Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Have a look at our FAQ page.Is MaxiFlex® cut resistant?
MaxiFlex® Cut™ affords EN388 cut level 3 in addition to delivering all the features and benefits of MaxiFlex®.
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.
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.
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.
