Spec 550 Paracord (Type III MIL-C-5040H) is a cord made by a certified
USA Government contractor like the Military uses. This cord is commonly
known as Mil Spec 550 Parachute Cord, Mil Spec 550 Paracord or Mil Spec
Paracord. There is an ID marker strand in Mil Spec Paracord used to
identify the manufacturer. Some of our photos of Mil Spec Cord shows the
inner strands. Even if a cord has a marker strand you can still check
it's authenticity by looking at the seven inner strands. When you
unravel a inner strand on genuine Mil Spec cord it will have three
pieces of cord per strand. Mil Spec cord has three ply (not two) inner
strands. This 100% Nylon cord is smooth and pliable which makes it nice
to handle. The high 550 lb. tensile strength gives it superior strength
and durability. It resists rot, mold, mildew and UV damage. Assorted
solid and camouflage colors are available. The many uses it has includes
making keychains,lanyards, belts, slings, hammocks, shoe laces, gear
repairs, survival bracelets and projects only limited by the
imagination.
