Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A845 Double Dipped PVC Gauntlet Glove is designed for professionals handling hazardous materials or working in wet, slippery conditions. It offers superior grip and extended forearm protection, significantly reducing the need for frequent glove replacements and improving productivity. A potential caveat is that while comfortable for extended use, the primary focus is on protection and grip, which might be a trade-off for extreme dexterity in very fine tasks.

FAQs

What specific types of chemicals are these gloves resistant to?

The gloves are designed for resistance against a range of industrial chemicals, solvents, and hazardous materials. For a detailed list of specific chemical resistance, please refer to the manufacturer's chemical resistance chart.

How long should these gloves last?

The lifespan of the gloves depends heavily on the frequency and severity of use, as well as proper care. The durable double-dipped PVC coating is designed for longevity in demanding environments, but regular inspection for wear is recommended.

Can I use these gloves for protection against heat?

No, these gloves are not designed for thermal protection. They do not offer protection against hot surfaces, flames, or sparks.

Are these gloves suitable for handling sharp objects?

While durable, these gloves are not rated for cut or puncture resistance. They are primarily for chemical protection and grip enhancement.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing guide for gauntlet gloves. Measure the circumference of your hand excluding the thumb, and consult the chart to find the corresponding size for the best fit.

Can the gloves be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with mild soap and cool water is the preferred method for cleaning and maintaining the integrity of the PVC coating and lining.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip over time

Clean the palm surface with mild soap and water to remove any residual oils or contaminants that may be affecting the sandy finish.

Gloves feel stiff

This can occur in very cold temperatures. Allow gloves to warm up to room temperature before use, or ensure proper drying after washing.

Discomfort during extended wear

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try taking short breaks to allow hands to breathe. Make sure the jersey lining is clean and dry.

Visible signs of wear or small holes

Discontinue use immediately. Damaged gloves do not provide adequate protection and should be replaced to maintain safety standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. An improper fit can reduce dexterity and comfort.

Compatibility: The Portwest A845 gloves are designed for chemical resistance and wet grip. They are compatible with handling a wide range of industrial chemicals, solvents, and for use in wet environments. They are *not* intended for protection against thermal hazards, electrical currents, or when sharp objects pose a puncture risk.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, clean the gloves with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Allow gloves to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use artificial heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably hanging or laid flat to prevent creasing. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or in areas with high humidity.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect for any signs of wear, tears, or degradation. Discontinue use if damaged.
