What is micro-foam nitrile?

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.

How breathable is the MaxiCut® 34-470. It seems thick?

The MaxiCut® range incorporates AIRtech® technology, meaning it features 360 degree full hand breathability.

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.

Are your gloves approved for food contact?

The MaxiFlex® range contains a number of gloves which are FDA compliant (21 CFR 177). MaxiFlex® Ultimate™ reference 34-874 et al and the MaxiDry® Zero™ reference 56-451 meet the requirements of the European food standards as well (EU1935/2004). Contact your local ATG® representative to confirm specific product applicability.
