Work gloves made of high-strength HPPE, a special non-cutting filament, which makes these gloves ideal for handling sharp metal objects, blades, sheet metal and glass. Equipped with an elastic cuff and nitrile coating, Kapriol cut-resistant gloves guarantee protection and safety.
Super Cut gloves also allow the professional to use touchscreen devices such as smartphones and tablets without having to remove the gloves.

Materials
HPPE
An extremely strong synthetic fiber made from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene. HPPE stands for HighPerformance Polyethylene. It is a soft, lightweight, and long-lasting fiber. It offers high cut and tensile resistance (stronger than steel by weight) and extreme abrasion resistance. It is also resistant to chemicals.
Nitrile coating
Nitrile is a synthetic rubber resistant to oils, solvents, abrasions, and punctures, maintaining elasticity and flexibility even at low temperatures. Hypoallergenic, it guarantees comfort, durability, and excellent grip on dry or oily objects, making it ideal for safe and effective work gloves.
Performance
Touchscreen
Glove that allows the use of touchscreen devices without removing it from the hand, ensuring full functionality of smartphones and tablets during operations.
HPPE-F
High-performance HPPE fiber cut-resistant properties with cut resistance level F according to EN ISO 13997:1999, designed to provide maximum protection against cuts when working with very sharp materials or in high-risk environments.

Selection guide
EN 388:2016 standard classifies protective gloves according to their resistance against mechanical risks. The resistance against ABRASION - CUT - TEAR - PERFORATION must appear in the pictogram relating to the standard. The revision of the previous standard (EN 388:2003) has made changes to the test procedures, especially for the CUT test, including an additional test.
Test performed to provide an indication about the cut protection. The test is performed using a circular blade that moves on the surface of the gloves with a 5 newton pressure (Coup Test). The evaluation, from 1 to 5, is measured by calculating the number of cycles until the moment in which the blade penetrates the fabric.
For high cut resistance gloves (Coup Test 4 o 5) an additional test (EN ISO 13997) is carried out with a straight blade from which the force required to penetrate the fabric is detected. The value is expressed from A to F (F is the highest value).
The glove cuff is available in 5 different colors for quick and easy identification of available sizes:
- Yellow size 7
- Black size 8
- Orange size 9
- Grey size 10
- Brown size 11
The gauge represents the fineness of the knit used to create the glove’s fabric lining. It is a fundamental parameter in determining the dexterity, comfort, and protection level of the glove. The higher the gauge, the finer and more compact the knit.
The gauge directly impacts three key aspects: dexterity, comfort, and resistance.
HIGH GAUGES: 15G > 18G
- Characterized by a very thin and lightweight knit, offering high tactile sensitivity and superior ergonomics. Ideal for precision
work, assembly, electronics, and handling small components.
MEDIUM GAUGES: 10G > 13G
- Offer an optimal balance between protection, flexibility, and durability. Suitable for logistics, maintenance, light industry,
construction, and general-purpose applications.
LOW GAUGES: 7G > 9G
- Characterized by a thicker and more robust knit, designed for heavy-duty use requiring greater mechanical resistance, such as
construction, carpentry, and heavy material handling.
The choice of gauge enables identification of the highestperforming KAPRIOL glove for each activity, optimizing comfort, safety, and dexterity.
In this catalogue, it serves as an essential indicator to guide the customer toward the most appropriate technical solution.
