HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH: 950lb Strong and light: weight for weight, Technora is 8 times stronger than steel and 3 times stronger than fiberglass, polyester or nylon yarns.
FATIGUE RESISTANCE: Shows little loss of strength even during repeated abrasion, flexing and stretching
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY: Stiff and highly oriented molecular structure leads to a high modulus of elasticity, low creep and low stress relaxation. Low thermal shrinkage
HEAT RESISTANCE: Thermal decomposition threshold of 930F, so Technora can be used at 392F for long periods. At 482F, it maintains more than half of its room-temperature tensile strength
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Highly resistant to acids, alkalis and organic solvents; not vulnerable to damage caused by steam or sea water
The Technora 950lb Survival Cord by ASR Tactical is an essential item to pack with for EDC, emergency preparedness, and ultralight backpacking. It is strong and compact while being 8x stronger than steel by weight, with a thermal decomposition threshold of 930 degrees Fahrenheit, and is totally resistant to acids, alkalis, and seawater. While Technora Survival Cord is abrasion resistant, has a low creep and low thermal shrinkage with excellent dimensional stability; the main benefit of ASR Tactical Terchnora 950lb Survival Cord is that it is stronger and more durable than standard 550lb paracord, at less than half the diameter. Technora line features a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating. This coating protects the Technora from UV damage, increases abrasion resistance and flexibility, giving better knot strength, and chemical resistance. It weighs almost nothing and takes up little space, so it is a must-have for your survival kit. Being that it is extremely heat resistant, it can be used as a friction saw for cutting through flex cuff handcuffs and PVC pipe. Other applications for Technora Survival Cord include aerial surveillance balloons, motion picture gimbaled lines for remote video cameras, recreation Applications, heavy duty fishing assist cords and leaders.
