Technora chafe sleeve®

Description

The Technora chafe sleeve reduces the wear of the rope et and provides a good gripin clutchesTechnora® has an excellent resistance to overheating (450°) and abrasion : It is friction resistant on a winch when eased brutally.

Its high friction coefficient means that fibres grip to avoid slipping in clutches.

The Technora ® chafe sleeve is made of aramide fibresrenowned for their excellent heat resistance (up to 450°C). Les aramid fibres also have a high friction coefficient, which means that they are not very slippery: the fibres “grip” the surface that they rub against. Resistance to overheating and Technora®’s high friction, make it ideal for winch chafe sleeves on large sailing yachts. A brutal ease d’sheet de genoaleads to an overheating of the rope which may melt! The robust structure of the Technora ® chafe sleeve, with its high friction coefficient, provides a further advantage: the rope does not slip around the winch. This is also why clutches and cleat chafe sleeves are made of Technora ®.

Aramid fibres have a limited lifespan due to their low UV resistance..
