Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Have a look at our FAQ page.What does Sanitized mean?
Within our gloves we use sanitized to keep odors to a minimum. Sanitized® is like a deodorant that helps keep your gloves fresher longer and leaves you feeling safe and protected. Please note that ATG® uses a specific grade of Sanitized® that is “triclosan free”.
What is the difference between ANSI and EN cut standards?
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) testing provides another way of measuring the cut perfomance of a glove. Testing differs from EN388 in the way in which testing is performed, and the performance levels do not exactly equate to each other. For example an EN388 cut level 3 may be an ANSI cut level 2.
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 fibers on the inside of the glove come into contact with the user’s hand.
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.
