Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a 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. 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.
PVC Coated Gloves serve many industrial purposes. They are used extensively in the construction industry, oil refineries, oil exploration, and oil drilling. They are also used extensively in the mining industry, and in chemical manufacturing. However, they are just as suitable for home use.
