Feature
The advantages of YM THREAD ‘s rubber yarn
- Good elasticity and resilience: The elasticity and resilience of rubber covered yarn mainly depend on the characteristics of the fiber and rubber used. This material’s elasticity allows it to quickly return to its original state when subjected to external forces, thereby improving its service life.
- Good wear resistance: Due to the wear resistance of rubber, rubber covered yarn can withstand repeated friction and wear, making it suitable for manufacturing products with high wear resistance requirements.
- Strong corrosion resistance: Rubber covered yarn can resist the erosion of various chemicals, making it suitable for manufacturing products with high corrosion resistance requirements.

What is rubber covered yarn?
Our company’s rubber yarn（rubber covered yarn） is a material made of fiber and natural rubber. This material is made up of a high-elastic, high-strength, and wear-resistant fiber material (polyester or nylon) covered with a layer of high-quality natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
What is the difference between latex and spandex?
Latex and spandex are distinct materials used in clothing. Latex, derived from natural rubber, offers moderate elasticity and is used in items like swimwear. In contrast, spandex, a synthetic fiber, provides high elasticity and comfort, making it popular in sportswear and activewear. Spandex is more breathable, hypoallergenic, and versatile, while latex may require lubricants and can cause allergies in some individuals. The choice depends on specific clothing needs and wearer preferences.
How to produce rubber coverd yarn？
| Step | Description | Involved machinery |
| 1. Preparing raw materials | Selecting suitable fiber materials (such as polyester), rubber (natural rubber or synthetic rubber), and dyes | None |
| 2. Preparing rubber solution | Dissolving rubber in organic solvents to prepare a solution | Mixer, dissolver |
| 3. Fiber dipping | Immersing polyester fiber materials into the rubber solution to cover the fibers with a layer of rubber | Dipping machine |
| 4. Heat treatment | Heating the fibers after dipping in a hot environment to cure the rubber onto the fibers | Heat treatment equipment (such as an oven) |
| 5. Dyeing treatment | Dyeing the rubber-covered yarn to have the desired color and appearance | Dyeing machine, washing machine, etc. |
| 6. Coating treatment | Coating the dyed rubber-covered yarn to have the desired appearance and protective layer | Coating machine, hot press, etc. |
| 7. Processing treatment | Processing the coated yarn, such as cutting, sanding, etc., to obtain the desired shape and size | Processing machines (such as cutting machines, sanding machines, etc.) |
| 8. Quality inspection | Inspecting the processed and dyed polyester rubber-covered yarn to ensure it meets the required standards | Quality inspection equipment (such as microscopes, scales, etc.) |
| 9. Packaging | Packaging the qualified and dyed polyester rubber-covered yarn to protect it from damage and contamination | Packaging machines |
