ATG work gloves for different working conditions

ATG work gloves cover tasks ranging from handling small components to working with sharp materials, wet surfaces or chemicals. Start with the hazards involved: do you need precise finger movement, resistance to cuts, a grip on oily parts or protection against a specific substance? These requirements call for different glove constructions. Check the individual product description for the intended use, coating, coverage and protection ratings rather than choosing by appearance alone.

Choosing between MaxiFlex®, MaxiCut®, MaxiDry® and MaxiChem®

The ATG range includes glove families with different priorities. MaxiFlex® is designed for precision handling in dry conditions, making it relevant for assembly, picking and similar tasks where dexterity matters. MaxiCut® focuses on cut resistance, but the protection level varies by model and should match the material being handled. MaxiDry® is intended for handling in wet or oily conditions, while MaxiChem® is developed for chemical handling. For chemical work, always verify compatibility with the actual substance, its concentration and the expected contact time. A glove's family name alone is not enough to establish suitability.

Check fit, coating and protection before buying

Choose ATG gloves in a size that allows natural hand movement without loose material bunching around the fingertips. A close, comfortable fit helps with handling small parts, while excessive tightness can restrict movement. Coating coverage also matters: a coated palm with an uncoated back serves a different purpose from a glove with more extensive liquid-resistant coverage. Where listed, compare EN 388 ratings for mechanical risks and EN ISO 374 information for chemical protection. Cut resistance does not mean cut-proof, and a liquid-resistant glove is not automatically suitable for every chemical. Follow the model-specific care and inspection instructions, and replace gloves when damage or wear compromises their protection.
