High Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) has a tensile strength 15 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis. Hand and arm protection made with HPPE is lightweight, comfortable and abrasion- and cut-resistant. Tests have shown that gloves made with HPPE fibers have up to 20 times the abrasion resistance of gloves made with spun Aramid yarns. This gray, 13-gauge, HPPE glove features a gray polyurethane (PU) palm coating and A2 cut level.
