Terry Cotton Sleeve Covers – 18-Inch, 1 Dozen
HandFortress 18-inch terry cotton sleeve covers provide breathable forearm coverage for bakeries, food production lines, assembly stations, paint shops, maintenance teams and manufacturing facilities. The loop-out cotton terry is absorbent and flexible, helping cover the wrist and forearm during dirty parts handling and general facility work.
ASA lists a 2-ply seamless knit construction with elastic at both ends. The elastic helps position the sleeves over bare arms, uniforms or long sleeves during repetitive movement. Each dozen contains 12 individual sleeves, equivalent to six two-sleeve sets, for team outfitting, PPE stations and recurring facility supplies.

Heat Claim and Safety Selection
The existing ASA listing states heat resistance up to 300°F for incidental exposure. A matching test report for this generic supplier has not been verified. Treat that figure as an unverified listing claim, not a safe contact temperature or duration. Confirm supplier performance data before selecting these sleeves for warm surfaces, hot tools or oven-adjacent work.
OSHA 1910.132 requires appropriate protective equipment where workplace hazards warrant it and prohibits use of damaged PPE. No flame-resistance, cut, arc-flash or chemical-protection rating is established here. Do not select these sleeves for direct flame, molten metal, welding sparks, chemical splash or sharp-edge handling. Cotton terry is not a waterproof barrier.
Buying Guide: Terry Cotton vs. Kevlar, PVC and Plastic Sleeves
Terry cotton offers breathable, absorbent coverage for grime and routine work. For heat or abrasion hazards, verify the exact sleeve’s tested performance. For cut hazards, choose sleeves with an appropriate documented cut rating; Kevlar content alone does not establish that rating.
PVC or vinyl sleeves may suit specified liquid-splash tasks when compatibility is documented. Disposable polyethylene sleeves offer single-use clothing coverage. Neither material name alone establishes a chemical or biological barrier. Match the sleeve to the actual forearm exposure and facility requirements.
Fit, Washing and Reuse
Check coverage during reaching and bending. These sleeves are listed as washable and reusable; follow the supplied care instructions for detergent, temperature and drying. Inspect after washing, and replace sleeves with holes, weakened elastic or persistent contamination.
