Why are JC’s Band Products superior to other band products on the market?
JC Band Products are made by Lifeline USA. Lifeline uses only dipped rubber tubing, while many of our competitors use extruded rubber. What is the difference between the two processes? Extruded rubber tubing is much cheaper, and is made by forcing rubber through a die, resulting in one thick layer of rubber, similar to how a rubber band is made. If there are any defects in this layer, the band will fail prematurely. Dipped rubber is made similar to how a candle is made, where the tubing is dipped several times in liquid rubber, resulting in several layers. In fact, if you look at the end of our band products under magnification, you will see rings similar to the trunk of a tree. With dipped rubber, if one layer is weak, the other layers will compensate for it and the band will not fail. We know of several customers who have had their bands for 15 to 20 years, and some of the layers of the band are shredded, but they continue to use the band, and it does not break! We must caution you,
