Rubber strap was a sticky, non-breathable, and not much stylish accessory for watches earlier but it has now changed. High-quality, high-performance natural and synthetic rubber watchstraps are available now.
There are different types of rubber are used for making watchstraps at Crafterblue. To summarise up let us see the types of rubber used for watchstraps making.
Natural rubber
The rubber watchstrap is one of the most popular and used in major high-performance applications. However, the earlier natural rubber straps are not popular and have not performed well as recent rubbers.
Silicone rubber
This silicone rubber is not highly used in most the brand of watchstraps. Even it can be easily shaped and colored, the properties of stickiness, a tendency to tear and to attract dust and lint make it less popular than the others.
PVC rubber
It is a thermoplastic vinyl polymer that is shinier than polymers. It is more durable. But it is not up to mark like Nitrile Butadiene rubber to use in the high-end application.
PU rubber
Polyurethane rubber is another polymer made of a urethane chain and has elastic properties. They are more durable and highly functional.
