Portwest Grip PVC Sandy Double Dipped Glove

When the job demands maximum liquid protection, reliable grip, and all-day wearing comfort in the toughest industrial conditions, the Portwest Grip PVC Sandy Double Dipped Gauntlet Glove (A402) delivers on every front. Built around a double-dipped PVC construction with a sandy palm finish, cotton flock lining, canvas safety cuff, and an industry-leading antimicrobial Texpel Micro finish, the A402 is a comprehensively specified gauntlet glove engineered for demanding environments where protection, hygiene, and durability are equally essential.

Double-Dipped PVC Construction — Maximum Liquid Repellency

The A402 is constructed using a double-dipping process that applies two full layers of PVC coating to the glove shell — creating a substantially thicker, more uniform liquid barrier than single-dipped alternatives. The result is maximum liquid repellency across the entire glove surface, making the A402 highly effective against water, oils, chemicals, and industrial fluids in wet or splash-prone work environments. Where liquid exposure is a constant hazard, the double-dipped construction provides the reliability and confidence that single-layer gloves simply cannot match.

Sandy PVC Palm Finish for Superior Grip

The glove's sandy PVC palm finish provides a textured grip surface that significantly enhances handling confidence across a wide range of wet, dry, and oily surfaces. The sandy texture increases friction and surface contact between the hand and the workpiece, reducing the risk of slippage when handling tools, equipment, pipes, containers, and industrial materials — even in wet or greasy conditions. It's a practical, performance-enhancing detail that makes a genuine difference in real-world industrial applications.

Cotton Flock Lining for All-Day Comfort and Perspiration Control

Despite its heavy-duty exterior, the A402 prioritises wearer comfort with a cotton flock lining that delivers softness, breathability, and effective perspiration absorption during extended wear. The natural cotton fabric provides a high level of comfort against the skin — reducing the discomfort and irritation that can occur with unlined or synthetic-lined PVC gauntlets over the course of a long shift. The result is a glove that workers are more likely to wear consistently and correctly throughout their working day.

Texpel Micro Antimicrobial Finish — Kills 99.9% of Bacteria

One of the A402's most distinctive and valuable features is its Texpel Micro antimicrobial finish — an advanced treatment that kills 99.9% of bacteria on the glove surface. In industrial, food processing, waste management, and hygiene-critical environments, the antimicrobial finish provides a meaningful additional layer of protection against bacterial contamination — reducing the risk of cross-contamination, extending the hygienic working life of each pair, and demonstrating a commitment to workplace hygiene standards that goes beyond standard glove protection.

Contact Heat Protection Up to 100°C

The A402 provides protection against contact heat up to 100°C, safeguarding the hands against incidental contact with warm surfaces, hot pipework, heated components, and machinery during industrial tasks. This thermal protection capability makes the glove suitable for a broader range of industrial applications where occasional heat exposure is a risk alongside liquid and mechanical hazards.

Canvas Safety Cuff for Extended Wrist and Forearm Protection

The gauntlet-length canvas safety cuff extends protection beyond the wrist to cover the lower forearm — a critical area of exposure in industrial environments where splashes, abrasion, and impact hazards don't stop at the wrist. The canvas cuff provides a robust, durable barrier against the physical demands of heavy industrial work while maintaining the flexibility and comfort needed for practical day-to-day use.

Ergonomic Design — Reduces Hand Fatigue During Extended Use

The A402 incorporates an ergonomic design that follows the natural contours of the hand to reduce the muscular effort required to grip and manipulate tools and materials during extended wear. By minimising the constant tension and adjustment that poorly fitted gloves demand, the ergonomic construction helps reduce hand fatigue over the course of a full working shift — supporting both worker comfort and sustained productivity.

Designed for Easy Donning and Doffing

In busy industrial environments, the speed and ease with which gloves can be put on and taken off matters. The A402 is specifically designed for easy donning and doffing — allowing workers to quickly and cleanly remove the glove without contaminating the hands or struggling with a tight, uncooperative fit. It's a practical consideration that improves hygiene compliance and reduces frustration during high-frequency glove removal tasks.

CE Certified with Comprehensive Multi-Standard Compliance

The A402 is CE certified and independently tested to a comprehensive range of European and ANSI/ISEA safety standards covering mechanical protection, thermal resistance, cold resistance, and dexterity — making it one of the most broadly certified gloves in its class and confirming its suitability for a wide range of professional industrial applications.

Ideal For: Chemical and petrochemical handling, waste management, agriculture, food processing, construction, engineering, maintenance, plumbing, and any demanding industrial application requiring maximum liquid repellency, reliable grip, and all-day wearing comfort.
