Black PVC Chemical Gloves | 12", Solvent Resistant
Standard nitrile gloves handle most chemical environments well, but for solvents, petroleum products, and situations where abrasion resistance alongside chemical resistance is required, heavyweight PVC provides a better-suited alternative. HandFortress 12-inch Black PVC Chemical Gloves combine extended forearm coverage with the abrasion and chemical resistance profile that makes PVC the right glove for solvent handling, janitorial chemical work, and hazardous material handling tasks where lighter-gauge nitrile would wear through prematurely.

Key Features
- 12-inch extended length – forearm coverage for splash-prone chemical handling and pouring tasks.
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride) construction – durable abrasion and chemical resistance against solvents, oils, and many industrial chemicals.
- Heavyweight gauge – more abrasion-resistant than disposable nitrile gloves for tasks involving rough container handling or sustained contact.
- Reusable – inspect and clean between uses; replace when cracks, holes, or material degradation appear.
Common Uses & Applications
- Industrial cleaning and maintenance
- Facility sanitation and washdown support
- Municipal public works
- Chemical-handling support, when compatible
- Janitorial and facility services
- Decontamination support programs
- Utilities and infrastructure maintenance
- Manufacturing and industrial plant work
Bulk Ordering & Procurement Support
Need PVC gloves for a facility, sanitation team, municipal department, maintenance crew, industrial plant, or recurring PPE order? ASA Supplies supports business, government, municipal, contractor, facility, and industrial purchasing teams with bulk quote support, volume pricing, purchase orders, and product sourcing assistance.
Safety Note
These gloves should not be described as resistant to viral pathogens, asbestos, all solvents, or hazardous materials unless manufacturer documentation specifically supports those claims. OSHA requires employers to select hand protection based on the task, conditions, duration of use, and hazards present. For chemical work, confirm glove compatibility with the SDS and manufacturer chemical-resistance data.
Buying Guide: PVC vs. Nitrile vs. Neoprene for Chemical Handling
PVC gloves offer good resistance to acids, oils, and many solvents plus strong abrasion resistance — best for general chemical handling where both abrasion and splash are concerns. Nitrile provides finer chemical resistance and a more dexterous fit for detailed work but at a thinner gauge with less abrasion resistance. Neoprene handles a broader chemical range including some ketones and alcohols that PVC does not resist as well. Always verify glove material compatibility against your specific chemicals using a permeation resistance chart before relying on any glove for protection.
FAQ
- Are these suitable for all solvents? No — always verify PVC compatibility with your specific chemical using a permeation resistance chart. PVC is not suitable for all solvents, particularly ketones and some chlorinated compounds where nitrile or neoprene may be required.
- How do I know when to replace these gloves? Inspect before each use for cracks, holes, swelling, or discoloration (which indicates chemical permeation). Replace immediately if any damage or permeation is detected — a compromised glove provides no reliable barrier protection.
