SAP221 - 18-Inch Heavy Duty Black Rubber Chemical Resistant Gauntlet Gloves

Extended Reach Industrial Rubber Gauntlets

For welders and fabricators who often find themselves handling metal treatment chemicals, pickling pastes, or performing heavy-duty maintenance cleaning, the SAP221 Heavy Duty Black Rubber Gloves offer the ultimate protection. These are not your average household rubber gloves; they are industrial-grade "Heavy Eight" style gloves designed to withstand the abuse of the workshop. With a substantial 18-inch length, these gloves reach well up the forearm, bridging the gap between your hand protection and your sleeves or apron. This is particularly vital when working with dip tanks or using spray washers where liquids can easily run down a shorter glove.

Rugged Construction for Tough Jobs

The SAP221 gloves are built with a focus on longevity and safety. The rubber material is thick enough to resist punctures and snags that commonly occur when handling rough metal parts or tools, yet flexible enough to allow for necessary manipulation. The rolled bead cuff serves a dual purpose: it reinforces the gauntlet against tearing during aggressive movement and acts as a barrier to catch drips before they run down the arm. The smooth exterior finish allows fluids to shed quickly, making cleanup simple and effective.

Chemical Safety and Hygiene

Safety in the shop isn't just about heat and sparks; it's also about chemical exposure. These gloves provide a reliable shield against water-based corrosives such as acids and alkalis often found in metal prep and finishing solutions. Being unlined, they offer a direct tactile feel and avoid the hygiene issues associated with sweat-soaked fabric linings. They can be easily turned inside out, washed, and dried, ensuring that your PPE remains sanitary day after day. Additionally, their silicone-free nature ensures they won't contaminate surfaces prior to welding or painting.

Key Applications

• Chemical Plating & Treating: Safe handling of acidic and caustic baths.
• Sandblasting: Protects hands and forearms from abrasive media ricochet.
• Plant Maintenance: Ideal for scrubbing down machinery with strong degreasers.
• Laboratory Work: Reliable barrier for bulk fluid handling.
