The main materials of large rubber bands include rubber, latex and silicone.
Rubber: Rubber rubber bands are usually produced and processed using natural rubber (NR) materials. This type of rubber band has good tensile resilience and low compression deformation rate, and is suitable for occasions that require high rebound effects. However, since it is made by extrusion molding and then punching, it has a rough appearance and a certain smell, which is suitable for industry and simple binding and fixing.
Latex: Latex rubber bands are similar to silicone rubber bands in processing methods, but the materials are different. Latex rubber bands have stronger tensile strength, soft and comfortable feel, and are suitable for occasions that require high tensile strength. However, latex rubber bands have a pungent smell, low environmental safety, poor high temperature resistance, and long-term use in high temperature environments will affect their performance.
Silicone: Silicone rubber bands are currently a relatively safe and environmentally friendly material with good high temperature resistance and stability. It is widely used in occasions where it comes into contact with the skin for a long time, such as tying hair or wearing jewelry.
