Crafted from high-tenacity polyester, this accessory cord is designed to deliver superior performance in every aspect. The high-quality material provides exceptional tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, and extended service life. Additionally, the low water absorption makes the 8mm accessory cord highly adaptable for outdoor activities.
The double braid construction, with a core and sheath rope, conforms to EN 564 and UIAA 102 standards. This design not only makes the cord more flexible and easier to handle but also enhances its overall durability. The flexible and easy-to-tie nature of the 8mm Accessory Cord allows users to create a wide variety of hitches and knots, such as prusik hitches for rappelling or pulley systems, double fisherman's knots to join two ends, and figure-8 on a bight to form an end loop. Additionally, the cord is compatible with main ropes of 3/8-1/2 inches, providing a secure grip.
Specifications-wise, the 8mm accessory cord has a diameter of 5/16 inch and is available in lengths of 20 feet, 50 feet, and 100 feet. Crafted from 100% high-tenacity polyester, the cord has a tensile strength of 17kN / 3820Lbf and a linear weight of 48.7g per meter / 3.27lb per 100 feet. It is CE 1019 EN 564 and UIAA 102 certified.
It's important to note that this 8mm accessory cord is not intended for use as a dynamic rope or a static rope that withstands impact force generated by a fall in climbing, rappelling, or other rope access activities. It is an EN564 accessory cord, designed for various outdoor recreational uses.
For cutting and sealing the cord, it is recommended to tightly bind the cut point with masking tape or regular electrical tape, use a sharp knife or a hot knife to cut through the cord, and then heat the cord with a lighter or candle to melt and self-seal the polyester fibers at the end. This process ensures a flat and neat cut without fraying.
The 8mm Accessory Cord by GM CLIMBING is widely used in outdoor recreational activities, such as rock climbing, tree care, hunting, firefighting, and slacklining. It is a versatile and high-performance cord that can be used to create prusik cords, extending tethers, anchors, and practice knots. It can also be used to make rope swings for family fun.
GM CLIMBING conducts a strict annual inspection program to ensure the safety and durability of their 8mm Accessory Cord, which is both CE and UIAA certified. The company's goal is to provide affordable and high-quality gear that enables more people to enjoy the outdoors safely and efficiently.
