The 7 Strand Core 4mm Solid Cyan 550 Polyester Paracord is a high-performance, multi-purpose rope engineered for reliability and durability in the most demanding situations. Manufactured to Type III specifications, this 4mm cord features a true 7-strand inner core enclosed in a tightly braided 32-strand polyester sheath, delivering a verified breaking strength of 550 lbs (250 kg)
Constructed from 100% high-tenacity polyester, this paracord offers significant advantages over standard nylon. It exhibits excellent resistance to UV radiation, moisture, abrasion, and common chemicals, ensuring it will not rot, mildew, or lose strength when wet.
The vibrant cyan color is achieved through a solution-dyed process, meaning the pigment is permanently fused into the fiber, preventing fading, running, or bleeding over time.
Its low-stretch properties (10-15% elongation) provide superior tension retention compared to nylon, making it ideal for applications where consistent hold is critical.The Paracord 550 is the essential cord for outdoor enthusiasts, crafters, and professionals who demand the best from their gear.
The internal construction of this Type III paracord features seven independent twisted polyester strands, providing enhanced strength distribution and improved reliability compared with ordinary cords with fewer core strands.
Unlike traditional nylon cords, polyester construction offers excellent dimensional stability and weather resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor users requiring dependable performance over long periods.
The polyester fibers provide strong resistance against sunlight exposure, helping maintain strength and appearance during outdoor use.
Polyester absorbs minimal water compared with nylon, allowing the cord to maintain a lighter weight and stable performance in wet environments.
The dense braided sheath protects the inner core from friction damage, extending service life during repeated handling.
The solid cyan color provides a fresh and highly visible appearance, making the cord easy to recognize in outdoor environments, gear storage, and equipment organization.
Its vibrant color makes it especially suitable for customized outdoor products, crafts, safety identification, and branded accessories.
