Why do some leather gloves contain Chromium?

Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather, which is more durable and less susceptible to decomposition. Once completed there can be chromium VI within the treated leather which has led to chromium VI being listed as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) within the European REACH legislation and limited to 3PPM within EN420.

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.

What is HandCare®?

We spare no effort in making sure that the ATG® glove experience is a gentle one, both for the user’s skin and for the planet. HandCare by ATG® incorporates a growing number of elements, and embodies our belief that a high performance glove should also be skin friendly from the moment you come into contact with them. All our gloves are dermatologically accredited by the Skin Health Alliance and are post washed prior to packaging enabling us to guarantee them “fresh out of the pack” as certified by Oeko-Tex®. All ingredients used in the production of our gloves are according to REACH and none of our product contains SVHC.

What is a dip line and which do I need?

MaxiFlex® is available in 4 different dip lines, meaning there are 4 options as to how much coating is applied to the glove. For many tasks, a palm coating may be sufficient, leaving the back of the hand with maximum flexibility. For other tasks, when cushioning or higher oil repellance on the backside of the glove is needed, 3/4 or full coating may be more appropriate. We offer different dip lines so that you only get the amount of coating you need.
