The Groom Industries Chemical Resistant Gloves are designed for specialized household and maintenance tasks involving masonry or high-alkaline cleaning agents. Specifications indicate a construction of high-density PVC and Nitrile, which offers a reliable barrier for tasks like vertical surface scrubbing. A diamond-embossed texture is integrated into the palm and fingers to provide a steady grip when handling wet stone or glass, addressing the common issue of tools slipping in damp conditions.
Practical safety features include an internal flock lining that helps manage moisture, making the gloves easier to put on and take off without the sticking sensation found in unlined alternatives. While these gloves are rated for chemical resistance, tests show that they are most effective for masonry and basic cleaning; prolonged exposure to heavy paint thinners or solvents may cause the material to swell. The sizing is calibrated for a 9-10 inch palm circumference, though the fit is noted as being slightly slim compared to standard industrial XL sizes.
Designed to handle daily household use, the build quality emphasizes puncture resistance while maintaining enough flexibility for tactile tasks. Features include:
- Superior grip-retention on wet and oily surfaces.
- Flock-lined interior to help reduce skin irritation during extended wear.
- Reinforced cuffs to prevent liquids from rolling back onto the arms.
If your project involves handling delicate items like collectibles rather than heavy chemicals, the Dexac Microfiber Gloves provide a lint-free alternative for sensitive surfaces.
Maintaining a clean and organized home often involves using specialized protection, which you can find more of in the grooming gloves and shedding tools section.
