Our product range of rubber bands Made in Germany
Rubber bands made from natural rubber
Rely on nature!
Natural rubber is obtained from the latex sap of the rubber tree. For centuries, the tree bark has been scratched and the white sap collected in containers and then processed further. Rubber bands made from natural rubber are therefore based on a renewable raw material, are environmentally friendly and even compostable.
EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)
H+D sources its natural rubber exclusively from cultivation areas in Southeast Asia that meet the strict requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation.
Rubber bands made of natural rubber are versatile: they are suitable for all applications where products need to be fixed, bundled, sealed or packaged. The adhesive surface of the rubber prevents slippage. And thanks to its natural elasticity, individual parts can be removed from a bundle without the rest falling apart.
H+D only uses high-quality rubber without fillers for its production. The rubber content is 98 %. This highly tear-resistant quality is also known as pale crepe quality. Thanks to a shore hardness (elasticity) of 40° to 50°, our elastic bands are pleasant to work with and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
Black rubber bands
Black is beautiful
Black elastic bands give your products a striking, exclusive look that is clearly different from the usual natural brown or red colors. This elastic band is therefore used especially for fixing and bundling high-quality goods in the technical and consumer sectors.
Black rubber bands are made from 98% natural rubber and are dyed black during processing. The color is opaque and virtually abrasion-resistant. The color additive also makes the rubber band more resistant to ageing.
Brought to perfect gloss
Some talcum is always produced when cutting rubber sleeves. The rubber bands are cleaned by washing them in light soapy water, giving them a deep, sharp color and an attractive shine. We use industrial washing and drying machines for this purpose. Another point: only by washing do we meet the strict requirements of the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).
We manufacture black rubber bands in accordance with DIN 7715 in diameters of 40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm and 160 mm.
Food-safe rubber bands H+D LatexFree®
Safety in the food and hygiene sector
'Food-safe' refers to certain properties of packaging materials that come into contact with food. This also applies to the properties of rubber products when they are used to bundle fruit and vegetables, but also in conjunction with meat and dairy products. H+D has a solution for this: H+D LatexFree®. Because we only use food-safe materials in our production, we can issue a safety certificate for all H+D LatexFree® products and guarantee that they are food-safe.
Latex-free rubber bands
As food-safe rubber bands are made from synthetic rubber, they are automatically latex-free. The isoprenes are produced synthetically and demonstrably without latex. Latex-free rubber bands are preferably used in pharmaceutical and medical industries. They prevent latex allergies during use.
Finally, we can certify that all H+D LatexFree® rubber bands can be sterilized and irradiated using an autoclave. And compliance with the US regulation FDA 21 CFR Part: 177.2600 is also guaranteed.
UV-resistant rubber bands H+D LongLife® : maximum resistance to ageing
This synthetic rubber has almost unlimited resistance to ageing:
- UV and ozone resistance:
H+D LongLife® is resistant to UV radiation and various gases, such as ozone. Permanent outdoor use of the UV-resistant rubber bands is therefore possible without loss of elasticity or tear resistance. - Weather resistance:
Thanks to its special structure, H+D LongLife® is resistant to extreme climatic conditions, dirt, salt water and extreme temperatures. This guarantees reliable function, especially in outdoor applications. - Chemical and oil resistance:
H+D LongLife® impresses with its resistance to many acids, alkalis, esters, ketones, alcohol and various oils. This significantly extends the range of applications. - Free from latex:
Due to the absence of latex proteins, H+D LongLife® can also be used wherever latex allergies must be avoided, e.g. for applications in the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors.
Maximum flexibility with H+D Silikon® rubber bands
H+D Silicone®: an universal material
H+D Silicone® is an extremely versatile material that is used successfully in almost all technical areas. Its excellent resistance to heat, frost, UV radiation, ozone, oil, various chemicals, salt water and much more make silicone rubber bands an universal and reliable aid for packaging, fixing, bundling and marketing.
Food-safe
As the material we use is food-safe, H+D Silikon® rubber belts can also be used in food applications without limitation.
Latex-free
Silicone rubber bands are also safe to use in the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors, as our synthetic rubber is free from latex proteins. Latex allergies are practically eliminated with H+D Silikon®.
In-house production
As the design options for silicone rubber bands can vary in terms of their exact specification, color, elasticity and shape, H+D Silikon® rubber bands are manufactured to order. The delivery time is 2 to 3 weeks.
Rubber bands with imprint: H+D InfoStraps
We add excitement to your products!
Our printed rubber bands H+D Infostraps are your trusted and smart advertising ambassadors for many product applications, events or technical usage. In general, rubber bands reliably hold together what belongs together thanks to their good grip and extreme stretch properties.
Printing gives rubber bands an additional individual and exclusive touch. The printing ink is applied to the rubber band using a special printing process that is durable and virtually abrasion-proof.
A wide range of band colors and printing inks are available. Band colors in gold, silver or fluorescent are also possible. Printing can be done on one or two sides as well as in one or two colors.
We supply printed rubber bands from an order quantity of 1000 pieces.
