Portwest Gauntlet-Style Neoprene Chemical Resistant Gloves

Complete Arm Protection and Robust Chemical Defiance

The Portwest Gauntlet-Style Neoprene Chemical Resistant Gloves (Glove Code: A820) provide heavy-duty defense for hands, wrists, and forearms in hazardous industrial environments. Crafted from a specially formulated chloroprene rubber (neoprene) compound, these gloves act as an impermeable protective barrier. They are engineered to shield personnel from dangerous splashes, liquid immersion, and cross-contamination across laboratory, manufacturing, and petrochemical job sites.

Advanced Chemical Resistance and Multi-Hazard Testing

Tested under stringent European safety parameters, these gloves feature an outstanding EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type A (AKLMNOPST) chemical compliance profile. This broad certification ensures a high breakthrough-time index when handling corrosive acids, concentrated caustics, industrial alcohols, and aggressive solvents. Furthermore, they comply with EN ISO 374-5 regulations for micro-organism control, proving highly effective at blocking dangerous bacteria, fungi, and airborne biological vectors from contacting the skin.

Enhanced Traction with Anti-Slip Grip Patterns

To reduce risk when managing slick or wet components, the gloves feature a deeply textured anti-slip surface pattern on the palms and fingers. This specialized texture effortlessly channels away dense liquids, oils, and chemical residues, ensuring an uncompromising grip in both wet and dry handling conditions. The heavy-duty 0.78mm neoprene formulation is complemented by an EN 388 Level 3 abrasion rating, offering adequate physical defense against rough workshop borders and structural scrapes.

Perspiration Absorption and Extended Forearm Safety

Designed with a premium cotton-flock interior lining, these safety gauntlets manage climate control by efficiently absorbing sweat. This layout limits skin maceration, allowing operators to complete long, grueling shifts without hand fatigue or inner slip. Featuring an extended 380mm (38cm) gauntlet-style cuff, the design provides full-coverage protection up the forearm, preventing liquid runoff or splashback from breaching the sleeve.

Primary Industrial Work Settings

• Chemical Processing & Preparation: Maximizes compliance when blending raw chemicals, handling concentrates, or cleaning fluid containers.

• Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Engineering: Safeguards plant mechanics maintaining oil refineries or handling drilling fluids and lubricants.

• Industrial Cleaning & Sanitation: Shields cleaning crews from highly corrosive commercial detergents and heavy bleaching products.

• Pharmaceutical & Laboratory Research: Delivers clean, liquid-proof hand safety for managing sensitive bio-agents and aggressive solvents.
