In a vehicle’s interior, many elements are adjustable, including seats, tables, and storage spaces. To function properly, these elements rely in particular on elastic cords capable of accompanying these movements without stretching or breaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discreet yet indispensable, elastic cords ensure that many pieces of equipment function properly. It is thanks to them that a rear shelf lifts smoothly and a net remains stretched tight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject to high stresses, these products must be both strong and flexible in order to maintain their performance even after repeated use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The different types of cords for vehicle interiors<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on their position in the car, elastic cords perform very different functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can limit movement, maintain tension, or simply accompany the movement of another element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each type of cord is designed to meet specific requirements: mechanical strength, elongation, flexibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The cords connect the shelf to the tailgate of the car trunk.
    \nEach time it is opened or closed, they ensure smooth, regular movement while keeping the shelf in the correct position.
    \nThese movement limiters are designed to withstand repeated cycles without losing tension or risking breakage.<\/p>\n

    Their elasticity must be controlled: if they are too flexible, the movement becomes unstable; if they are too rigid, the part wears out prematurely.
    \nIt is this delicate balance between elasticity and resistance that guarantees the reliability of the system over time.<\/p>\n

    This type of cord generally incorporates overmolded fastening ends. Some are equipped with an EPDM sphere. This small element prevents the cord from getting stuck in the trunk lid.<\/p>\n

    The sphere is heavy enough to descend into the trunk and prevent the cord from getting stuck. Made of a flexible material, it eliminates noise when moving, ensuring optimal acoustic comfort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Stringing cords are used when assembling upholstered seats.
    \nThey serve to keep the cover (fabric or leather) taut over the foam, without creases or deformation. They thus ensure that the seat upholstery remains in place.<\/p>\n

    Although invisible once the seat is assembled, drawstrings have a direct impact on perceived quality. This level of finish contributes significantly to seating comfort, the feeling of quality, and, more broadly, the overall customer experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Storage nets located behind the front seats of the car, on the side panels, or in the trunk are often made up of a frame with elastic cords. They allow the net to be easily stretched to store items.<\/p>\n

    The cords must be designed to absorb a certain amount of stretching without the risk of breaking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Choice of cord dimensions and materials<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Selecting dimensions<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As a crucial step in product design, you must begin by defining the key characteristics of the cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The diameter will have an impact on the technical properties of the product. Elastic cords are generally available in diameters ranging from 1.5 to 8 mm, depending on requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The smallest diameters are suitable for elements that do not require high tensile strength, such as small storage nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Larger diameters are suitable for elements requiring high return force, such as shelf supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The length of the cable will also depend on several factors, such as the distance between the two attachment points, the required elongation, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing the wrong dimensions will impact the performance and safety of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choice of materials<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Each component of the cord can be made from different materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We offer covers made from high-quality materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, cotton, polyamide, Kevlar, aramid, fiberglass, and even copper, ensuring strength and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The core of our cords can be made of natural latex, Fulflex, elastane, elastomer, or EPDM. These materials are carefully selected to ensure optimal performance, tailored to each use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
