Light Duty Shock Cord
Our Light Duty Shock Cord at Ibex Marina Ropes is developed and manufactured in full accordance with BS3F71:1991 Specification for light duty braided rubber cord, which specifies a range of diameters of shock cord between 3mm to 11mm.
It is perfect for holding down smaller loads that require minimal tension and impact resistance. Notably lighter and more flexible than its heavy-duty counterparts, this type of braided shock cord is also ideal for precision applications that require controlled elasticity, such as maintaining tension in dynamic environments.
