Micro-foam nitrile is a special, patented formulation of nitrile coating which allows our gloves (where this coating is used) to be fully breathable. The coating can be applied precisely and is thin, which means users can enjoy maximum dexterity and flexibility.
Is MaxiFlex® silicone free?
Yes, the MaxiFlex® range is silicone free with the exception of MaxiFlex® Endurance™, styles of MaxiFlex® Elite™ with raised dots (34-244 and 34-245) and MaxiFlex® Cut™ with raised dots (34-8443 and 34-8453), which provide extra cushioning and increased durability.
Why do the number of abrasion cycles a glove can handle matter?
Abrasion resistance is measured from level 1-4 (EN388), but within those levels, performance can vary. For example, level 4 abrasion resistance requires a glove to withstand a minimum of 8000 cycles, but MaxiFlex achieves up to twice as many abrasion cycles. MaxiFlex® therefore far exceeds the minimum performance requirements of level 4 abrasion resistance and would be considered more durable than a product only just achieveing level 4.
What are the dots for on MaxiFlex® Endurance™?
The micro-dots help provide extra cushioning for repetitive tasks, enabling you to work for longer while enjoying high levels of comfort.
Love the gloves. Best I've ever had.
I find MaxiFlex® gloves to be the perfect gloves. They're very comfortable and fit like a second skin.
