Super PVC work gloves are designed to provide resistance and protection in demanding conditions, thanks to the full sandy PVC coating which ensures high durability, excellent grip even on slippery surfaces, and reliable protection in wet or dirty environments. The cotton lining guarantees comfort, flexibility, and good dexterity even during prolonged use.

Certifications EN 388:2016 + A1:2018, EN 374-1:2016/A1:2018, and EN 374-5:2016 confirm a high level of mechanical protection, specific resistance to chemical substances, and a barrier against microorganisms, making these reliable and versatile chemical protection gloves.

Super PVC work gloves are ideal for industrial maintenance, biological laboratories, biological waste handling, chemical industry, agriculture, gardening, and professional cleaning.

Materials

Cotton

Cotton is a natural fiber characterized by softness, gentleness, and non-irritating properties. It helps protect against mechanical stress such as impacts, light vibrations, iron filings, splinters, and glass fragments. It promotes breathability, making the gloves comfortable even for extended periods. Cotton fibers are often integrated with polyester to combine comfort with increased mechanical resistance and high elasticity.

PVC coating

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a durable and versatile synthetic material that offers protection in damp environments or those contaminated by light chemicals. It is waterproof and resistant to oils, fats, and water, effectively protecting hands from moisture and dirt. It is robust and long-lasting, with good resistance to abrasions and tears, ensuring a long life for the gloves. Although less elastic than other materials like latex or nitrile, it can be coated or textured to improve grip and comfort. Easy to maintain, it can be readily cleaned and reused.

Performance

Protection against mechanical risks

Gloves that protect against mechanical risks according to EN 388 +A1, evaluated through resistance tests for abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and cut according to the ISO method (TDM).

Chemical protection - Type B

Gloves that protect against chemicals and microorganisms according to EN ISO 374-1 + A1 Type B: resistant for at least 30 minutes against 3 chemical substances: Methanol, n-Heptane, Sodium hydroxide 40%.

Microbiological protection

Gloves that protect against microorganisms according to EN 374-5, evaluated for resistance to penetration by bacteria and fungi.

Gauge

Selection guide

EN 388:2016 standard classifies protective gloves according to their resistance against mechanical risks. The resistance against ABRASION - CUT - TEAR - PERFORATION must appear in the pictogram relating to the standard. The revision of the previous standard (EN 388:2003) has made changes to the test procedures, especially for the CUT test, including an additional test.

Test performed to provide an indication about the cut protection. The test is performed using a circular blade that moves on the surface of the gloves with a 5 newton pressure (Coup Test). The evaluation, from 1 to 5, is measured by calculating the number of cycles until the moment in which the blade penetrates the fabric.

For high cut resistance gloves (Coup Test 4 o 5) an additional test (EN ISO 13997) is carried out with a straight blade from which the force required to penetrate the fabric is detected. The value is expressed from A to F (F is the highest value).

The gauge represents the fineness of the knit used to create the glove’s fabric lining. It is a fundamental parameter in determining the dexterity, comfort, and protection level of the glove. The higher the gauge, the finer and more compact the knit.

The gauge directly impacts three key aspects: dexterity, comfort, and resistance.

HIGH GAUGES: 15G > 18G

Characterized by a very thin and lightweight knit, offering high tactile sensitivity and superior ergonomics. Ideal for precision
work, assembly, electronics, and handling small components.

MEDIUM GAUGES: 10G > 13G

Offer an optimal balance between protection, flexibility, and durability. Suitable for logistics, maintenance, light industry,
construction, and general-purpose applications.

LOW GAUGES: 7G > 9G

Characterized by a thicker and more robust knit, designed for heavy-duty use requiring greater mechanical resistance, such as
construction, carpentry, and heavy material handling.

The choice of gauge enables identification of the highestperforming KAPRIOL glove for each activity, optimizing comfort, safety, and dexterity.
In this catalogue, it serves as an essential indicator to guide the customer toward the most appropriate technical solution.
