Complete Guide to Elastic Bands｜Applications and Specifications of Natural Rubber, Synthetic Rubber, and Spandex Elastic Straps

Elastic bands are essential elastic strap materials widely used in the apparel, sports, medical, and industrial sectors. They are typically made of rubber elastic bands or spandex elastic bands, with a core elastic fiber that provides excellent elongation and recovery performance, and an outer layer of polyester or nylon for enhanced durability and comfort.

Core Materials and Features of Elastic Bands

Rubber

• Natural rubber elastic bands: Excellent elasticity and quick rebound, suitable for garments and sports products that require high elasticity.

• Synthetic rubber elastic bands: Such as Neoprene and NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), offering heat resistance and aging resistance, ideal for outdoor and industrial applications.

Spandex (Spandex / Elastane / Lycra)
"Spandex elastic bands" is a general term for elastic materials, capable of stretching 5–8 times their original length without deformation. They are widely used in sportswear, swimwear, and medical products.

Outer Covering Fibers

• Polyester elastic bands: Highly durable, excellent colorfastness, and resistant to shrinking.

• Nylon elastic bands: Smooth, abrasion-resistant, and strong.
