Latex Guide

At Ultimax, grip begins with chemistry — not coincidence. Our Latex Architecture system is a professional-grade formulation framework that defines how each latex family performs across variables like surface texture, density, microcell compression, and adhesive response in different weather conditions.

Every foam is engineered to balance grip, rebound, and durability in exact ratios suited to elite and developing keepers alike. From the Tenaxo Apex™ series, optimized for pro-level adhesion and fingertip control, to the DualTouch™ compound designed for extended training wear, each latex is purpose-built and rigorously tested under real match conditions.

The result: a complete grip ecosystem that ensures consistent performance, precise handling feedback, and enhanced energy absorption across all glove tiers.

Below is the full Ultimax Latex Family — each tier representing a distinct balance of adhesion, feel,
and longevity to match every style of goalkeeper.
