We are New Zealand’s leading shockcord (bungy) manufacturer
Designed to withstand the toughest environments, be long lasting and maintain more than 100% stretch and recovery, Prout Shockcord has only the highest quality pure latex rubber. The outer cover is braided with colourfast polyester to provide superior protection against abrasion and the harsh UV rays of New Zealand and Australia. We now have the capability to manufacture shockcord using solid core rubber if required - contact us for more information.
We make industrial and marine grade shock cord for the clothing, automotive, marine, agricultural, horticultural and outdoor leisure markets. We can produce to any specification from 2mm in diameter through to 16mm diameter. Prout Shockcord can be produced to almost any colour specification (depending on availability of yarn). We maintain universal strength and stretch specifications for individual sizes, however, these specifications can be adjusted to manufacture a harder or softer cord (with more or less stretch) if required. All shock cord produced is measured and checked to ensure that quality standards are adhered to before it is wound onto reels ready for packaging and dispatch.
Prout Shockcord is of two component construction with an extremely tough woven outer sheath covering a multi-strand rubber core. The cord is light-weight, strong, wear-resistant and long lasting. We can custom manufacture cord with less than 100% stretch or up to 200% stretch if required. Most of our stock cord is black or white (with a colour fleck), we also keep some lines in different colours and can respond to specific requests.
Customers with specific stretch, colour or other custom requirements should contact us - we are happy to work with you and come up with a solution for your project and send samples for approval.
