Industries We Serve
LacingCords.com supplies aerospace-grade braided cords and lacing twines manufactured by Breyden Products, Inc., used to bundle, secure, and protect wiring harnesses in mission-critical applications.
Our focus is on industries that demand traceable, specification-compliant materials — where every component must meet stringent performance, documentation, and quality standards.
✈️ Aerospace & Defence
Lacing cords are used throughout aircraft, spacecraft, and defence systems where standard cable ties are not acceptable due to brittleness, outgassing, or non-compliance with MIL specifications.
Typical applications include:
- Aircraft wire harnesses for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman
- Satellite, helicopter, and UAV electrical systems and wiring looms
- Avionics panels, cockpit assemblies, and control systems
- Space-rated harnessing using PTFE or Nomex® cords
- Military vehicles, MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) electrical repairs, and retrofits
Recommended Materials:
- Nomex® (Type I) – general aerospace harnessing
- PTFE (Type II) – high-temperature, chemical, or space-rated applications
- Waxed finish – improves handling and knot security
All cords conform to MIL-T-43435 and are produced under AS9100D quality management.
⚙️ Electronics & Control Panels
In advanced electronic systems and industrial control panels, lacing cords offer a low-profile, non-abrasive bundling method that prevents damage to insulation or connectors.
Common uses:
- Avionics panels, circuit enclosures, and instrument racks
- PCB and connector harnessing where space is limited
- Industrial automation panels and robotics controls
Recommended Materials:
- Polyester – abrasion-resistant for general electronics
- Nylon – flexible and cost-effective for non-aerospace assemblies
- Nomex® – where higher heat resistance or compliance is needed
Benefits include vibration reduction, easier servicing, and improved airflow within enclosures.
🚀 Space & Robotics
In space systems, satellites, and robotic assemblies, lacing cords are preferred over ties for their outgassing resistance, flexibility, and long-term dimensional stability.
Applications include:
- Satellite wiring harnesses and payload connections
- Space-grade PTFE lacing cords for high vacuum and extreme temperature cycles
- Robotics cabling for precision movement and low-mass bundles
Recommended Materials:
- PTFE (Type II) – chemically inert, non-stick, high-temp up to +260 °C
- Nomex® – flame-resistant aramid option for insulation and strength
Compliant with NASA-STD-8739.4 workmanship and ASTM D2256 tensile standards.
🧩 Common Applications
Across all sectors, Breyden-manufactured lacing cords are used for:
- Wire harness bundling and securing
- Cable strain relief
- Label tie-downs and loom terminations
- Routing and organisation in confined assemblies
- Electrical cabinet installations
Each cord type is available waxed or unwaxed and supplied in spools from 25 yds to 500 yds, depending on material and gauge.
🪢 Recommended Materials & Next Steps
Choosing the right lacing cord depends on temperature, chemical environment, and specification requirements:
| Application Environment | Recommended Material | Typical Spec | Finish |
| Aerospace / Defence | Nomex® | MIL-T-43435 Type I | Waxed |
| High Temp / Chemical | PTFE | MIL-T-43435 Type II | Unwaxed |
| Electronics / Control Panels | Polyester | Commercial | Waxed |
| Industrial / Robotics | Nylon | MIL-T-43435 Type III | Waxed or Unwaxed |
