HPPE Nitrile Coated Cut Resistant Gloves
13-gauge HPPE seamless liner with full nitrile palm coating. CE EN388 4543 certified, ANSI A4 cut resistant, oil resistant. Built for automotive, glass, sheet metal, and precision manufacturing. FOB Qingdao. MOQ 6,000 pairs.
EN388 4543 Performance Breakdown
The CE EN388:2016+A1:2018 standard tests four mechanical hazards. The 4543 rating tells you exactly how this glove performs in each category:
| Test | Level | Result | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 | 8,000 cycles | Excellent durability — 4x the industry minimum. Suitable for prolonged industrial use without premature wear-through. |
| Coup Cut Resistance | Level 5 | Index 20+ | Highest rating under circular blade test. Note: HPPE fibers can generate heat during extended Coup testing — use ISO 13997 TDM result for precise HPPE cut resistance. |
| Tear Resistance | Level 4 | 75 Newtons | Strong resistance to tearing — 3x the Level 1 minimum. Resists snagging on sharp edges and rough surfaces. |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 3 | 100 Newtons | Solid protection against nails, wires, and similar puncturing hazards common in automotive and metal work. |
| ISO 13997 TDM | Level F | ≥22N | Precise cut resistance measured under straight blade. The standard reference for HPPE/gloves where Coup test gives artificially low readings due to fiber heat generation. |
Pricing tiers reflect how coating, cuff and order volume affect your rate — every order is quoted individually. Send your specification and we reply with a formal FOB quotation within 24 hours.
The "X" notation in EN388 4543X means Coup test was not applicable or inconclusive (typical for HPPE) — ISO 13997 TDM Level F is the governing cut resistance specification.
Material & Construction
13-Gauge HPPE Seamless Liner
High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) — also known as UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene) — forms the glove's 13-gauge seamless knit shell. This lightweight liner provides exceptional cut resistance at just a fraction of the weight of traditional materials.
- 15x stronger than steel at equal weight
- Seamless knit eliminates interior seams that cause fatigue
- 13-gauge construction balances dexterity with protection
- Machine washable (unlike leather or aramid alternatives)
- Maintains performance after multiple wash cycles
Full Nitrile Palm Coating
The nitrile coating covers the entire palm and fingers — not just the palm — providing superior grip on oily, wet, or greasy surfaces. Unlike latex, nitrile is chemical-resistant, latex-free (suitable for food handling), and does not cause allergic reactions.
- Full nitrile coverage (palm + fingers) for oil resistance
- Sandy finish texture for dry and wet grip
- Breathable back-of-hand allows heat dissipation
- Latex-free — no Type I latex allergy risk
- Available in grey, black, blue/black custom colors

Applications & Industries
YZ-N301 is designed for workers who face both cut hazards and oil exposure — a common combination in manufacturing environments. OSHA 1910.138 requires appropriate hand protection in all general industry workplaces.
Automotive Assembly
Assembly line handling of oily metal parts, trim installation, and quality control stations. The nitrile palm grips oily surfaces while HPPE liner protects against sharp edges on stamped components.
OSHA 1910.138 CompliantGlass Manufacturing
Sheet glass handling, glass cutting stations, and glazing operations. Cut Level 5 protection against glass edges; nitrile coating prevents oil smudges and maintains grip on smooth glass surfaces.
ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A4Sheet Metal Work
Metal stamping, pressing, and fabrication where sharp metal edges pose cut hazards. The Level 4 tear resistance protects against snagging on rough metal surfaces.
EN388 4543CNC & Machining
CNC machine operation, part handling, and tool changes. The combination of cut resistance, oil grip, and dexterity makes this a versatile choice for machining environments.
ISO 13997 Level FEquipment Maintenance
Preventive and corrective maintenance on machinery with oily components. Full nitrile palm provides a barrier against metalworking fluids and lubricants.
Oil ResistantRazor Blade & Thin Materials
Paper, film, foil, and composite material handling in packaging and printing industries. High cut resistance at thin gauges without compromising tactile sensitivity.
Cut Level 5HPPE vs Alternative Cut-Resistant Materials
Understanding how HPPE compares to other common cut-resistant materials helps you evaluate value and performance trade-offs:
| Material | Cut Resistance | Weight | Heat Resistance | Chemical Resistance | Machine Wash | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HPPE (YZ-N301) | ANSI A4 / Level F | Very Light | Poor (<80°C) | Excellent (nitrile) | Yes | $$$ |
| Steel Mesh | Very High | Heavy | Excellent | Fair (rust risk) | No | $$$$$ |
| Kevlar / Aramid | ANSI A3-A5 | Light | Excellent (>400°C) | Poor (degrades in bleach) | Limited | $$$$ |
| Glass Fiber | ANSI A2-A4 | Medium | Good | Good | Yes | $$ |
| Composite (HPPE+Steel+Glass) | ANSI A6-A9 | Medium-Heavy | Good | Good | Limited | $$$$$$ |
HPPE recommendation: Best value for general-purpose cut + oil resistance. Lightweight, washable, and cost-effective compared to aramid or composite alternatives. Not recommended for high-heat environments (above 80°C) — for welding/heat hazards, see our EN407 heat-resistant gloves.
