emma kites UHMWPE Braided Micro Cord Specification Material: 100% UHMWPE Fiber (Ultra High Weight Module Polyethylene) 15 times stronger than steel in a weight to strength ratio. Compare to Dyneema, Spectra or Amsteel. Elongation at work load: <1% Melting Pont: 266~277 ºF / 130~136 ºC Safe working temperature is below 176 ºF / 80 ºC Strength - Diameter - Weight: 100lb: 0.5mm(dia.) - 0.25Oz/100ft | 0.23g/m 220lb: 0.8mm(dia.) - 0.55Oz/100ft | 0.51g/m 350lb: 1.0mm(dia.) - 0.75Oz/100ft | 0.7g/m Packaging: On Spool Features 15 times stronger than steel wire on the weight to weight basis Highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals, UV Low stretch, low creep to resisit deformation under load Zero water absorption Floats on water Smooth Self-lubricatingsruface to resist tanglings For endless outddor uses: Whipping twine, to seize rope ends for extra security; Lock spliced eye to prevent it from being pulled out. Sewing thread/repair cord, for webbing stitching, heavy duty load-bearing equipment, canvas, backpacks, stuff sacks, tarps and covers Emergency fishing line Kite Line Outdoor utility cord Binding cords for DIY projects
100% UHMWPE Micro Cord with endless uses for outdoor applications. 0.5, 0.8mm and 1.0mm diameter, hollow braid, yielding high strength, with self-lubricating smooth surface and unbeatable abrasion resistance, UHMWPE Micro Cords excels most as whipping twine to bind rope ends and spliced eyes for extra security; durable stitching cord for webbings; tough sewing thread and repair cord for heavy canvas, tarps, backpacks, load-bearing equipment; Emergency fishing line and utility cords outdoors.
Best cords for anywhere extra protection from abrasion is required. UHMWPE is highly resistant to abrasion and wears, largely extending the abrading period when compared to nylon and polyester. Go for UHMWPE micro cords as whipping twine or repair cords when your ropes or load-bearing equipment tend to abrade quickly due to intense rubs against woods and rocks.
GO LIGHTER! 15 times stronger than steel wire on strength to weight basis, made of 100% UHMWPE (also known as different trade names, Dyneema, Spectra by different manufacturers), the micro cords are much less bulky and lighter than most other utility cords while delivering higher strength. The exceptional string helps you GO LIGHTER outdoors without compromising strength and performance.
UV RESISTANT! UHMWPE retains its super performance after long-term exposure to UV. Extremely high resistance to UV, enhanced by PU coating over the cords, superior to Aramid (Kevlar, Technora, Twaron) and to most high-tech fibers.Qualified for most outdoor applications, especially as the best repair cords for marine uses.
The most loved stunt kite line as it is, with <1% stretch at working load, UHMWPE micro cords are of the least stretch for receiving quick responses from kites and resist deformation under load for longer service life. Property of zero water absorption helps survive its unbeatable quality through the damp environment (kite flying at the beach). Self-lubricating smooth surface lets cord less prone to tangle, and makes sewing and stitching a snap.
