Paracord can be classified into one of these three categories: nylon paracord, sisal paracord, and cotton paracord.

So how do you know which nylon paracord tack shape to choose if you're not an expert? All you have to do is know what features to look for in a paracord.

Tensile strength:- Individual synthetic threads that span the entire length contribute to the tear resistance of nylon paracord. This makes nylon paracord ideal for lifting heavy loads during anchoring, rescue operations, and trawling.

Due to its short natural fibers, sisal paracord does not have high tensile strength. You can tell by feeling the blurred surface with your hand.

Placing cotton paracord in a very hot area will not affect its tensile strength. But like sisal paracord, it doesn't have the best tear strength due to its short natural fibers. This type of paracord is easier to grip when wet.

Impact resistance:- Nylon paracord can return to its original length if it is suddenly stretched with greater force. The amount of strain it can absorb does not affect its tensile strength. This is why a nylon paracord will not tear when stretched.

Although sisal paracord has different diameters, it requires a larger diameter so that it does not break easily when stretched. Cotton paracord can easily tear if pulled too hard because of its softness.

Cost-effective:- Nylon paracord is a strong yet lightweight synthetic rope. As a result, it has a longer service life than other cables made from natural fibers. Nylon paracord rope can also be used as a jumping rope because it is cheap to buy.
