Acid Proof Gloves
Acid Proof Gloves are specially designed protective gloves made from materials resistant to strong acids and corrosive chemicals. They provide superior chemical resistance, durability, and flexibility to safeguard hands during handling, processing, or cleaning involving hazardous acidic substances. These gloves are essential for workers in chemical manufacturing, laboratories, metal processing, and other industrial sectors where exposure to acids is common. Acid Proof Gloves ensure safety while maintaining dexterity and comfort for prolonged use.
