Description

PIONEER PVC Gorgon Brown Heavy Duty – 40cm

The PIONEER PVC Gorgon Brown Heavy Duty – 40cm is an industrial-grade “powerhouse” glove, specifically engineered for the most punishing South African environments, including deep-level mining, heavy ore processing, and industrial waste management. Utilizing a proprietary “Gorgon Brown” heavy-duty PVC formulation, this glove is significantly thicker and more robust than standard PVC alternatives. The 40cm extended gauntlet provides critical protection reaching the mid-forearm/elbow, ensuring that South African workers are shielded from high-volume liquid splashes and mechanical impacts in the most rugged sectors of the economy.

Technical Specifications:

• Primary Material: Ultra-thick “Gorgon Brown” PVC compound, formulated for maximum resistance to abrasion, punctures, and industrial chemicals.
• Length: 400mm (40cm) extended gauntlet for superior forearm protection and deep-reach safety in industrial vats or runoff areas.
• Weight Class: Heavy-duty construction, providing a high-density barrier against the sharp edges and abrasive surfaces typical of the South African mining sector.
• Internal Lining: Reinforced interlock cotton liner for vibration damping, heat insulation, and superior sweat absorption during intense labor.
• Grip Finish: Textured “Gorgon” finish for exceptional grip stability when handling slime-coated pipes, oily heavy machinery, or wet ore.
• Chemical Performance: High resistance to hydrocarbons, concentrated detergents, and various leaching chemicals used in mineral processing.

Compliance & Standards:

• EN 374-1:2016: Type A (Certified protection against a broad range of chemical permeation and hazardous liquids).
• EN 388:2016: 4242X (High ratings for Abrasion and Puncture resistance, essential for underground and heavy industrial work).
• SANS 1228: Fully compliant with South African National Standards for high-performance chemical and mechanical hand protection.
• CE Category III: Certified for protection against complex hazards and irreversible health risks.

Ideal Application: Primary use case includes underground mining operations, mineral processing plants, heavy-duty industrial cleaning, and hazardous waste management within the South African mining and energy sectors.
