SO WHAT’S ALL THE BUZZ ABOUT, ANYWAYS?Over the past few years, you’ve probablyheard about paracord all over the media,and heard rave reviews from expertsworldwide for its many diverse utility uses.In fact, Bear Grylls recently sang itspraises in his very first episode of“Running Wild”.One of the many outstanding and mostoften talked about properties of paracord is its strength, relative to its size.This is why military units all over the world have been using paracord fordecades.A paracord’s strength is directly attributed to the individualcomponents that make up the hank the internal braided strands, the externalbraided sheath, as well as the type of material used to create those items.MIL-SPEC Paracord is a generic term, typically referring to MilitarySpecification paracord, officially known as MIL-C-5040 Rev. H (or MIL-C-5040H). However, as the term “Mil-Spec” is generic, many unscrupulous vendorstry to pass their lesser-quality Commercial paracord as “official”, hoping thatyou won’t know the difference.THE HISTORY OF PARACORDParachute cord (also known as paracord or 550 cordwhen referring to Type III paracord) is a lightweightNylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspensionlines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in thefield, paratroopers found this cord useful for manyother tasks, so they would cut the cord from theirparachutes after jumping into enemy territory, andstore it in their packs for future use.Today, it is used as a general purpose utility cord byboth military personnel and civilians, in almost every country. From campingand hiking, to home and auto use, to crafting – there is nothing that thisversatile cord can’t be used for. It was even used by astronauts during the82nd Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.Page 6
MIL-SPEC VS. COMMERCIAL PARACORDAll US Military issue paracord must be made to the demanding specificationsof the now inactive MIL-C-5040-H spec, and can be found in six types: I, IA,II, IIA, III, and IV. Types IA and IIA are composed solely of a sheath withouta core. Type III, a type commonly found in use, is nominally rated with aminimum breaking strength of 550 pounds, thus the nickname “550 cord” or“550 paracord”. Titan Paracord's Military 550 Paracord is a MIL-C-5040-H,Type III Nylon paracord that meets and exceeds these demandingspecifications. In fact, the tensile strength of our 550 cord actually rates atover 620 lbs.MIL-SPEC PARACORDThe official US military specification MIL-C-5040H outlines a number ofparameters to which the final product must conform. Although it containsspecific denier figures for the sheath strands and inner yarns, there are nooverall diameter requirements for the cord itself. Also, since most MIL-C5040-H paracord is manufactured in the U.S., the cost of production alone isclose to 7.00. Below is a table of the most important elements from thespecification:COMMERCIAL PARACORDCommercial paracord on the other hand, is any paracord that does not meetor follow the requirements set forth in the MIL-C-5040H specification. Ingeneral, if you’re purchasing 100 feet of paracord for 5.00 – 9.00, you’repurchasing Commercial paracord.Commercial paracord is generally acceptable for crafting and light utility use.But since there is no official specification for Commercial paracord, you reallynever know what you’re getting.Page 7
