What are PVC-dipped gloves?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) impregnated gloves are protective gloves made by dipping a glove core (usually cotton, polyester, or nylon) into liquid PVC. PVC coating has good chemical, oil, and water resistance, making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications, especially in wet or greasy working environments.

What are the types of PVC-dipped gloves?

There are a variety of styles of PVC-dipped gloves, mainly according to the design of gloves; use scenarios and functional characteristics to distinguish.

The following are common styles of PVC impregnated gloves:

Full-dipped PVC gloves

Features: The palms and backs of the hands are covered with PVC coating for all-round protection.
Application scenario: Applicable to high-risk environments such as chemicals, oils, and liquids.

Semi-dipped PVC gloves

Features: PVC is applied only on the palm and part of the back of the hand, keeping the back of the glove breathable.
Application scenario: Suitable for flexible operations without comprehensive protection, such as light industry and transportation.

Granular-coated PVC gloves

Features: The palm part is coated with PVC particles to enhance grip strength.
Application scenario: Suitable for situations where wet objects need to be held, such as oil fields and mechanical maintenance.

Sandy Finish Black PVC Glove

Features: The surface is specially treated to increase the wear resistance.

Application scenario: Suitable for high-friction workplaces, such as construction sites and hardware processing.

Open-cuff gloves

Features: Easy to put on and take off, suitable for frequent operation work.
Application scenarios: light industry, warehousing, etc.

Knit wrist gloves

Features: The cuff is tightly fitted to the wrist to prevent dust and liquid from entering the glove.
Application scenarios: scenarios that require high sealing performance, such as chemical or cleaning operations.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of PVC-dipped gloves?

Ventajas:

Chemical resistance: good protection against acid, alkali, grease, and other chemicals.
Waterproof and oilproof: Provide excellent water resistance, suitable for contact with a liquid working environment.
Low cost: Compared with other materials such as nitrile and latex, PVC gloves have lower production costs and high cost performance.
Strong wear resistance: Especially after granular or frozen treatment, the wear resistance of gloves is significantly improved.

Desventajas:

Poor air permeability: Due to the characteristics of PVC, gloves are not breathable, and wearing them for a long time may lead to sweating of the hands and increase discomfort.
Poor elasticity: The elasticity of PVC material is not as good as that of latex or nitrile, and the fit and operational flexibility of gloves are affected to a certain extent.
Easy to harden at low temperatures: in a cold environment, PVC will become stiff, reducing the operational flexibility of gloves.

What are the application scenarios of PVC-dipped gloves?

Due to their chemical resistance and water resistance, PVC rubber gloves are particularly suitable for chemical, petroleum processing, cleaning, and other work environments that need to deal with grease, acid, and alkali liquids

What is the service life and maintenance method of PVC-impregnated rubber gloves?

Vida útil

The service life depends on the working environment, frequency, and maintenance. Usually used in ordinary environments, PVC gloves can last for several months, but in environments with high wear or chemical corrosion, their life will be relatively shortened.
Replace gloves in time if they are damaged, cracked, or the adhesive layer is peeling to ensure hand safety.

How to preserve and care?

Storage environment: Keep gloves in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, or an extremely cold environment; these conditions will cause PVC material to age, harden, or become brittle.
Regular cleaning: If the surface of gloves is in contact with chemical substances, rinse with water in time to avoid damage to the gloves caused by chemical residues.
Avoid contact with sharp objects: During use, avoid contact with sharp objects or tools to prevent puncturing or cutting the gloves.
Check the state of gloves: before each use, check whether the gloves are cracked or damaged. If any problem is found, replace it immediately.

Good maintenance and storage can effectively extend the service life of PVC impregnated gloves, ensuring that gloves continue to provide reliable protection in high-risk environments.

How do you identify the quality of PVC-dipped gloves?

When identifying the quality of PVC-dipped gloves, it can be evaluated from the following aspects:.

Coating uniformity:

The coating of high-quality PVC gloves should be uniform and smooth, without bubbles or obvious defects. The coating of inferior gloves is usually uneven and may crack or break.

Elasticity and feel:

Although PVC is less elastic, good gloves should still have moderate softness and should not feel stiff when worn.

Wear resistance:

Gloves should be able to withstand a certain degree of friction and mechanical damage. Wear resistance can be determined by testing the surface of the glove with slight friction, especially in frosted or granular palm styles.

Resistencia química:

High-quality PVC gloves have good acid and alkali resistance and can prevent the erosion of a variety of chemicals. Choose gloves certified, such as EN 374, to ensure their chemical protection.

Comfort of glove core:

The glove core in a cotton cloth or knitted pile should fit comfortably, without loose fibers or uneven knitting imperfections.

Oler:

Poor quality PVC gloves may have a strong chemical odor, while good quality gloves have a lighter odor or no odor.
