Double griped PVC gloves

Double griped PVC gloves

 the Double Grip PVC Gloves.

The Double Grip PVC Gloves are heavy-duty waterproof hand protection solutions. They are engineered for the harshest wet environments where slip resistance and chemical defense are non-negotiable.

Unlike standard single-dip PVC gloves that sacrifice durability for flexibility, these gloves feature a dual-layer immersion construction. Two separate passes of liquid PVC compound create a reinforced barrier against punctures, abrasion, and corrosive liquids.

The defining characteristic is the textured gripping surface on both the palm and the back of the hand. This bidirectional traction system ensures positive control whether hauling wet lines, handling slippery produce, or manipulating chemical drums.

Trusted by commercial fishermen, sanitation workers, agricultural laborers, and industrial chemical handlers, these Double griped PVC gloves deliver uncompromising protection in environments that destroy fabric, leather, and standard nitrile alternatives within hours.

The cotton flock-lined interior wicks perspiration while allowing rapid donning and doffing. This ensures comfort through extended shifts in saturated conditions.

What Makes Double Grip Different from Standard PVC Gloves?

The term Double Grip refers to two distinct engineering advancements. First, the gloves undergo two complete PVC dipping cycles. This results in a thicker, more resilient coating with approximately 40% greater film strength compared to single-dip economy gloves.

Second, these gloves feature aggressive texturing on both the palm side AND the dorsal side. This bidirectional grip pattern provides traction when gripping overhead lines, hauling rope, or manipulating objects against the back of the hand in confined spaces.

Users consistently report these gloves eliminate the slipping through fingers phenomenon common with single-dip smooth-finish PVC gloves when handling wet, slimy, or soapy materials.

What Chemicals and Liquids Can These Gloves Resist?

These Double griped PVC gloves exhibit excellent resistance to a broad spectrum of aggressive substances. The Double griped PVC gloves compound provides reliable barrier protection against acids, alkalis, alcohols, petroleum lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and animal fats.

They are particularly specified for fisheries and food processing applications due to their resistance to fish oils, brine solutions, and organic residues that rapidly degrade latex and many synthetic elastomers.

Notably, these Double griped PVC gloves are not recommended for ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, or halogenated solvents. These substances will swell and compromise the PVC matrix.

Are These Gloves Suitable for Food Handling and Preparation?

Yes. These Double griped PVC gloves  are manufactured from compounds that comply with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for repeated-use food contact applications. The formulation contains no plasticizers that could migrate into fatty foods, and the pigment systems are heavy metal-free.

They are widely specified in commercial fishing, meat and poultry processing, commercial kitchens, and produce washing stations. The textured double grip surface provides secure handling of wet fish, marinated meats, oiled vegetables, and soapy dishware.

These are not disposable single-use items. They are heavy-duty reusable gloves designed for extended service life with proper sanitation protocols.

How Does the Fit and Comfort Compare to Rubber or Nitrile?

These Double griped PVC gloves feature a 100% cotton interlock knit lining fully flocked to the interior surface. This cotton substrate absorbs perspiration during extended wear, provides thermal insulation against cold liquids, and creates a low-friction interface for rapid donning and doffing.

Unlike unlined PVC gloves that adhere to damp skin and create suction during removal, these gloves release cleanly with a single smooth pull.

Double griped PVC gloves are generously proportioned to accommodate the cotton liner without compressing the hand. The curved pre-bent finger profile reduces grip effort during continuous tool or line handling.

These gloves run true to size when measured against standard work glove sizing charts.

What Is the Expected Lifespan in Commercial Fishing Applications?

In the brutally abrasive environment of commercial fishing, these gloves typically provide 40 to 80 hours of active duty before replacement. This represents approximately 3 to 5 times the service life of leather gloves and 8 to 10 times the service life of cotton or string-knit alternatives in identical wet environments.

The double-dip construction creates a thicker sacrificial layer at the palm and fingertips, the highest wear zones.

To extend glove life, rinse them in fresh water at the end of each shift and hang dry away from direct UV exposure or ozone-generating equipment.

Do These Gloves Provide Any Cut or Puncture Resistance?

While these gloves are not ANSI-rated cut-resistant products, the thick-gauge PVC coating provides meaningful puncture defense against fish spines, crab legs, shellfish shells, broken glass, and sheet metal burrs.

The double-dip construction measures approximately 0.75mm to 0.90mm across the palm and fingertip zones. Double griped PVC gloves presents substantial resistance to sharp object penetration.

For applications requiring certified cut resistance, these gloves should be supplemented with cut-resistant liners or replaced with specialized cut-resistant coated gloves.

For general wet environment hazard protection, these gloves provide superior puncture defense compared to latex, nitrile, or neoprene alternatives of comparable gauge.

What Length and Cuff Style Is Available?

These gloves are offered in two distinct configurations. The standard 12-inch gauntlet style features a straight-cut cuff that provides basic splash protection to the lower forearm. It is suitable for general janitorial, agricultural, and light industrial applications.

The extended 16-inch version includes a contoured cuff with rolled reinforcement edge. It is designed for deep immersion tasks such as tank cleaning, commercial fishing tub operations, and chemical bath handling.

Both variants maintain the full double-dip construction and bidirectional grip texturing across the entire coated surface. Neither version includes a fabric gauntlet. The cuff is solid PVC for complete liquid exclusion.
