26Inch Heavy duty Long Sleeves Durable Waterproof Blue PVC Chemical Resistant Gloves for Oil and Gas Industry

1,Are these gloves acid resistant?

These gloves are acid resistant. They are CE certificated that it can resist to 96% sulfuric acid for 30~60 min.However, the extended cuff part is not tested and need to be careful with the acid.

Also, please be kindly noted that the protection performance may change according to your true usage of these gloves.Thank you!

2,Will these gloves protect from TSP up to the shoulder?

The gloves go up to the place where my shoulder meets my bicep. And I am a girl. I bought size medium and they are a little bit big on me. I hope this answer helps you.

3, Are they strong enough to be used to field dress a deer or other animal?

YES. These elbow-length PVC gloves are flexible and waterproof to handle your work. Please make a complete leak test before use.

4,I only see the large and extra-large size. do you have any medium or small size for these gloves?

I bought mine in medium and they are a little bit big for me (which is what I wanted) and I am an average size female

5,Are these machine washable?

I’ve never machine washed them. I wash them in the sink then hang them up or put on my boot dryer

6,Are these made in the USA?

These gloves is not made in the USA. They are made in China. The factory is qualified as the largest PVC fully-coated protective gloves manufacturer in the world and has provide premium PVC gloves to the United States for over 15 years.

7,Can these gloves be used to work in water that contains koi fish? Is there an oily film produced from these gloves when working with live fish?

Yes, the well designed sandy-texture palm and finger offers grip to handle the oily items. We received much feedback from customers using our elbow length gloves to grab and handle fishes.

GLOVES COATING MATERIALS

Coating materials include natural rubber or latex, synthetic rubber, and plastics.

1. Natural Rubber
2. Synthetic Rubber
Chloroprene (Neoprene)   /   Nitrile rubber   /   Butyl and Viton®-butyl
3. Plastics
 Polyurethane  /   Polyvinyl chloride

Natural  Rubber also known as Latex is found in nature in over 200 plants, but its most common source is the Hevea Brasiliensis tree. Natural rubber dispersed in water is known as latex. Natural rubber has a very high elasticity compared to other glove materials, excellent cut and tear resistance, and outstanding grip and temperature resistance. While it is flexible and durable over a wide range of temperature, -18 to 149°C (0 to 300°F), it has poor flame resistance. In general, natural rubber withstands water, alcohols, and some ketones, but has poor chemical resistance against most hydrocarbon and organic solvents. Natural rubber can cause an allergic reaction in some people.

Nitrile Rubber  is a co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Nitrile rubber offers excellent physical hazards resistance to punctures, cuts, snags, and abrasion. While it is not flame-resistant, it demonstrates functional performance in temperatures ranging from -4 to 149°C (25 to 300°F). Nitrile rubber has considerable resistance to oils, fuels, and certain organic solvents. It is commonly used as a coating for dipped gloves and also in the construction of laminated and impregnated, cut and sewn gloves.

Polyurethane (PU)  is a thermoplastic polymer of urethane. Polyurethane provides good abrasion resistance and tensile strength. Polyurethane offers good resistance to oils, some organic solvents, oxidation and ozone. It has poor resistance to hot water and is not recommended for use above 79°C (175°F). Polyurethane has a very low particulate shed, thus making it a good choice for cleanroom gloves. Polyurethane is also used in some specialty application styles and as a waterproof liner for gloves.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer of vinyl chloride. PVC offers good abrasion resistance but may be susceptible to punctures, cuts, and snags. While it is flexible, it does not provide the tactile sensitivity associated with most rubber products. PVC starts to soften at approximately 82°C (180°F). PVC is effective against water and most aqueous solutions, detergents, and diluted bases and acids. It only has limited chemical resistance to organic solvents. PVC is one of the more common coatings for coated work gloves.
