What Are PVC Gloves?

PVC gloves are protective gloves made or coated with polyvinyl chloride. Different designs provide protection for wet work, cleaning, handling oils and other workplace applications depending on the glove specification.

Reusable Protection

Many PVC gloves are designed for reusable workplace applications when correctly selected, cleaned, inspected and stored.

Long Cuff Coverage

Long PVC gloves and PVC gauntlets extend beyond the wrist and can provide additional forearm coverage for suitable applications.

Wet Work Applications

PVC gloves are commonly considered for cleaning, washing and other tasks involving frequent contact with water or wet materials.

Types of PVC Gloves

Different PVC glove designs are suited to different workplace applications. Explore the supporting guides below to understand each type.

Red PVC Gloves in Kenya

Red PVC gloves are widely recognizable reusable protective gloves available in different cuff lengths and constructions.

Depending on the specific product, they may be suitable for cleaning, maintenance, wet handling and other general industrial applications.

Glove colour alone does not determine chemical resistance. Always check the manufacturer's product information when protection from a particular substance is required.

What to Check

  • Glove length
  • Cuff coverage
  • Material construction
  • Grip requirements
  • Workplace hazard
  • Required dexterity
  • Chemical compatibility where applicable

Long PVC Gloves for Additional Coverage

Long PVC gloves extend beyond the hand and wrist, making them useful where additional forearm coverage is desirable for the task.

Extended Cuff

Long cuffs provide greater coverage than standard wrist-length gloves.

Cleaning Applications

Long PVC gloves may be useful for suitable washing, cleaning and wet-work tasks where splash coverage is important.

Industrial Applications

Depending on their specification, long PVC gloves may be selected for industrial maintenance and handling environments.

Are PVC Gloves Chemical Resistant?

PVC gloves can provide resistance to certain substances, but no PVC glove should automatically be considered suitable for every chemical.

Chemical resistance depends on factors including the glove formulation, thickness, construction, exposure time, chemical concentration and the specific substance being handled.

When working with chemicals, check the manufacturer's chemical compatibility information and the workplace risk assessment before choosing a glove.

Before Handling Chemicals

  • Identify the exact chemical
  • Review concentration
  • Check expected contact time
  • Review glove compatibility
  • Check glove condition
  • Select appropriate cuff coverage
  • Follow workplace safety procedures

PVC Gloves for Different Work Applications

Explore application-specific guidance to help match PVC gloves with the work being performed.

PVC Gloves for Cleaning

PVC gloves can be useful for suitable commercial, industrial and janitorial cleaning applications where reusable hand protection is required.

Commercial Cleaning

Suitable glove selection can help protect hands during routine cleaning and washing activities.

Industrial Cleaning

Industrial environments may require longer, heavier-duty or specifically compatible gloves depending on the substance handled.

Janitorial Work

Reusable PVC gloves may be considered for suitable housekeeping, washing and janitorial tasks.

How to Choose PVC Gloves

Choose PVC gloves according to the hazard, task and required protection rather than relying only on colour or appearance.

1. Identify the Hazard

Determine whether the worker is exposed to water, cleaning products, oils, chemicals, contamination or another hazard.

2. Check Glove Length

Choose wrist, long-cuff or gauntlet-style protection according to the level of hand and forearm coverage required.

3. Check Chemical Compatibility

When handling chemicals, confirm that the specific glove is suitable for the chemical being used.

4. Consider Grip

Consider whether workers will handle wet, slippery or oily objects and select the appropriate glove construction.

5. Consider Dexterity

Thicker gloves may provide different protection characteristics but can also affect fine hand movement.

6. Check Fit

Gloves should fit the user appropriately and allow the required work to be carried out safely.

Inspect PVC Gloves Before Use

Reusable PVC gloves should be checked before use according to the manufacturer's instructions and workplace procedures.

Check for Cuts & Tears

Inspect the glove surface and fingers for visible cuts, tears, punctures or splitting.

Check the Cuff

Inspect long cuffs and glove openings for damage that may affect the intended coverage.

Check for Deterioration

Look for unusual hardening, softening, swelling, cracking, discoloration or other signs of material deterioration.

Cleaning & Storing Reusable PVC Gloves

Proper care can help keep reusable gloves in suitable condition between uses when the product is designed for reuse.

  • Follow manufacturer cleaning instructions
  • Remove contamination appropriately
  • Allow gloves to dry as directed
  • Inspect before returning gloves to service
  • Store away from damaging conditions
  • Replace gloves that fail inspection

Important

Cleaning does not restore a glove that has been physically damaged or chemically degraded.

Gloves that no longer meet the required condition for the task should be removed from normal use.
