SAO802 - Shoulder-Length Neoprene Chemical Gauntlet Glove, Large

Heavy-Duty Chemical Protection for Industrial Environments

The SAO802 Chemical Resistant Neoprene Glove is a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for harsh industrial environments where standard hand protection is insufficient. Engineered with high-grade neoprene, these gloves offer a robust barrier against a broad spectrum of hazardous substances, including concentrated acids, caustics, oils, greases, and various solvents. Unlike natural rubber latex, neoprene provides superior resistance to degradation from sunlight, ozone, and oxidation, ensuring a longer service life in demanding storage and usage conditions.

Extended Coverage for Maximum Safety

One of the defining features of the SAO802 is its shoulder-length design. Standard gauntlet gloves often leave the upper forearm and bicep exposed, creating a vulnerability during splash events or when reaching into deep vessels. This glove extends protection all the way to the shoulder, effectively sealing off the arm from dangerous fluids. This feature is particularly vital in plating operations, metal finishing, and industrial degreasing, where operators frequently submerge their hands and arms into tanks containing reactive solutions. The extended cuff also prevents liquids from running down the inside of the glove when working with hands raised, a common hazard in overhead maintenance tasks.

Durability and Performance

Constructed to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial use, these gloves feature a thickness that balances durability with necessary flexibility. The material resists snags, punctures, and abrasions better than standard PVC alternatives, making them suitable for handling rough parts or equipment. The palm and finger areas are treated with a textured finish, providing a secure grip on wet, oily, or slippery objects, which is essential for maintaining safety and productivity. The interior is designed to facilitate easy donning and doffing, while the large size accommodates a wide range of hand profiles.

Versatile Application Spectrum

These gloves are an indispensable asset for facilities involved in petrochemical processing, oil refining, and chemical manufacturing. They are also highly effective for maintenance personnel performing parts washing or machinery degreasing. By integrating the SAO802 into your safety protocol, you ensure compliance with safety standards regarding dermal protection and significantly reduce the risk of chemical burns and dermatitis among the workforce.
