PVC (polyvinyl chloride) gloves are waterproof, flexible gloves used for wet, heavy-duty industrial work such as cleaning, degreasing, sanitation and handling many acids, alkalis and oils. Which PVC glove is right depends on the task: a full-length yellow gauntlet suits immersion and splash work, a black PVC glove suits general workshop use, and a PVC dotted cotton glove is a dry-grip glove, not a chemical glove.

How to choose PVC gloves
- Chemical: PVC resists many common acids, alkalis and oils, but no glove material resists every chemical. Send us the chemical name and concentration and we will confirm suitability before you order.
- Length: a gauntlet-length glove protects the wrist and lower forearm, which suits immersion and splash work better than wrist-length gloves.
- Lining: unlined PVC gives the most dexterity; a flock lining is more comfortable on long shifts.
- Grip: a ribbed or textured palm helps on wet or oily items.
- Not sure? Compare with nitrile gloves, which generally handle oils, greases and many solvents better.
Where PVC gloves are used

- Chemical and acid-alkali handling

What are PVC gloves used for?
PVC gloves are used for wet, heavy-duty industrial work — cleaning, degreasing, sanitation and handling many acids, alkalis and oils — where a waterproof, flexible glove is needed.
Are PVC gloves better than nitrile gloves?
Neither is better for everything. PVC is commonly chosen for wet work and many acids and alkalis; nitrile generally offers better resistance to oils, greases and many solvents, with finer dexterity. The right choice depends on what the glove will touch.
Can I buy PVC gloves in bulk?
Yes. Life Safety quotes bulk and recurring PVC glove orders on request. Prices are quoted per order; none are published on the website.
