Rubber bands are designed for everyday use and industrial applications. Bands contain 55 percent rubber and some latex, offering 700 percent stretch. Rubber bands only vary 30 percent after being stretched. Rubber bands are sustainable. An excellent value, pound for pound—buy by the weight, and reap the savings associated with buying in bulk. High-rubber content, never less than 70%, ensures excellent elasticity and a high break point. Use them in the office, in your shop or in your kitchen. They even meet all FDA requirements for direct food contact.
