20 Years Andreas Neumann GmbH: An anniversary full of dynamism! What began in 2006 with a vision and a passion for technical textiles has today become an established name in the world of elastic connections. This year, Andreas Neumann GmbH celebrates its 20th anniversary! For two decades, our focus has been on […]

Sustainability in Yarn and Rubber: Quality Meets Responsibility Longevity is one of the most honest forms of sustainability. In our rubber rope production at Andreas Neumann GmbH, we therefore rely on materials that are not only technically convincing but also ecologically sound. From renewable raw materials in the core to recyclable yarns in the sheath. We're thinking ahead with rubber ropes! […]

Colour and Design: why appearance can be crucial for bungee cords Bungee cords primarily need to hold. However, the choice of colour and pattern is far more than just a matter of taste. Whether for safety, camouflage, or internal organisation: the right appearance turns some cords into the perfect tool for their area of use. […]

Lycra - textile elasticity in our bungee cords Lycra®, also known as elastane or spandex, is not a classic rubber but a highly elastic synthetic fibre. In our bungee cord production, Lycra is used specifically where textile elasticity, high stretchability, and particularly soft, uniform tension behaviour are required. Lycra-based bungee cords differ from rubber-elastic solutions in that they [...]

Cold-elastic elastomers for reliable rubber ropes at low operating temperatures Cold-elastic elastomers are specially designed to reliably maintain their elasticity and functionality even in sub-zero temperatures. In our production, we always use cold-elastic rubber when rubber ropes need to function reliably under winter conditions, in cold environments, or when exposed to permanent cold. Through targeted material selection and high-quality [...]

High-performance elastomers for maximum performance rubber ropes High-performance elastomers stand for the highest technical requirements, extreme resilience and maximum process reliability. In our rubber rope production, these specialised elastomers are used wherever standard materials such as natural rubber or neoprene reach their limits. High-performance rubber ropes are specifically developed for applications that require permanently high mechanical, thermal or chemical loads. Thanks to precisely matched [...]

Neoprene as an elastomer for our quality rubber ropes Neoprene, chemically known as chloroprene rubber (CR), is a proven synthetic elastomer material for customised, technically sophisticated rubber ropes. In our production, we use neoprene specifically where constant elasticity, high environmental resistance and mechanical reliability are required. The combination of a high-quality neoprene core and precisely matched textile braiding results in neoprene rubber ropes that [...]

Natural rubber as an elastomer for high-quality rubber ropes Natural rubber, technically known as NR (natural rubber), is a proven, renewable elastomer material with outstanding elastic properties. In our rubber rope production, we use natural rubber wherever maximum elasticity, high resilience and particularly dynamic elastic behaviour are required. The precise processing of the natural rubber core and the coordinated textile braiding create [...]

New customisation options thanks to multifunctional 3D printer We recently decided to purchase another device for our rubber cord production: an FDM 3D printer with functions for engraving, laser cutting, digital cutting (vinyl etc.) and drawing/pen mode. With this purchase, we are now able to laser engrave our stop parts, such as pipe sections or cable lugs, with individual labelling [...].

An overview of our rubber types When developing and manufacturing our high-quality rubber ropes, the choice of elastomer material plays a key role in function, durability and performance. Depending on the technical requirements, such as weather resistance, elasticity, temperature tolerance or dynamic behaviour, environmental conditions (e.g. ozone exposure or oils), we use different types of rubber and material-related elastomer concepts. The following [...]
