• Constructed of continuous rubber elastic strands with an outer nylon sheath. Bungee cord materials consist of Polypropylene¹, heavy duty nylon, OCE fiber², and EPDM³ rubber strands.
• Excellent resistance to abrasion and fatigue.
• Good stretch ability combined with good recovery rate.
• Longer lasting than surgical tubing.
• Once, cut to order, no return or exchange.
• When you purchase more than 10 ft, your bungee will be in one  “continuous” length.

• Cord that is stretched too far: Do not stretch your bungee cord greater than 75% of its static length limits. Stretch the elastic cord cautiously, as uncontrolled release can cause severe injuries to unprotected body parts, particularly to the eyes.
   
• Widely Varying Load Pressures: Do not use when load variations or shifting in large proportions as in top heavy loads or lengthy items, particularly where movement may create extensive swaying or rocking action as to cause abnormal wear on the bungee cord.
   
• Airfoil Type Load: Do not secure a large surface which can "airplane" or rise through the air, such as a surfboard
  or large section of plywood, etc.  While the bungee will hold the piece in place, the pressure from the air will cause the bungee to stretch and give way to securing a tight control on the item you are tying down.
   
• Used Without Good Judgment: Reef Scuba Accessories cannot be responsible for  Bungee Elastic Shock Cord use in situations where the bungee cord is used for creating a situation where injury is possible. When in doubt, use regular twine cord or chain.
   
• Do not use old or badly frayed bungee cord.  It is less expensive to replace the bungee cord than to take risks.
   
• This statement is here, not only as a disclaimer, but to make you think of the consequences that could happen if you do not use your bungee cord properly.

Footnotes:

1. Polypropylene - A thermoplastic polymer (a material that is plastic or deformable) made by the chemical industry and used in a wide variety of applications, This allows polypropylene to be used as a replacement for engineering plastics. Polypropylene is rugged, often somewhat stiffer than some other plastics, reasonably economical, and can be made translucent when uncolored but not completely transparent as polystyrene, acrylic or certain other plastics can be made. It can also be made opaque and/or have many kinds of colors. Polypropylene has very good resistance to fatigue.
    

2. OCE fiber - The type of fiber used in the nylon sheath that gives it additional strength and durability. Has higher resistance to ultraviolet rays and extreme heat - up to 160º.
    

3. EPDM rubber - Ethylene propylene diene monomerrubber is a rubber compound which is characterized by a wide range of applications. When the application requires the rubber to withstand atmospheric conditions; ozone, sunlight  general purpose EPDM rubber is most suitable. Good ageing properties.  EPDM rubber is used in seals; glass-run channel; radiator, garden and appliance hoses; tubing; washers; belts; and electrical insulation. It is also used as a medium for water resistance in high-voltage polymeric cable jointing installations, roofing membrane, rubber mechanical goods, plastic impact modification, thermoplastic, vulcanizates, as a motor oil additive, pond liner, and electrical cable-jointing applications.
