Strongest there is

Chafe protection engineered for demanding rope applications

ProChafe designs and manufactures protection sleeves that shield mooring lines and other synthetic ropes from abrasion — in offshore operations, fisheries and aquaculture.

The product range

Three sleeve systems with one job: keeping abrasion away from the rope. Woven from high-performance fibres and made to fit your line.

CPRO Mooring H&L sleeve protecting a mooring line where it crosses a painted steel edge on a vessel

CPRO Mooring H&L

An openable hook & loop sleeve with different surface friction inside and out: the inner layer lets the rope adjust under load, while the outer face minimises movement against the contact surface.

UHMWPE (white) and polyester (black)

CPRO Pure H&L sleeve fitted over the eye splice of a yellow twelve-strand synthetic rope

CPRO Pure H&L

A hook & loop sleeve woven from 100% UHMWPE with low friction on both faces. Light, floating and highly abrasion resistant — with optional coatings for further performance.

100% UHMWPE

CPRO Mooring Tube sleeve partly pulled back to show the green rope inside

CPRO Mooring Tube

A closed tubular sleeve with most of the features of CPRO Mooring H&L, normally fitted before the rope is spliced — at the factory or on site. Woven from UHMWPE, aramid and polyester.

The fabric behind the protection

Anyone can make a sleeve. What sets ProChafe apart is the fabric it is made of: proprietary CPRO™ weaves engineered for abrasion, friction control and cyclic loading — now denser, tougher and cycle-tested.

Why ProChafe

Proven high-performance fibres

Sleeves woven from UHMWPE, aramid and polyester, with optional coatings to tune friction and abrasion performance.

Fitted in the field

Hook & loop sleeves open and close on the rope: installed, inspected and replaced without re-splicing or unrigging the line.

Made to measure

Custom fit to the rope diameter and manufactured in the length you need — from short wear points to long protected sections.

At home in seawater

The sleeves do not absorb water, and the 100% UHMWPE ranges float. Hook & loop fastening is proven in the maritime environment.

Applications

Wherever synthetic ropes bear on a contact surface, abrasion concentrates. ProChafe sleeves take that wear instead of the line.

Offshore

Mooring lines carry high loads through contact points on vessels and structures. Replaceable sleeves take the wear instead of the line.

Fisheries

Working ropes run over rails and deck equipment in wet, abrasive conditions. Sleeves protect the sections that take the wear.

Aquaculture

Farm moorings stay deployed over long periods. Sleeves extend line life and open in place for inspection.
