ATG®'s technology platforms are continuously developed by a core team that matches market research and marketing analysis with the latest technological developments. This forms the foundation upon which we continually improve the customer's experience through constant innovation.

Why? It is because we understand the complexity of choosing and implementing a hand protection program that works and is adopted by all. On one side, your workforce continually asks for gloves that are more comfortable whilst on the other side there is a focus to reduce injuries, the costs associated with those injuries and to improve worker efficiency.

We aim, via use of our technology platforms, to combine comfort and worker acceptance with performance and safety features. We have also recently added a "well being" technology platform that takes care of your hands during and after work.

Our products include technologies that follow one of three themes:

-Comfort

-Performance

-Cleanliness

These technologies are used individually or collectively to provide you with the glove that is guaranteed skin friendly thanks to our partnership with the Skin Health Alliance. All our gloves are designed to last and can be laundered to ensure that we are able to maintain our commitment to you of “value for money”.

COMFORT

Everytime we speak to people that wear gloves, the first thing they tell us is that they have to be comfortable, which is why we have two dedicated comfort platforms.

AD-APT®

The most intelligent way to keep gloved hands dry, cool and productive. The customer need that inspired us to develop this technology. One recurring demand arises in each and every conversation we have, comfort. Today 97 per cent of glove wearers claim that comfort is their number one priority when choosing gloves with the key challenge being sweaty hands. Why? The skin, the largest organ of our body, is used to regulate its temperature through thermoregulation (perspiration). On average, our skin contains 155 sweat glands per square centimeter; however, our hands have 83 per cent more sweat glands per square centimeter than the rest of our body. The back of our hands contains 200 sweat glands per square centimeter whilst on the palms of our hands there are 370 per square centimeter. Combine this with a gloved hand and it explains why sweaty hands remains an age-old problem.

AIRtech®  Delivering 360° breathability

AIRtech® has set the standard for breathability. It was designed and developed to enhance comfort by eliminating heat build up inside a glove. Our customers have told us that there is nothing like it on the market today. It allows them to wear the glove longer and more comfortably than anything they have ever used before. AIRtech® is delivered, where the coating is applied, through a patented micro-foam nitrile coating. These tiny bubbles provide a network of micro-tunnels for heat to dissipate naturally, allowing the hand to breath. AIRtech® enables what we refer to as 360° full hand breathability. Cool hands are happier, safer and more productive. Look for the AIRtech® logo.

ERGOtech® For reduced hand fatigue

ERGOtech® focuses on making the glove work like a second skin. ERGOtech® concentrates on maximising the form, fit and feel of our gloves, which results in a superior user experience. An example of this technology is our compounds. We have developed our compounds to conform to the hand which maximizes their flexibility during use. Wear a MaxiFlex® and you’ll see how the compound moulds to your fingers to offer exceptional dexterity, flexibility and tactile sensitivity.

We are continually studying the dynamics and dimensions of the hand as the basis for creating our own hand moulds which are used in the coating process. During our patented coating process, our highly trained and skilled engineers regulate the thickness of the coating, assuring it’s consistency across all parts of the glove where it is applied. We also strictly control how much of the coating is absorbed into the liner. Why? It ensures that only soft fibres on the inside of the glove come into contact with the user’s hand.

This attention to detail is also apparent when matching the liners to the formers used in the dipping process. Our proRange™, offering 7 sizes, from 5 (XXS) to 12 (XXXL)1 in palm, ¾, fully dipped and driver styles. It’s not a one liner fits all approach that is widely used in the industry. We utilize thirty four liners all of which are indvidually tailored to consider the compound composition used, dip line required and hand mould itself. The end result is the ultimate fitting glove.

ERGOtech® is designed, developed and integrated into our gloves to mimic the natural contours of the hand, to deliver ourstanding flexibility, dexterity and tactile sensitivity.

TRItech™ More comfort, More performance, Better protection

We believe that comfort and performance can sit together. This inspired us to develop a new way of making gloves, which brings previously unmatched comfort in chemical resistant work gloves. We call this revolutionary technology platform, TRItech™. TRItech™ uses 3 layers all of which have a unique and important purpose which are bonded together to create a strong yet flexible and comfortable composite.

PERFORMANCE 

Our performance platforms enable us to deliver safety characteristics that provide solutions where hazards may exist. This includes providing solutions to cut, thermal, liquids and grip hazards. These technologies can be used individually or collectively to provide uncompromised performance.

CUTtech® For protection against cuts

CUTtech® combines and blends high performance yarns and fibres to impart different levels of cut protection with the driving philosophy to deliver high levels of comfort and wearer satisfaction. We only source our fibre requirements from long term key partners. Once in-house, they are covered, twisted and plated at our production facility, the end result being innovative yarns and fibres that are light yet flexible. They are engineered to perform. Recently added to the CUTtech® range was a permanent nitrile reinforcement located between the thumb and first finger. This extend the wear in an inherently weak area of most gloves, which increases glove life and reduces cost-to-wear. It also offers additional cut protection and confidence when handling sharp edged parts and components. CUTtech®, transferring optimal cut resistance through innovative fibres.

DURAtech® Longer use saves you money

DURAtech® is a technology platform that makes gloves last longer. Why? Because long lasting gloves simply makes good economic sense but it’s not all about the durability. It’s also about making sure your gloves are fresh and clean so we’ve designed our gloves so they can be laundered. That way you’re able to make full use of the outstanding durability offered.

GRIPtech® For better performance

At ATG® we view grip as a key safety criteria. Our GRIPtech® “micro-cup” finish enhances grip properties making sure parts are handled more securely. In addition, it reduces hand fatigue associated with a lack of a proper grip. To obtain this highly efficient effect, a patented coating process is applied only where necessary, in order to enhance and maximize dexterity and flexibility.

This technology has been cleverly designed to support you in dry and/or oily environments. It is frequently used in conjunction with CUTtech® to strike the optimal balance between cut resistance and grip. If it doesn’t slip then it doesn’t cut. GRIPtech® decreases hand fatigue and increases safety.

LIQUItech® For protection against oils, liquids and chemicals

Many work areas today contain varying degrees of liquids including water, oils and many chemicals. The LIQUItech® barrier has been designed to safeguard you. It’s characterized by an industry leading coating technology, unique to ATG®, delivering lightweight, flexible coatings applied to very fine gauge seamless knit liners, with various coating weights. The combination of coating and seamless knitting technologies can be engineered to provide liquid repellence, along with low and high level chemical resistance, while retaining superb levels of comfort not normally associated with liquid repellent and chemical resistance gloves.

CLEANLINESS HandCare®
