SHOWA B0700R PVC Household Cleaning Gloves, 30 cm

SHOWA B0700R PVC household cleaning gloves for latex-free hand protection

The SHOWA B0700R are thin, lightweight PVC household cleaning gloves designed for tasks where cleanliness, chemical resistance, and dexterity all matter. At 12 mil (0.30 mm) thickness, they deliver a close second-skin fit that allows natural hand movement — making them practical for both professional cleaning environments and household use. The fully latex-free PVC construction makes them a straightforward choice for anyone with natural rubber allergy or sensitivity.

Fit, grip, and comfort

The non-powdered slip-on treatment inside the B0700R makes these noticeably easier to put on and remove compared to standard unlined PVC gloves — particularly when hands are slightly damp after previous use. The anatomical shape follows the natural contour of the hand, reducing hand fatigue during extended wear. On the outside, the embossed surface provides a reliable grip on wet, slippery, or greasy objects without requiring excess gripping force.

The 30 cm cuff length with scalloped edge extends protection to the lower forearm, keeping splashes and drips from cleaning products away from skin. Lint-free and dust-free construction means these are suitable for environments where contamination is a concern — pharmaceutical work, food handling, and clean-room adjacent applications alongside everyday cleaning tasks.

Chemical and liquid resistance

The flexible PVC coating provides a continuous, impermeable barrier against water, liquid cleaning products, and a range of chemicals encountered in professional and domestic cleaning. Certified performance includes:

• EN 374-1:2016 Type C — chemical splash resistance; tested against sodium hydroxide 40% (breakthrough >480 minutes) and sulphuric acid 96% (breakthrough >10 minutes)
• EN ISO 374-5:2016 — protection against microorganisms and viruses
• EN 388:2003 — basic mechanical hazard resistance

The B0700R is CE Category II certified, meaning it has undergone independent third-party assessment confirming it meets the PPE Regulation 2016/425 requirements. It is not rated for prolonged immersion in strong solvents or highly concentrated industrial acids — for those applications a thicker, higher-rated chemical glove is required.

Recommended uses

The SHOWA B0700R suits tasks where a thin, clean, latex-free glove is needed:

• Professional cleaning and janitorial services
• Household cleaning — kitchens, bathrooms, general surface work
• Food preparation and food-service environments
• Pharmaceutical and laboratory environments requiring clean handling
• Light chemical handling — diluted acids, alkalis, and disinfectants
• Paint preparation and light maintenance work

Care and replacement

After use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface residue. Do not machine wash. Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can degrade PVC over time. Inspect before each use — replace immediately if the surface shows cracking, discolouration, or any signs of perforation. Service life depends on usage intensity and chemical exposure; there is no fixed lifespan and the condition of the glove should be the guide.
