For maximum protection in rough work environments, they have exceptional resistance against abrasions and tears, and good levels of cut and puncture resistance.

What's Included in My Purchase?

You'll receive 12 pairs of gloves in your purchase.

Which Size Gloves Should I Choose?

The MaxiCut Gloves are available in three different sizes, meaning that you should be able to find the size that's right for you. To measure your hand, measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand open and your fingers together as seen in the image below.

Where Can I Use the MaxiCut Oil-Resistant Gloves?

The MaxiCut Gloves have oil and water resistant palms and knuckles as well as high abrasion and tear resistance. As a result, they are ideal for working with rough materials or in dirty work environments. We would recommend these gloves in the following situations:

• Assembly
• Automotive
• Car mechanics
• Component handling
• Construction
• Demolition
• Engineering
• Fabrication
• Industrial gloves
• Light engineering
• Machinist
• Material handling
• Mechanics
• Metal handling
• Offshore oil
• Oil filtration
• Oil handling
• Oil operations
• Oil refining
• Packaging
• Railway maintenance
• Wind farm

Please note that this is only a list of recommendations and that the gloves have many other uses. They are incredibly resilient and offer good resistance against water and oils, making them suitable for any task where protection from dirt and mechanical risks is necessary.

How Resistant to Oil Are the MaxiCut 3/4 Coated Gloves?

The MaxiCut Gloves have a 3/4 coating that covers the palms, the fingers and the knuckles. This helps stop liquids from penetrating the gloves when users are working with oily or wet materials so hands stay clean and dry. However, the lower backs of the gloves and wrists are uncoated and it is recommended users avoid wetting these areas.

What Else Will the MaxiDry Gloves Protect Me From?

It isn't just oil that the MaxiDry Gloves will protect you from. They are also designed to offer a good level of resistance to the following:

• Abrasions
• Tears
• Oil
• Water
• Damp
• Grease

Why Should I Trust the MaxiCut 3/4 Coated Gloves?

For proof of the outstanding mechanical protection the MaxiCut Gloves offer, users can refer to their EN 388 ratings. This standard demonstrates how resistant a pair of gloves are to abrasions, cuts, tears and punctures. Following rigorous testing, the MaxiCut Gloves achieved the following scores:

EN 388

• 4443C

What Does This Mean?

According to this standard, the MaxiCut Gloves have the highest possible levels of abrasion and tear resistance, meaning they are suitable for dealing with rough or coarse objects. Additionally, these attributes show that they are durable enough to last due to their resistance to such damage. They also have good cut and puncture resistance for protection against mild splinters and lacerations.

Do These Gloves Provide Grip in Oily Conditions?

Oil and grease can make tools and materials slippery, increasing the risk of accidents and injury. To combat this, the nitrile coating of the MaxiCut Gloves have a non-slip, micro-cup finish for a more controlled grip in the palm and finger area. This ensures users can carry out handling tasks safely and securely, even in slippery conditions.

How Flexible Are the MaxiCut Gloves 34-505?

The liner of the MaxiCut Gloves is made of a combination of nylon and Spandex. The stretchy material accommodates the natural movements and contours of the hands, so user dexterity is completely maintained. Their flexibility should persist even if they become wet or oily.

How Will the MaxiCut Gloves Protect My Skin?

The MaxiCut Gloves have been certified by the Oeko-Tex Association as skin safe from the second they comes into contact with the skin. This rating proves that the gloves can keep skin cool, dry and safe even in warm or uncomfortable working environments. The Skin Health Alliance have also rated the full ATG range 'dermatologically safe'.

Will the Cuff of the MaxiCut Gloves Protect My Wrists?

The cuff on these gloves covers the wrist for barrier protection against dirt and oily surfaces. It also fits snugly so there is no large opening, preventing debris and other irritants from getting into the gloves for clean, dry hands. The length of the cuff varies with size, starting at 80mm for size 8.

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.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
