Rubber yarn, also known as elastic yarn or stretch yarn, refers to a type of yarn that is made from rubber or rubber-like materials. It is designed to provide elasticity and stretchability to fabrics and textiles.
Rubber yarn is commonly used in the production of stretch fabrics, such as sportswear, swimwear, lingerie, and activewear. It is also used in various other applications where elasticity is desired, such as in socks, waistbands, and elasticized components of garments.
The rubber yarn is typically made by coating or covering a core yarn with rubber or a rubber-like material. The core yarn can be made from various fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or cotton, which provide strength and stability to the yarn. The rubber coating or covering adds the desired stretch and elasticity.
Rubber yarn offers several advantages. It provides excellent stretch and recovery properties, allowing fabrics to comfortably conform to the body's movements. It helps garments retain their shape and provides a snug and supportive fit. Rubber yarn also enhances the durability and longevity of elasticized components in garments.
Different types of rubber yarns are available, offering varying levels of stretch and elasticity. Some rubber yarns have a higher degree of stretch, while others have a more moderate or controlled stretch. The specific type of rubber yarn chosen depends on the desired level of elasticity and the intended use of the fabric or garment.
It is important to note that rubber yarns may have limitations in terms of heat resistance, UV resistance, and durability over time. Care should be taken to follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing and care to maintain the quality and performance of fabrics made with rubber yarn.
Overall, rubber yarn is a key component in creating fabrics with stretch and elasticity. It provides comfort, flexibility, and support in various textile applications, making it a popular choice in the production of stretch fabrics and elasticized components.
A groundbreaking innovation designed to revolutionize the textile industry with its unparalleled elasticity and durability. This versatile yarn seamlessly blends the robustness of rubber with the flexibility of traditional fibers, creating a unique material that offers unmatched stretch and recovery properties. Ideal for applications requiring superior elasticity, such as sportswear, hosiery, and compression garments, our Rubber Yarn ensures your creations maintain their shape and provide exceptional comfort and fit. Crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques, our Rubber Yarn is engineered to withstand repeated wear and washing cycles without losing its elasticity or strength. This makes it not only perfect for high-performance athletic wear but also for everyday apparel that benefits from added flexibility and support.
Rubber Yarn, also known as rubber‑covered yarn, pairs a latex core with a protective polyester wrap. The result is stable elasticity, clean knitting, and reliable recovery. Longtai manufactures and exports polyester‑covered options optimized for socks, cuffs, ribs, and hosiery where durable stretch matters.
Our covered elastic yarns balance stretch, strength, and smooth running on modern knitting lines. Choose models and colors to match everyday sock bodies and elastic zones.
RCY uses a latex filament core wrapped with polyester. This construction supports consistent tension, low lint, and reduced breaks in daily‑wear and sports styles.
Select 90#7575, 100#7575, or 1207575 to align elastic intensity with knitting density and rib depth. Contact us for model matching by machine gauge and fabric target.
Standard colors are raw white, black, and yellow. Even cover and uniform shade help prevent show‑through in elastic bands and waist areas.
The latex core delivers powerful stretch and quick rebound. The polyester cover adds strength, abrasion resistance, and compatibility with surrounding yarns. Together they enhance comfort, fit, and durability in elastic areas.
Double‑covered constructions improve stability, abrasion resistance, and high‑speed running. Use them for cuffs and waistbands. Single‑covered options suit zones where lighter recovery is acceptable. OEM/ODM options are available.
This elastic yarn supports snug fit, anti‑slip comfort, and stable rib definition from toe to cuff. Consistent tension promotes clean loops and smooth production.
The core’s recovery resists bagging. The cover protects against friction and repeated stretching.
Selective placement adds gentle stretch for comfort while maintaining shape.
Quick rebound helps garments hold fit through repeated wear.
The polyester wrap contributes tensile strength and surface durability, lowering break risk on fast machines.
Optimized covering supports dimensional stability under common washing and drying. Confirm heat settings during trials.
Precision winding enables smooth unwinding and predictable tension, helping reduce snarls and stoppages.
Validated on prevalent circular sock machines, the yarn supports fine ribs and elastic bands with stable loop formation.
Supplied on standard cones or spools with protective packing. Custom packaging and labels are available on request.
Choose RCY 90#7575, 100#7575, or 1207575. Request guidance on elongation, tension behavior, and elastic strength by zone.
