HISTORY
Cancord began as the Hamilton Cotton Company which was founded in 1880 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada by brothers James and Hamilton Young. The company grew rapidly, and diversified into yarns, cloth, webbing, and cordage with plants all across Canada. Throughout the many changes and challenges of the 20th century, the company grew, transformed, and diversified into other industries eventually reorganizing itself as the Hamilton Group. Cancord remained as the sole connection to the Hamilton Groups roots in the textile industry. In 1987 Cancord was purchased by Douglas W. Ludwig, at which time it underwent a transformation into new, innovative, and highly technical cordage products and applications. Since 1997, Cancord has been owned and operated by Douglas Ludwigs children Robert Ludwig and Wendy Johnstone. Robert and Wendy are highly regarded and recognized for their expertise in the rope and cordage industry. They continue the focus on quality and innovation which has been a hallmark of Cancord dating back to its inception in 1880.

*Breaking strength does not indicate the safe working load of a rope. Please refer to Important Precautions on page 48 for additional information. Note that when using a prusik cord, great care must be taken to match the accessory cord with the host rope, and to test its effectiveness before use. Experience has shown wide variation in the performance of prusik hitches under different applications and conditions. The holding power of hitches may be greater than the strength of the cord itself, but back up hitches should be used wherever possible. We recommend 3 wrap (6 coil) hitches.

Rope Construction
TWISTED ROPES
These ropes can be recognized by their spiral shapes. They are made by twisting together bundles of individual yarns to form strands, which are then twisted together to form the rope. Twisted ropes are easily spliced, but have inherent torque and therefore a tendency to kink up and rotate under load.
BRAIDED ROPES
These ropes come in many variations and braiding patterns, but always consist of bundles of fiber which are formed into strands and then woven together by passing each strand over and under the others. Cancord primarily manufactures braided ropes. Some of the different braided ropes we manufacture include:
DIAMOND BRAID
These ropes are formed by rotating half the yarn strands in one direction on the braider, while the other half rotate in the opposite direction. These cords may be hollow, or they may have a center core of parallel fibers. These ropes tend to be a little flatter than other braided rope constructions.
DOUBLE BRAID
These ropes are constructed from an inner hollow single braided rope (core) which has another hollow single braided rope constructed around its exterior (skin). The end result is a rope within a rope. Both the skin and the core share the load on the rope, but not necessarily in equal amounts. These ropes are generally very flexible, strong and pleasant to handle. They are easily spliced. Caution must be exercised where double braid ropes are run over pulleys, through hardware, or in any situation where the outer rope may slide along on the inner rope and bunch up. This condition, often called milking, will result in a dramatic loss of strength by causing the entire load to be applied to the inner core. These ropes are also referred to as Marine Ropes, Yacht Braid and 2 in 1.
KERNMANTLE
These ropes are made by braiding a cover (mantle) over a core (kern). The core may consist of filaments of fiber lying essentially parallel inside the rope, or it may be twisted or braided into little bundles. The ropes are designed so that the inner core is taking most (often all) of the load, with the outer cover serving mainly to protect against abrasive action, dirt, and UV rays. All other types of rope have the load bearing fibers exposed and therefore deteriorate more rapidly. These ropes are exceptionally strong and durable, and can be made to have very low elongation. All kernmantle ropes have some stretch. However, static ropes are designed to minimize the amount of stretch, whereas dynamic ropes have relatively more stretch.
SOLID BRAID
These ropes are made by braiding 12, 18 or 20 strands in a reasonably complex pattern with all the strands rotating in the same direction on the braider. The center of the rope may contain a filler core. These ropes maintain their round shape and therefore work very well in pulleys and sheaves. They tend to have high elongation but generally have less strength than other constructions. They cannot be spliced. These ropes are also referred to as Sash Braid.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS:
Rated breaking strength is the optimum strength, achieved under laboratory conditions, in accordance with prescribed test procedures, on new rope, pulling at a slow, steady rate in a straight line. Real life applications normally involve many different types of forces and factors which will cause the rope to fail at much reduced loads. Accordingly, the safe working load of any new rope is much lower than its nominal strength. Blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations cannot be made for any line because the SWL must always be calculated based on the application, conditions of use, and potential danger to personnel among other considerations. It is recommended that the end user establish the SWL base on best practices established by the end users industry, professional judgment, and personal experience in combination with a thorough assessment of all risks. In life threatening and other critical applications, the safe working load should not exceed 1/15 of the nominal strength. Knots reduce the strength of ropes by as much as 50% by causing the fibers to become distorted and cut into each other. Many of our ropes can be fitted with swaged terminations which are much more efficient than knots, losing only minimal strength. Ropes should be kept clean. Dirt and grit inside the rope may cause the inner fibers to be cut or abraded, resulting in a loss of strength. Rope should be washed with a mild detergent in luke warm water and rinsed well. Air dry and avoid hot water. Running ropes over edges such as roof tops or cliff edges causes abrasion to occur rapidly, and causes a cutting action in the rope. Rope must always be carefully protected at these points. Similarly, protection is required if the rope is being wrapped around angle iron or other structures which will cause the rope to suffer abrasion or cutting action. Ropes should be removed from service when deterioration from abrasion becomes excessive. Minor abrasion of the cover of kernmantle ropes will not itself result in a loss of strength, although it may indicate that the inner fibers have been damaged. Where abrasion has penetrated the protective cover and exposed the core, the rope is unsafe for any use, and must be discarded. Shock loads such as those experienced in fall arrest, and or other conditions where the load is applied very quickly, cause damage to the rope. Ropes which have been subjected to this type of force must be removed from service, or downgraded to less critical uses. Nylon ropes will lose about 10% of their strength when wet and will elongate considerably more. They will regain their strength when properly dried. Ropes will deteriorate from abrasion, excessive heat buildup, exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun or from fluorescent lights, and exposure to certain chemicals and their fumes. Dirt will embed itself in the rope and cause the fibers to cut or abrade. Ropes should be stored and used, so as to minimize the effect of these and other damaging influences. Ropes should be checked frequently, and before critical use, for signs of deterioration. Safe use of ropes requires skill, training, and practice. It is the users obligation to be qualified to use the ropes & know their limitations. Cancord Inc. guarantees the material and manufacturing of the ropes but accepts no liability for failure due to misuse of any kind, or for use by persons with inadequate training. It is very difficult to judge the safety of used ropes, so it is important to inspect ropes very carefully, and to replace them if there is doubt about their condition.
