Product Details
MH 6 mm wide flat braided elastic made of 8 natural latex cords (42#) covered with polypropylene yarn. It is supplied in white or custom colors on 144-yard bobbins for bulk sewing lines, and is produced under OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
The tight flat braid keeps its shape after repeated stretching, and the polypropylene cover absorbs little water and keeps the elastic light — a cost-effective choice for mask ear loops, cuffs, workwear, footwear and bags.

Product Benefits
Why buyers choose 8-cord latex braid at 6 mm for bulk production.
8 latex cords for firm recovery
Eight 42# natural latex cords in a 6 mm width give stronger stretch and recovery than lighter braids, so ear loops and cuffs keep gripping after repeated wear.
Light, low-cost polypropylene cover
The polypropylene cover yarn keeps the elastic light and lowers the cost per yard — useful when the elastic goes into high-volume, low-margin items such as masks.
Tight braid that holds its shape
The tight flat braid stays stable after repeated stretching instead of loosening, and the PP cover absorbs little water, so the elastic works in damp conditions.
