Lastoflex Bungee Cord 3mm

Description

Everlasto Lastoflex 3mm Bungee Cord & Shock Cord

High-quality 3mm Lastoflex Bungee Cord, a lightweight and versatile shock cord designed for applications where a relatively fine but practical elastic cord is required.

Made with a smooth braided polypropylene outer and natural rubber elastic core, Lastoflex provides excellent flexibility and stretch while remaining durable and easy to handle. The polypropylene covering is UV stabilised, water resistant, abrasion resistant and hard-wearing, making it suitable for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications.

Versatile 3mm Elastic Cord

The 3mm diameter provides a useful balance between flexibility and substance, making it suitable for lightweight fastening, replacement and component applications where 2mm cord may be too fine but a larger diameter bungee cord is unnecessary.

Popular uses for 3mm bungee cord include:

• Replacement elastic for tent poles
• Camping equipment and repairs
• Bags, pouches and small accessories
• Clothing and garment applications
• Jewellery making and beading
• Swing tickets and product tags
• Menu loops
• Crafts and hobby projects
• Lightweight retaining loops
• General lightweight elastic fastening

Its relatively small diameter also makes the cord easy to thread through eyelets, channels and narrow openings when incorporated into products, repairs and custom projects.

Durable Polypropylene Outer & Natural Rubber Core

At the heart of the cord is a natural rubber elastic core, providing the stretch and recovery expected from a quality bungee cord or shock cord.

The elastic core is protected by a smooth braided polypropylene outer covering, helping protect it from abrasion and everyday wear while providing a neat, durable finish. The outer braid is also UV stabilised and water resistant for use in many outdoor environments.

Choosing the Right Bungee Cord Diameter

3mm bungee cord is best suited to lightweight applications where a relatively fine, flexible elastic cord is required. It offers slightly more substance than 2mm cord while remaining easy to thread and incorporate into smaller components.

For applications requiring greater strength, tension or a more substantial elastic cord, the Lastoflex range is also available in larger diameters, allowing you to choose the most appropriate bungee cord or shock cord for the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3mm bungee cord used for?

3mm bungee cord is suitable for a wide range of lightweight applications, including tent pole elastic, camping repairs, bags, garments, crafts, beading, tags, menu loops and small elastic fastening applications.

Can I use 3mm shock cord for tent poles?

Yes. 3mm shock cord can be used as replacement elastic in suitable sectional tent poles. Check the diameter of the existing cord and the opening through the poles before ordering.

What is the difference between 2mm and 3mm bungee cord?

Both sizes are designed primarily for lightweight applications. 3mm cord is thicker and more substantial than 2mm cord, making it a useful choice where very fine 2mm elastic cord is not required. The correct size will depend on the application and the space available for the cord.

Is 3mm bungee cord suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The polypropylene outer is UV stabilised, water resistant and abrasion resistant, making Lastoflex suitable for many outdoor applications.

Is bungee cord the same as shock cord?

The terms bungee cord and shock cord are commonly used interchangeably. Both generally describe an elastic rubber core protected by a braided textile outer covering.
