What’s the difference between TPE And Latex material of Resistance Tube Band?

The resistance tube band is a kind of lightweight and convenient equipment for people fitness routine. Whether you are at the office or home, you can do exercise without restriction, really very convenient.

But how many people know what the material of these band made?

In fact there are two kinds of material on the market of resistance tube bands: Natural latex and TPE material. So about these two different material how do we choose and what’s advantage of each? First of all, we need to understand the characteristics first before we can make a wise choice.

Latex Resistance Tube Band product characteristics:

Natural latex is cut from the rubber tree and is a kind of natural gift. It is a liquid, milky white color, tasteless. The fresh natural latex contains 27% -41.3% rubber, 44% -70% water, 0.2% -4.5% protein, 2% -5% natural resin, 0.36% -4.2% carbohydrate and 0.4% ash. Because natural latex will coagulate due to the action of its microorganisms and enzymes. So ammonia and other chemical stabilizers are usually added.
Natural latex has good wear resistance and heat resistance. Besides, it has super-high elasticity, breaking strength, and elongation of more than 7 times.
Natural latex in the air is easy to age, frosting white. Because of the presence of heteromorphic protein molecules in natural latex. It May cause allergic reactions in certain few people. However due to Outstanding performance of nature latex, many people willing to choose this material products in there daily life such as Pillow mattress and exercise bands etc.

TPE Resistance Tube Band product characteristics:

TPE material has relatively good resilience and tensile strength and feels comfortable delicate smooth. Direct extrusion molding through the extruder, the processing is simple and convenient. The oil resistance of TPE is relatively poor. TPE combustion has a faint aroma, smoke less, and is light.
TPE material is a blend-modified material. The physical property has many adjustabilities, the specific gravity is between 0.89-1.3. The hardness is usually between Shaw Brothers Studio 28A and 35A. Too high or too low hardness will affect the performance of the resistance band.
The main material of the TPE Elastic Belt is Sebs. SEBS is a kind of environmental protection material, which conforms to REACH standards. So it doesn’t have an allergic reaction to a particular group. the resistance tube bandmade of TPE has a smooth surface and no foreign body particles. In the low-temperature environment, the elasticity still maintains good elasticity and will not be hard and brittle. Excellent weather resistance can be used in a 40-90 degrees Celsius environment. This temperature range in outdoor use does not appear to be the phenomenon of cracking.
The main material of TPE contains a lot of butadiene, which has the characteristics of a high drawing ratio and small deformation. We tested stretching 3 times over 30,000 times for a small amount of deformation, but no more than 5%.

Whether it is the use of TPE or latex material production of tension tubes, it has to attract customers point eachly. Our NQ Sports factory has two kinds of tension tubes available to meet different level requirements, which you can choose at your will.
