The manufacturing process and performance characteristics of woven elastic bands

1. Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of woven elastic bands mainly includes raw material selection, yarn preparation, weaving, finishing, and other links. Among them, raw material selection and yarn preparation are the key factors affecting the performance of elastic bands.

(1) Raw material selection: The raw materials of woven elastic bands are mainly natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyester, nylon, etc. The physical and chemical properties of different raw materials are different, so it is necessary to select suitable raw materials according to the application field and performance requirements.

(2) Yarn preparation: Yarn is the basic structural unit of elastic bands, and its quality directly affects the strength and elasticity of elastic bands. When preparing yarn, appropriate yarn specifications and twists should be selected to ensure the performance of elastic bands.

2. Performance characteristics

Woven elastic bands have the following performance characteristics:

(1) Good elasticity: Woven elastic bands have a certain elasticity and can adapt to changes in various shapes and sizes, making the product more comfortable and durable.

(2) Soft and comfortable: The texture of woven elastic bands is soft and has a good sense of comfort when in contact with the skin.

(3) High strength: The yarn structure of woven elastic bands is tight and has high breaking strength, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios.

(4) Good wear resistance: The surface of woven elastic bands is smooth, with good wear resistance and long service life.
