Frequently asked questions

How do you test the cut level of a glove?

Typically, a circular blade moves backwards and forwards across the material being tested under a fixed load. The number of blade revolutions needed to cut through the material determines the cut level it is awarded.

What do you mean by 360 degree breathability?

It means our gloves breath on both the coated and knitted areas. Our 360 degree breathability is delivered by our AIRtech® technology platform. In products where this technology is used, because both the liner and the micro-foam nitrile coating are breathable, this means the glove is fully breathable and therefore your hand can breathe through 360 degrees.

What does 18 gauge mean? What gauge are your gloves and does this matter to me?

Gauge refers to the knitting process and resultant characteristics of the glove liner. Typically the higher the gauge number, the more dense the fabric, but the fabric is also typically thinner. This means 18  gauge gloves would typically be thinner, with a denser liner than a 15 gauge glove. However, there are a number of other features and benefits apart from  gauge that are helpful in choosing a glove.

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.
