General Purpose Protective Sleeving

This product is a general purpose (GP) protective sleeving designed to shield high-performance ropes and lines from abrasion and heat damage. The sleeving is a hollow flat braid constructed from 32 or 48 plait Stealth fiber, which is a type of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE). The material is solution yarn dyed black for excellent colour fastness and is treated with a clear coating for enhanced durability and smoothness.

Primary Applications

This protective sleeving is essential for extending the life of valuable running lines and ropes in high-wear areas:

• Sailing Rigging: Protecting halyards and sheets where they run over turning blocks or through clutches.

• Winchlines: Shielding synthetic winchlines from sharp edges and excessive friction.

• Industrial Slings: Protecting lifting slings from abrasion when contacting rough loads.

• Areas of High Friction: Used wherever ropes are subject to constant rubbing or heat generation.

The UHMwPE material offers maximum protection in a flexible, low-profile sleeve.
