MIL-C-1145 cotton cord

The MIL-C-1145 military specification covers small-diameter cord and line used in defence and general technical applications.
Cotton construction provides flexibility, good knot holding and heat behaviour without melting.

Technical characteristics

Material: Cotton according to the applicable requirement.
Handling: The cord is suitable for knots and light-duty fastening applications.
Heat behaviour: Cotton chars or burns rather than melting, which can be useful where molten synthetic material must be avoided.
Finishes: Depending on the specification, natural or treated finishes may be used for storage and environmental resistance.

Typical applications

• signal and flag halyards,
• light packaging and equipment securing,
• drawcords for covers and field equipment,
• general military and maintenance applications.
