and sanitation.
