Jamaica Diamonds - Dip-Dye Paracord 550 Type III (30 m)
Polyester Dip-Dye Paracord, also called Polycord Dip-Dyed, is a Chinese look-alike of the well-known Us Made Paracord. From the outside, the Chinese paracord looks like the original paracord. It has the same thickness of 4mm and is visually almost identical.
The difference with real nylon paracord becomes more clear in the handle: This cord is a bit flatter, and has a more plastic-like, compared to real nylon paracord. Since recycled materials (recycled polyester) are used here instead of tested branded materials (nylon), the type III tensile strength of 550 pounds cannot be achieved either.
Please note: This cord does not reflect the quality you know from our USA Paracord. Rainbow Cord is a typical China product with all its advantages and disadvantages and not to compare with the USA Paracord. Some design effects ("rainbow cord", as well as all other effects where the cord is dyed after manufacture) can not be implemented with nylon (in the case of nylon, the colour pigment is mixed into the yarn). The polyester can NOT be welded with nylon paracord.
