Abstract
An elastic composite is provided having natural rubber and epoxidized natural rubber components. Compared to known composites, the present composition achieves reduced oil swell and absorption, lower permanent set, lower modulus of elasticity, and high tear strength. When formed in a tape, the composition is extremely useful for legbands, straps and contours of swimwear and other garments.
