What are the advantages of rubber bands produced from natural rubber?

 

Before solving this problem, we need to understand where natural rubber comes from? The answer is not complicated. Natural rubber comes from the latex of rubber trees, that is, natural rubber is extracted from rubber trees. Since natural rubber is a natural polymer, its main chain is hydrocarbons, so the rubber bands made from it can decompose naturally after being discarded, achieving environmental protection and pollution-free.

 

1

High elasticity and resilience of rubber bands

Natural rubber is a natural polymer. Its main component is polyisoprene. Its molecular chain structure is very flexible, which makes the rubber band have excellent stretching ability and resilience. After stretching, it can quickly return to its original shape and length, with high deformation recovery rate and small permanent deformation. Therefore, it is widely used in some occasions with high elasticity requirements.

2

higher tensile strength

Among elastomeric materials, natural rubber has a relatively high tensile strength, which means that the rubber band can withstand a large tensile force without breaking easily when stretched.

3

cost effectiveness advantage

Compared with many synthetic rubbers with special properties (such as high temperature resistance, oil resistance, and ozone resistance), natural rubber itself (as a raw material) usually has better cost advantages while meeting the basic performance requirements of rubber bands (high elasticity and flexibility).

4

Good low temperature performance

Natural rubber can still maintain good elasticity and flexibility at sub-zero temperatures, and will not become brittle and easy to break like some plastics or hardened rubber. This allows rubber bands to work reliably in low-temperature environments.

5

Biodegradability

Under the right environmental conditions (such as microbial action in soil), discarded natural rubber elastic bands can eventually biodegrade, which is friendlier to the environment than products made entirely from synthetic polymers (such as some plastics).

The main raw material of our rubber bands is natural rubber, which is an environmentally friendly material that can be 100% naturally degraded. We have established a production raw material traceability system, with the advantage of vertical integration, we control the entire process from raw material procurement to final packaging to ensure traceability. From the elastic performance indicators of the material: The cis structure of the natural rubber molecular chain gives the product a stretch rate of 500%-1200%, and after 100,000 stretch tests in the laboratory, it still maintains more than 90% of the rebound performance.
