The elastic band are made of a series of rubber, natural rubber or synthetic rubber. It is of great value in the textile industry due to its excellent elongation and recovery. The term “spandex” is a generic term used to define elastic materials. It has become an indispensable part in people’s daily life. It is also widely used in military, clothing, medical and other fields. If you are not quite familiar with it , I would like to give you more details.

Elasticity and quality of elastic bands
The types of elastic band can be classified according to their construction and fiber content. Such as woven elastic, knitted elastic, transparent polyurethane, and so on. Its stretch length can reach up to three or four times its original length. Since the elastic bands are made of rubber synthetically processed, the production of elastic bands is important. If the amount of rubber is small, it is difficult to ensure quality. If the elastic recovery rate is poor, and elastic slack will occur quickly.
Suggested use
- It is advisable that do not to stick the elastic bands during sewing, which is easy to cut the latex in the elastic band , resulting in a greatly shorten of service life The stitching of the fabric and the elastic band seriously affects the function of the elastic bands. Therefore, the elastic bands should have a loose space to fully stretch , retract and extend to ensure the service life.
- After long-term storage and use, the elastic band becomes stiff, losing its extensibility and possibly becoming brittle. This means that products with elastic band should not be stored for long periods of time after manufacture, otherwise they will lose their ductility. Moreover, the washing process reduces the amount of force required to reach the same extension.
