How to distinguish the elasticity of elastic bands.

How to distinguish the elasticity of elastic bands.

When a layperson test the elasticity of an elastic band, usually, he/she will stretch it, The more power of the resistance, the better elasticity is.

 

While a professional expert tests the elasticity performance of a elastic band, he/she will use some tools for testing. For example, a micrometer will be used to measure the thickness and width of elastic bands. These values are something to do with the material costs.

 

You need to cut off a piece of sample to check the section, then you can pull out the latex filaments and yarns materials. This is the key to check the elasticity performance.

 

Usually, the raw material are composed with two main parts, the yarn and latex filaments.

The yarn made as the warp and weft of the webbing. While, there are two kinds of latex filaments, with and without yarn winding.

 

The common material of latex filaments we use are original latex or spandex.

Spandex is higher cost than latex. And spandex costs are different between the native and the imported.

 

Therefore, the cost and performance are much different between different raw materials.

The dose of latex filaments of webbing plays a important role in the elasticity performance.

That is why you need tools to measure the parameters of elastic band material and components.

 

Elastic bands manufactured by Globe Elastic Band gained a good awareness in textile industry, specially for garment accessories. Because we use premium material only and offer clients at cost-effective prices. Currently, we are looking for business partners in oversea market. Welcome to contact us for business cooperation.
