Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Have a look at our FAQ page.What is DMF?
DMF (Dimethylformamide, CAS: 68-12-2) is an organic solvent which is restricted as a Substance of Very High Concern according to Article 57 (c) - toxic for reproduction (SVHC-Candidate List for authorisation since 2012) by REACH; It is a solvent used in the production of solvent based polyurethane gloves. All ATG® gloves are guaranteed SVHC free.
Why don't you make the exact glove I need for my application?
We make gloves for environments not applications. Why? To make it easier for you to get the right glove for the job you do. MaxiFlex® is for precision handling work in dry environments; MaxiDry® is for precision handling work in oily and wet environments; MaxiCut® for work with a risk of cut; MaxiChem® for chemical exposure. In some cases, some more specialised applications may require an alternative product.
What is strikethrough?
Strikethrough occurs where a portion of the coating contaminates the liner of the glove, you can often see where this has occurred by turning a glove inside out and inspecting the liner. We use our ERGOtech® technology platform to help eliminate strikethrough. During our patented coating process, our highly trained and skilled engineers regulate the thickness of the coating, assuring it’s consistency across all parts of the glove where it is applied. We also strictly control how much of the coating is absorbed into the liner. Why? It ensures that only soft fibres on the inside of the glove come into contact with the user’s hand.
Why do you prewash your gloves?
We want our gloves to be 'fresh out of the pack', and so even though we ensure all of the elements of production are safe for our employees, we wash the gloves post production to ensure cleanliness.
