Elastic Cords

Elastic cords, also known as bungee cords or shock cords, are flexible cords made from elastic materials, typically rubber or synthetic rubber-like materials such as polyurethane. Here's what you need to know about them.

1. Construction: Elastic cords are made up of one or more elastic strands encased in a woven or braided outer covering. The outer covering protects the elastic core from damage and provides additional strength.
2. Elasticity: These cords are designed to stretch when force is applied and return to their original shape when the force is removed. The level of elasticity depends on the material used and the construction of the cord.
3. Diameter and Length: Elastic cords come in various diameters and lengths to suit different applications. Thicker cords provide greater strength, while longer cords offer more flexibility in terms of applications.
4. Hooks and Fasteners: Many elastic cords come with hooks or fasteners on each end to secure them in place. These can be plastic-coated metal hooks, plastic toggles, or other types of connectors depending on the intended use.
