Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Have a look at our FAQ page.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.
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.
Is MaxiFlex® silicone free?
Yes, the MaxiFlex® range is silicone free with the exception of MaxiFlex® Endurance™, styles of MaxiFlex® Elite™ with raised dots (34-244 and 34-245) and MaxiFlex® Cut™ with raised dots (34-8443 and 34-8453), which provide extra cushioning and increased durability.
How is the durability of MaxiFlex®?
MaxiFlex® is exceptionally durable, and has achieved up to 18000 cycles in testing, twice the figure MaxiFlex® colour copies typically achieve. All of this means that MaxiFlex® will last longer and help to reduce your glove costs.
I've been using your MaxiFlex® gloves whilst loading and unloading CNC machines and they're everything you claim and more.
