This cord is perfect for 1001 different uses. Kevlar cord is unbelievably strong and durable, useful for nearly any purpose that other ropes/cords of other types can be used for.... only better. About the only reason to use something other than an appropriately sized Kevlar cord would be cost/benefit. Kevlar will almost always be better than anything else, so you just have to decide if your use is worth the premium. In my case, I am using it for high-powered rocketry. Generally, the payload and/or nosecone sections will be attached to the booster section and the parachute with Kevlar cord. Because the deployment of the parachute is done using a small black-powder charge, other cords and elastic can potentially burn through with even a single use. Within a few uses, anything other than Kevlar is generally, well, "toast"... literally. Kevlar can be used over-and-over again with almost no obvious wear. Though I use this particular cord, many rocketeers use Kevlar strap to help avoid "zippering" the rocket. If you are into this hobby, you know what I mean... but I have found that a sufficiently long cord usually avoids this problem.
Tip for use... To avoid fraying at cut ends, the cord that was shipped to me used electrical wire shrink tubing shrunk onto the ends. I had never thought of this and it is a good idea... however, I combine that with a dab of low-viscosity "superglue" the superglue will wick into the cord and hold it together. Before it dries I gingerly press the end together (avoiding sticking my fingers to it) to compress it into a neat, more-or-less round shape I can get the tubing over. Then, I use the shrink tubing over the outside. This gives me a neat, fray proof end.
