Alliance 42199 antimicrobial rubberband size 19 cyan blue

Antimicrobial Rubber Bands for Medical

These Alliance size 19 rubber bands are made from non-latex synthetic rubber with an antimicrobial treatment that permeates the material and inhibits the growth of fungi, mold and bacteria that cause early deterioration. They are coloured cyan blue for easy identification and come in a quarter-pound box. The product is suitable for personal, school and office use as well as medical or sterile environments.

Check Compatibility Before Ordering

Verify that your application does not require direct food contact, as the antimicrobial additive does not protect against food-borne or disease-causing microorganisms and the bands are not approved for that use. Confirm that the 3.50 inch length and 0.06 inch width match the bundle size you need to secure. Ensure the 0.25 lbs per inch tensile strength and 720% elongation provide sufficient holding power for your intended load.

Behaviour Under Sustained Load

The antimicrobial treatment remains effective on all surfaces for the lifetime of the rubber band and withstands sterilisation by autoclave and irradiation without losing its protective properties. The synthetic rubber construction maintains consistent elasticity rated at 2180 psi and a gauge of 0.04, resisting permanent deformation during prolonged stretching. The bands do not degrade from microbial activity that typically weakens standard rubber over time.
