Elastic band (rubber band) Gevaert 35 mm wide, 16/35 (0.1)

Elastic bands are a functional element that directly impacts the comfort, fit, and durability of textiles. Wide elastic bands are especially important because they distribute loads evenly, avoid pinpoint pressure, and maintain their shape over time.

Gevaert 35mm wide elastic band, item number 16/35 (0.1), is a professional grade band used in applications requiring secure hold, consistent elasticity, and predictable performance.

Gevaert Manufacturer and Quality Control

This elastic band is manufactured under the Gevaert brand, which specializes in elastic textile tapes for industrial and professional use. Our manufacturing approach is based on precise control of stretch, shape return, and resistance to mechanical stress.

Each batch of products is tested for width stability, uniformity of structure, and elastic retention. This ensures consistent elastic quality along the entire length and high repeatability of characteristics, which is especially important for serial production.

Design Features of 16/35 (0.1) Elastic

Gevaert 35 mm wide elastic is manufactured using modern synthetic and elastomeric fibers. This combination of materials achieves an optimal balance between stretch and return strength.

Key design features:

1. constant 35 mm width throughout;
2. uniform density without variations;
3. high tensile and tear resistance;
4. minimal residual deformation after loading;
5. neat edges without fraying.

Article number 16/35 (0.1) indicates a specification designed for regular use and maintaining performance properties even with frequent stretching cycles.

Performance properties and operating principle

The main function of the wide elastic band is to provide a comfortable fit without restricting freedom of movement. Gevaert elastic stretches smoothly and evenly, and quickly returns to its original shape after the load is removed, without creasing or losing shape.

The 35 mm width distributes pressure over a larger area, reducing stress on the fabric and improving wear comfort. This is especially important for items that are used for long periods or are subject to regular mechanical stress.

Applications of Gevaert 35 mm Elastic

• Casual and Professional Wear

Elastic is widely used in waistbands of trousers, skirts, overalls, and workwear. It provides a stable fit and maintains its shape even with frequent washing.

• Sports and functional equipment

In sportswear, elastic is used to secure waistbands, cuffs, and support elements. It withstands dynamic loads and active movements without losing elasticity.

• Medical and Orthopedic Textiles

Thanks to its uniform tension, elastic is suitable for bandages, support belts, and medical devices where comfort and stable fixation without excessive pressure are particularly important.

• Workwear and Protective Products

In workwear, wide elastic is used to secure elements without restricting mobility, which is important during long-term work in active conditions.

• Accessories and Haberdashery

Elastic is used in belts, covers, and textile accessories where a combination of strength, elasticity, and a neat appearance are required.
