EN 374
Chemical | Level of Resistance |
n-Heptane | Level 6 (480 mins) |
Sodium Hydroxide | Level 6 (480 mins) |
Sulphuric Acid | Level 4 (120 mins) |
Nitric Acid | Level 4 (120 mins) |
Acetic Acid | Level 3 (60 mins) |
Ammonia | Level 6 (480 mins) |
What Does this Mean?
You can view a full explanatory guide by clicking the "what is EN 374" tab at the top of the page. Briefly, the level 6 achieved by n-Heptane, sodium hydroxide and ammonia, mean that the gloves will protect the hands for at least eight hours, while the chemicals with lesser levels will protect the hands for between one hour and two hours.
What Else Will the MaxiChem Gauntlet Gloves Protect Against?
The MaxiChem Gloves feature a tough nitrile rubber liner and a nylon inner liner, than work to provide comfort, protection and durability. This means that the gloves provide so much more than chemical resistance, including protection against oils, liquids and grease. Finally, the gloves are certified under EN 388, meaning that the gloves can protect the hands against mechanical risks and threats.
EN 388
Hazard | Level of Resistance |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
What Does this Mean?
These gloves offer outstanding protection against abrasion, ensuring that you can use the gloves against rough materials without damage to the gloves or your hands. Good protection against tears offers durability too, while standard protection against cuts and punctures means that your hands should stay safe in most low-risk mechanical tasks.

Gloves from ATG can be washed safely in the following way:
1. Use commercial laundry soap or detergent (do NOT use dry cleaning solutions!)
2. Wash in warm to medium hot water, do not exceed 104°F (40°C)
3. Wash for 10 minutes
4. Rinse in cold water.
5. Repeat wash and rinse if soiling is especially heavy
6. Rinse in cold water
7. Tumble dry - maximum temperature 140°F (60°C)
When laundering gloves that have especially heavy dirt or grease, include several pieces of heavy canvas in the second wash cycle - friction from the canvas against the gloves helps loosen and remove deep dirt.
IMPORTANT NOTE
During the use of gloves and the laundering process glove performance can and will deteriorate. For critical areas requiring cut and heat resistance tests need to be conducted after use and laundering to ensure that the performance criteria still meet the needs of those using the glove. Safety Gloves can accept no liability once gloves have been washed.
