What is WEB-TEC Chafe Gear?

WEB-TEC chafe gear is an extremely abrasion-resistant ballistic chafe sleeve that can be easily adjusted and/or moved on synthetic ropes, used by hundreds of marine towing companies around the world. WEB-TEC can also be found on our own Navy’s “T-AKE” Vessels and Heavy Lift Ships. Our chafe gear is extremely lightweight, buoyant, and comes in two grades: WT-grade or EX-grade.

WEB-TEC offers many advantages over standard chafe gear. Its inherent “memory” combats sleeve binding, and its urethane-coated inside and industrial-grade exterior nylon cover greatly reduce friction and wear. With numerous advantages over the average line protection system, it’s hard to go wrong with WEB-TEC chafe gear.
