Micro-foam nitrile is a special, patented formulation of nitrile coating which allows our gloves (where this coating is used) to be fully breathable. The coating can be applied precisely and is thin, which means users can enjoy maximum dexterity and flexibility.
What are the dots for on MaxiFlex® Endurance™?
The micro-dots help provide extra cushioning for repetitive tasks, enabling you to work for longer while enjoying high levels of comfort.
Does the vitamin E and aloe vera wash out of MaxiFlex® Active™?
No they do not; you can launder MaxiFlex® Active™ and the encapsulated ingredients will not wash out, allowing you to enjoy the benefits wash, after wash, after wash.
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.
