WTF Offering Solution Dyed, Coreless 550 Paracord

Friday, May 24th, 2024

WTF is excited to offer coreless, Berry & NIR compliant 550 paracord.  WTF’s paracord is made in the USA with solution dyed, INVISTA CORDURA® TRUELOCK™ yarn.  Solution dyed, as opposed to piece dyed, nylon yarn is inherently NIR compliant.  Excellent for zipper pulls, harness rigging, lacing, and more.  Because it is coreless, it’s more like a flat tubular webbing approx 2mm x 5mm as shown in the product pictures.

A coreless cord meters more consistently in automatic strip cutters and drastically reduces touch labor associated with gutting and heat sealing secondary ops.

Is it milspec?  Because PIA-C-5040 does not allow for solution dyed yarn, we can’t call this milspec.  This is otherwise made to as near milspec / PIA-C-5040 (superseding MIL-C-5040H) as possible.  If we didn’t use solution dyed yarn, it would be milspec.  In an ongoing effort for signature reduction, we chose solution dyed yarn for NIR compliance.
