Ranger Bands

Product Information

s Skog Ranger Bands are heavy duty rubber bands first developed by Army Rangers for use securing and silencing their gear. Manufactured in the United States, our high-quality Ranger Bands are made from EPDM rubber, a material also used in roofing membranes because of its resistance to UV light from the sun, rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. An EPDM Ranger Band does not stretch as much as a regular office-supply-type rubber band, but is much stronger and more durable.

If one imagines a rubber band during manufacture, that is, a long tube of rubber on a mandrel, before it is sliced into rubber bands, the band's width is decided by how far apart the slices are cut, and its length by the circumference of the tube.

Notable developments in the evolution of rubber bands began in 1923 when William H. Spencer obtained a few Goodyear inner tubes and cut the bands by hand in his basement, where he founded Alliance Rubber Company. Spencer persuaded the Akron Beacon Journal as well as the Tulsa World to try wrapping their newspapers with one of his rubber bands to prevent them from blowing across lawns. He went on to pioneer other new markets for rubber bands such as: agricultural and industrial applications and a myriad of other uses. Spencer obtained a patent on February 19, 1957, for a new "Method for Making Elastic Bands" which produced rubber bands in an Open Ring design.

Extruded Bands Made From EPDM Rubber".

They're a semi-shiny rubber and though it might not be, they do resemble a bicycle inner tube upon first sight. These are marketed as "Ranger Bands", for those that have no idea what that is, they're basically high quality rubber bands that stand extended use in harsh environments and can handle UV rays without the stand material breakdown that you would encounter from typical rubber bands.
