High Abrasion-Resistance
One of the best advantages of Kevlar line. It helps avoid many unexpected string snaps which happen a lot in binding, fastening objects or uses near sharp edges. In addition to "resistance" properties, Kevlar line is also highly resistant to abrasion, to chemicals (especially acids, and alkalis.)
Flame Resistant-Capable to Work at High Temperature
Kevlar doesn't melt and only decomposes at relatively high temperature, which makes it the common and popular material in firefighter PPE equipment.
Toughness - Yields High Strength in Small Size
High tensile strength cordages in lightweight, 10X greater than steel on an equal weight basis. A roll of 100ft 550lb kevlar weighs less than 3 Oz, light and compact to carry on person in the wild.
Low Stretch, Least Creep
Stretch annoys much in applications like stringing hammocks, kite flying control, especially in control of stunt kite or traction kite. Kevlar cords have extremely low stretch and don't create creep even after long time loading.
SPECIFICATION
Material: 100% Green Kevlar Yarn.
Construction: Braid. Multi-strands interweaving process, makes kevlar line much more durable and be able to resist raveling.
Decomposition Temperature: 800~900 °F / 427~482 °C. Kevlar doesn't melt like nylon or polyester. It decomposes at high temperatures.
Approximately ±2~3% deviation exists in measurement.
Safe Working Load Limit: 20% of the tensile strength, for the longevity of the cord and safe uses
Tensile Strength & Working Load Limit
Working Load Limit (WLL) = 20% of Tensile Strength, for the longevity of the cord and safe uses
Tensile Strength
Also known as the labeled strength, is the average strength at which the new and unused cord would break when tested in laboratory condition in accordance with Cordage Institute Standard Test Methods. The load, applied in parallel to the cord, slowly increases until the cord breaks.
Working Load Limit (WLL)
In the real world of practical uses, there are various factors that would impact or reduce the strength of any rope/cord, including knots in the rope, abrasion, humidity, UV, former use and care, etc. To assure safe uses, it's indispensable to adopt a safety margin in the cord/rope strength, which leads to Working Load Limit (WLL).
The Working Load Limit (WLL) is determined by dividing the tensile strength by a safety factor. To assure the longevity of the cord and maintain a comfortable margin for safe uses, a 5:1 safety factor (20% of the tensile strength) is adopted and recommended for emma kites Kevlar cord for general applications.

There's not a lot to say but it is exactly as described.

I love paracord and keep plenty on hand, however this twine is an excellent supplement as it is thinner and much lighter. It makes a great EDC cordage option while allowing you to carry paracord in your bag(s). Highly recommend this and the company ships quickly and delivers a quality product.

Thin enough for when you need a smaller cord, yet still super strong. It has a breaking strength of 550 lbs which is the same as standard paracord. It is exactly as described.One thing I learned is this cord isn't flammable. I wanted to melt the ends after making a lanyard, like I do with paracord, and it just charred a bit. I ended up using a small piece of Gorilla tape over my knot just to ensure the knot stays together.

I bought this for a trip line, its pricey but well made. It should last a long time.

The red 200lb braided line feels well made, and is as thin as described. Good choice for dive line marking or dive marker.

I know it’s only 30 ft of cord but the picture makes you think it is bigger than it really is. This stuff is tiny. I haven’t used it yet but who knows. I might like it. Just not impressed once it was delivered.

The cord is as advertised. My use of it is for long-term mounting of tree labels. I'll try to update this review after the labels have been affixed to the trees for several years.Update: The cord works well. I have used Gorilla Glue to stiffen the end of the cord so it can be inserted into a hole drilled in the tree to be labeled. It is sealed in the hole with grafting wax. After the tree grows for one season, the label is firmly anchored and will not need new mounting, or backing off of screws for twenty years! Two years later: The cord has performed perfectly, no sign of abrasion from flexing in the wind. (This happened with another, thinner cord, also an Emma Kites product). The product under review is now firmly sealed in the tree trunk, with four to six inches of cord, will not have to be reset for ten to twenty years.
