Rubber Bands for Ceramic Molds

    Industrial Grade Ceramic Rubber Bands, sold by Dogwood Ceramic Supply, are used to strap (or bind) small to mid sized 2-piece ceramic molds.  Industrial Grade Ceramic Rubber Bands are perfect for slip cast ceramic molds as the natural rubber breaths and prevents moisture from being trapped under the rubber band.  Made in America for Dogwood Ceramic Supply by Aero Rubber, the Industrial Grade Ceramic Rubber Bands are packaged in 1 pound boxes of a single size of rubber bands.

    All Rubber Bands are measured along the flat length when the two ends of the band are pinched together. The measurement from end to end equals the flat length. (If you were to cut one end of the band unfold it, the flat length would be approximately half the overall length) The width of the band is measured perpendicular to the flat length.  Natural Rubber Bands can stretch up to 7 times the length of the unstressed length of the rubber band without breaking.

    Dogwood Ceramic Supply recommends rubber bands for strapping most small ceramic molds.  However, as the mold size increases the quantity (weight) of slip also increases and greater stress is placed on the band to hold the mold tight during casting.  For moderate sized molds (above 20 lbs in weight or holding more than 1 quart of slip) Dogwood Ceramic Supply STRONGLY recommends the use of mold straps rather than ceramic rubber bands as the rubber bands can be prone to leaking and/or breaking due to the stress of holding the slip within the mold.

    Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Industrial Rubber Bands have a wide variety of uses (besides binding together 2-piece casting molds).  Because of their relatively low cost, the Industrial Grade Ceramic Mold Rubber Bands are often used in furniture making and wood-crafts to hold together wood frames/parts while the glued surfaces cure. In one of the more unusual uses, the Industrial Grade Rubber Bands are often preferred over bungee cords to strap gear to scuba tanks, especially for cave diving, as the rubber band will easily break/release in critical situations versus the more powerful bungee cords.



    Aero Rubber, founded 1973, has been supplying Dogwood Ceramic Supply with our industrial grade ceramic rubber bands for most of the past decade.  Unlike many of their competitors, Aero Rubber has kept their manufacturing facilities right in here in the good ole USA, which is why Dogwood Ceramic Supply continues to support the company.  If somebody is offering you lower priced ceramic rubber bands always check the label.  Most low cost rubber bands on the market are manufactured in Sri Lanka, which will be imprinted on the product packaging and/or master case of rubber bands.  While there is nothing wrong per se with the Sri Lankan rubber bands, we would rather pay a few pennies more and do our part to keep America fully employed.
