Since ages ago, the bungee straps have been used with people of different professions and walks of life. Its one of those items in which tradesmen, householders, transporters and even movie producers can never miss in their daily line of work.
The bungee strap has always been used for holding tools and with the increase in number of professions using the strap its not easy for one to categorize the tools that are kept in this straps this has made very few people to know the main reason that this strap were meant for.
The strap itself has different components where each component has the role that it plays. First we have the core made up of strands of elastic rubber. If the straps are made of thick elastic rubber, then the bungee strap will be very strong.
The rubber core it's responsible for the stretchiness of the strap, this rubber can either be vulcanized rubber or synthetic rubber. The important thing is that is stretches but still is able to give proper support.
Since the covering does not mainly need to be elastic, it is made of cotton or nylon, this materials are known not to be elastic like rubber
It is known that the bungee straps made with both cotton and nylon covering do not stretch much compared to those made of rubber, but the covering should be made in such a way that the core stretches at least twice its length. Those straps known to be made of purely rubber including the covering do stretch at least four times its original length.
In bungee straps they use hooks which have been covered with rubber for safety to hold on the straps properly while they are being used. This reduces cases of making notes on the straps in order to fasten them and is just another way to ensure safety when using them.
When buying bungee straps they are bought according to their size, the sizes are specified since each size is meant to do a specific job. The activities range from keeping luggage to the top of the roof of a car to engaging in different sports. It's important to remember to replace the bungee straps after time since they will breakdown. This will ensure even after it has lost its elasticity, its still in an operational mode and able to perform the way it should properly.
