Strong 8mm Elastic Shock Cord

This heavy-duty 8mm shock cord combines a flexible rubber core with a durable braided outer sheath. The elastic core allows the cord to stretch under tension and recover when released, making it suitable for securing covers, tensioning tarpaulins and creating custom bungee straps.

The black woven covering gives the cord a smart, professional appearance while protecting the internal rubber strands from abrasion and general handling.

Why Choose an 8mm Bungee Cord?

An 8mm bungee cord provides a useful balance between strength, elasticity and ease of handling. It is thicker and more substantial than lightweight elastic cords, making it suitable for trailer covers, heavy tarpaulins and other applications requiring firm elastic tension.

The 100m reel also gives professional and regular users the flexibility to manufacture multiple straps or replace worn cord without purchasing individual pre-cut lengths.

Cutting and Finishing

Cut the bungee cord using sharp scissors or suitable cord cutters. The cut ends should be secured immediately using a suitable end fitting, clamp, hog ring, heat-shrink sleeve or other appropriate finishing method.
