Characteristics:Kevlar® 49 base with proprietary polyurethane singlecoating. This is a very durable cord for use in extreme conditions. The poly coating allows this cord to hold up outdoors very well by shielding the Kevlar from harmful UV damage.Current applications include:Military uses in ocean environments.Strain relief in optical cables.Recreation applicationsSurvival cordKevlar is the registered trademark for a para-aramid synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora. Developed at DuPont in 1965, this high strength material was first commercially used in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires. Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components.Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armorbecause of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel on an equal weight b
