WHAT EN SAFETY STANDARDS DO THE MAXIFLEX ULTIMATE GLOVES COMPLY WITH?
Thanks to MaxiFlex's ErgoTech technology, the Ultimate Gloves are lightweight for optimal dexterity, yet provide reliable protection against low to medium level risks. Their mechanical resistance can be broken down according to their EN 388 scores, which demonstrate resistance to cuts, abrasions, tears and punctures. The EN 388 rating of the MaxiFlex Ultimate Gloves is as follows:
EN 388
Hazard | Level of Resistance |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 3 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | Level A |
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This means that the gloves attain the highest possible level of abrasion resistance, and a very high level of tear resistance. As a result, the glove's material can withstand scratches and scrapes without becoming damaged, while also protecting the user from such injuries. The gloves therefore have great longevity and are suitable for handling coarse or rough materials.
