Paracord Purple 4mm x 40m

Paracord Purple 4mm x 40m is a strong and lightweight elastic line made of polyamide in the core and polyester multifilament in the outer sheath. The name Paracord comes from American parachutists and the lines that hold the parachute. These lines were used by parachutists and other military personnel for general work and were appreciated for their strength and flexibility. Paracord is also known as 550 cord or parachute cord. Originally, the line should have polyamide in both the core and outer sheath.

Our Paracord has 7 parallel polyamide lines in the core and a braided polyester sheath. The polyamide material is very strong and has some stretch, as one does not want a rope that is too stiff. The tightly braided outer sheath makes the paracord line very smooth, flexible, and easy to handle. The cord has excellent resistance to abrasion, UV light, tension, water, and chemicals.

Examples of uses:

• Lashings and bindings.
• Tying bracelets and jewelry.
• Sailor work and knots.
• Scout work and various hobbies.
• Line for tarps, tents, and covers.
• Fishing line, survival line, repairs, traps, and various other "emergency situations.
