Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Have a look at our FAQ page.Why can't you make a glove to use with all chemicals?
There are thousands of different chemicals on the market and even more mixtures. As every chemicals brings its own characteristics and react differently with glove materials there is nothing such as a "one for all" chemical resistant glove on the market. The most common material used as a chemical resistant glove is - Nitrile. This material offers good resistance versus oils, acids, hydroxides and alcanes. To choose the right glove for your environment please contact your supplier or ATG® Sales member.
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.
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.
Isn't leather better for cut protection?
Leather has traditionally been a popular material to use when cut protection was required. But this was the case, cause there were no alternatives on the market decades ago. Our CUTtech® technology platform combines and blends high performance yarns and fibres to impart different levels of cut protection with the driving philosophy to deliver high levels of comfort and wearer satisfaction. This is way ahead of the former leather gloves. These gloves were also so comfortable that there is no need to take them off for doing precision handling work.
