What Are ATG's Core Objectives?
With a strong focus on improving the overall user experience with their gloves, ATG have cleverly developed and delivered a series of state-of-the-art glove technologies. Their three main objectives are to enhance the following:
- Comfort
- Performance
- Cleanliness
For many of us, choosing the right pair of gloves can be difficult - especially when there are so many types to choose from! Our guide provides a detailed, straightforward breakdown of each technology and their properties, ensuring you make the best choice for your specific industry and requirements.
Technologies to Maximise Your Comfort
To ensure you can work comfortably and efficiently in any environment, ATG have created advanced technologies which prioritise user comfort. These are as follows:
AIRtech:
A common complaint of frequent safety glove wearers is the build up of heat inside gloves when completing tasks. Designed to prevent this from happening, ATG came up with AIRtech. It's designed in the form of a patented, micro-foam nitrile coating, crafted with tiny bubbles that create several micro-tunnels in which heat can naturally escape.
This design allows for what is referred to as 360° breathability, where air can circulate freely across the whole hand to keep them cool and comfortable.
A word from ATG: "Our customers have told us that there is nothing like it on the market today."
Here at SafetyGloves.co.uk, we have several gloves that are constructed using the AIRtech technology. See below to explore our ATG AIRtech gloves.

TRItech:
For those working in laboratories, the cleaning industry and frequently with chemicals, it's vital to have gloves that offer good chemical resistance without compromising on comfort. Due to the demand for comfortable chemical-resistant gloves, ATG carefully curated TRItech.
TRItech is made using a three-layer composite which is both strong and flexible, allowing you a full range of movement and agility while completing higher risk tasks.
A word from ATG: "More comfort, more performance, better protection."
Take a look at the pair of gloves below to see the TRItech in action!

ERGOtech:
When completing activities that require the full use of your hands over extended periods, fatigue is never too far away. To ensure your hands remain energised and agile, ATG created ERGOtech. The compounds used to create this technology are crafted to match the movement, form and fit of your hands as closely as possible.
This innovative, life-like technology ensures you can complete tasks that require dexterity, flexibility and tactile sensitivity without the risk of your hands becoming fatigued, boosting both your comfort and performance.
A word from ATG: "ERGOtech focuses on making the glove work like a second skin."
Here at SafetyGloves.co.uk, we have a selection of gloves that were crafted using ERGOtech. Take a look at a few examples below.

AD-APT:
ATG's research shows that our hands carry 83% more sweat glands per square centimetre than the rest of our bodies! AD-APT was created as a temperature-regulating solution for those who frequently wear safety gloves, and cleverly self-activates as soon as it detects movement or increased temperature in the hands.
As you complete various activities and begin to build up sweat, the AD-APT technology releases a natural, cooling agent to keep your hands at a comfortable temperature. This means that no matter how laborious the task or how warm it is outside, you can continue to work comfortably.

Technologies to Enhance Your Performance
The next set of ATG's technologies are developed to ensure you reach your maximum potential, no matter the industry or task at hand. These technologies are as follows:
CUTtech:
CUTtech is a result of high-performance fibres and yarns twisted and plaited into lightweight and flexible compounds. When applied to safety gloves, not only do these gloves deliver a spectrum of cut-resistant protection needed, they offer the comfort and moveability needed to complete more dangerous tasks.
ATG have recently updated their range of CUTtech gloves by including nitrile reinforcements between the forefinger and thumb. Placing this in the area most prone to damage, this addition ensures your gloves remain functional and allow you to handle sharps with confidence.
A word from ATG: "They are engineered to perform."

This technology is often used with gloves that also feature CUTtech, highlighting how having a strong grip can help to reduce the risk of cuts and injuries when handling sharps and other dangerous components.
