Elastic cord, also known as elastic bungee cord or bungee rope, is a type of cord made from elastic fibres that are used to create a flexible, stretchable connection between two points. It is often used in a variety of applications, such as securing cargo, securing tents, and providing tension in clothing and other textiles. Elastic cord is typically made of rubber or a synthetic polymer, and it is available in a range of sizes and colours. It is often coated in a protective layer to improve its durability and resistance to the elements. Elastic cord is known for its ability to stretch and return to its original shape, making it useful in situations where a flexible, tension-holding connection is needed.
