Jacket

A jacket, sleeve or cover mainly serves to keep the core yarn strands together, it cannot be considered to be a protection sleeve. Depending on the material you choose, a cover could protect the core material from getting damaged in an early stage but will definitely NOT prevent the core to get damaged. Appropriate supplementary protections (on the bearing points, sharp objects etc.) are recommended as stated in the EN Standard 1492-2 for round slings. Extreema® jackets can also be used for the protection of your braided mooring or winching ropes and in the spliced eye constructions!

We offer four different options to cover the round sling.

As a result of its high resistance against cuts, abrasions and puncture Dyneema® is already used in many industries such as military and extreme sports. White is the standard color Dyneema® comes in.

Dyneema® can also be delivered in the color black. On a black jacket stains and damages will be less visible. The features are the same for the black Dyneema® jacket.

Cordura®/Nylon comes in the color black. The super-durable fiber is a primary ingredient in many of the world’s leading high-performance gear. Cordura®/Nylon is known for its resistance to abrasions, tears and scuffs. The jacket will be a perfect fit for lifting objects with higher temperature ranges: it has a service temperature range from -40°C up to +100°C , while still maintaining abrasion, wear and puncture resistant. The cut as well as chemical resistance of the Cordura®/Nylon cover & protections is very limited. Please contact our technical sales advisors for detailed information.

A polyester jacket is made from high quality 100 % polyester yarn and can be delivered in various jacket options. They can be used for lifting situations with a temperature range from -40 °C to +100  °C. Polyester takes up water and the color of polyester jackets is orange.

The Extreema® XL jacket is the perfect solution to protect your sling in contact with sharp edges. The jacket is made of 100 % Dyneema® and has the highest abrasion resistance of any fiber, excellent dynamic toughness, flex fatigue resistance and very low elongation. The protection has superior cut, puncture and tear resistance.
