Portwest AP36 Grip 15 Double-Dipped Chemical-Resistant Nitrile Gauntlet (Orange/Black)

Dual-Layer Fluid Defiance and Chemical Defense

The Portwest AP36 Grip 15 Double-Dipped Chemical-Resistant Nitrile Gauntlet (Orange/Black) sets a premium standard for heavy-duty hand protection in volatile fluid and chemical environments. Engineered to combine robust barrier defense with maximum operational control, this industrial gauntlet shields workers against hazardous splashes, oils, and deep workshop grimes. The striking high-visibility orange upper paired with a professional black dipped finish ensures excellent hand gesture visibility on complex and high-risk work sites.

Advanced Double-Dipped Architecture and Traction

The core innovation of the AP36 model lies in its specialized two-layer double-dipped construction. The inner smooth nitrile layer provides an impermeable protective wall that delivers maximum liquid repellency against aggressive oils, grease, and continuous moisture penetration. Directly over this foundation, an outer micro-foam sandy nitrile coating channels away surface liquids to ensure an uncompromising, slip-free grip. This design yields exceptional mechanical resilience, achieving a certified ANSI Level 3 abrasion resistance rating.

Ergonomic 15-Gauge Dexterity and Thermal Protection

Unlike bulky, rigid industrial gauntlets, this glove is constructed with an ultra-flexible 15-gauge seamless nylon and elastane liner. The high-density knit provides exceptional elasticity and full freedom of movement, earning the highest possible EN ISO 21420 Level 5 dexterity certification to reduce muscle fatigue. Beyond chemical defiance, the gauntlet delivers verified EN 407 contact heat shielding up to 100°C (212°F), allowing handlers a critical threshold of physical safety when moving warm machinery parts or piping.

Extended Coverage and Target Industrial Environments

Featuring a comprehensive 285mm extended gauntlet length and 1.45mm material thickness, this safety tool extends defensive protection past the wrist up into the lower forearm. This continuous boundary effectively prevents dangerous fluids from spilling or dripping into the liner core.

• Chemical Processing & Handling: Provides certified baseline defense under EN ISO 374-1 parameters against specific industrial concentrates.

• Oil & Gas Pipeline Work: Shields palms and wrists from heavy drilling grimes, slick petroleum lubricants, and grease.

• Heavy Machinery Maintenance: Protects engineering teams cleaning deep automotive assemblies or dealing with warm fluid transfers.

• Facilities Management & Sanitation: Offers all-weather abrasion and liquid protection for handlers managing harsh commercial detergents.
