What Chemicals Do the MaxiDry Gloves Protect Against?
The MaxiDry Gauntlet Gloves offer protection against a range of chemicals. To confirm their resistance, they have been tested to EN 374 standards and achieve an EN 374 score of JKLMNO. They also have an EN 374-5 rating meaning they can protect against micro-organism contamination. The chemicals they are resistant against are outlined in the table below:
EN 374
| Chemical | Level of Resistance |
| n-Heptane | Level 6 (480 mins) |
| Sodium Hydroxide (40%) | Level 6 (480 mins) |
| Sulphuric Acid (96%) | Level 4 (120 mins) |
What Does this Mean?
You can view a full guide to this standard by clicking the "what is EN 374" tab at the top of the page. Essentially, the level 6 achieved by n-Heptane and sodium hydroxide means the gloves will protect the hands for at least eight hours, while the level 4 for sulphuric acid means they offer about two hours of protection.
What Else Will the MaxiDry Gloves Protect Against?
The MaxiDry Gloves are composed of a resilient nylon liner and a full nitrile coating for maximum resistance against oils, liquids and grease on top of their chemical resistance. Finally, they also meet EN 388 standards for resistance against mechanical risks, including abrasions and tears. Their scores for this standard are shown in the table below:
EN 388
| Hazard | Level of Resistance |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
| Blade Cut | Level A |
What Does this Mean?
These gloves attain the highest possible level of abrasion resistance for fantastic protection against rough objects and scratches. This in addition to their mild level of tear resistance helps to ensure the gloves themselves are less likely to be damaged by scratches or tearing.
How Long Are the MaxiDry Gloves?
The MaxiDry Chemical Resistant Gloves are extra-long for extended protection against contact with oils, chemicals or other liquids. The approximate length is 300mmm which should cover most of the forearm. This helps prevent liquids from getting into the gloves when the hands and wrists are submerged.
How Much Grip Do the MaxiDry Gloves Provide?
A high level of grip is vital when dealing with potentially harmful chemicals. To achieve this, the MaxiDry Gloves feature Maxi Glove's own GRIPtech technology, for use in dry, wet or oily conditions. This technology consists of a micro-cup, non-grip finish, which creates traction between the gloves and objects for enhanced grip and control.
How Do the MaxiDry Gloves Protect Against Liquids?
The MaxiDry Gloves cover most of your lower forearm, helping to protect against spills, splash back and liquids rolling down the cuff. However, as they are slightly open at the top it is possible for liquids to enter, so gloves with tighter cuffs are recommended for high risk applications.
