Face mask manufacturing is booming business these days. The Chinese market demand for dust and virus face masks is through the roof. Demand for surgical masks and dust masks for people working hospitals, construction and emergency management is also up. To meet this demand, face mask manufacturers need to keep stocks of mask elastic strings on hand for the process.
Bulk Mask Elastic Strings
One problem manufacturers encounter when sourcing bulk mask elastic string is finding the correct search terminology. It seems like this one essential item for face masks goes by many names, so it can be difficult to track down when you need to find a good deal. Here are some potential search combinations you may have tried:
- Bulk face mask elastic
- Elastic straps for face masks
- Elastic bands for face masks
- Stretchy bands for dust masks
- Elastic cord for face masks
You may have even typed elastic chords for face masks. Typically, you can find this type of elastic chord under the “elastic string and thread” heading, and then pick the diameter and type that you need. But whether you call them bands, straps, cords or even chords, it’s important to get the right type of elastic string for this particular application as it has some special requirements. For instance:
- Comfort—The face mask elastic string should be covered in soft fabric for going over the face and around the head; bare elastic can chafe and catch in the hair.
- Strength—In situations where the face and breathing must be protected from environmental pollutants or germs, the elastic straps on the face mask must be durable enough to withstand vigorous use, whether that’s on a job site, in a hospital or during an emergency situation.
- Elasticity—You want to have face mask elastic string that maintains good elasticity and doesn’t become loose, which can compromise the mask’s ability to filter out contaminants.
