The KeeperĀ® Engineered 19 in EPDM rubber compound takes rubber straps to the next level of strength and durability. Unlike most competitors' straps constructed from inferior rubber, these straps won't crack, rot or lose rebound qualities with repeated use. It features quality rubber that remains non-brittle in temperatures as low as -40 deg F, high-temperature or demanding elements to be used year-round. The zinc-plated, steel hooks resist corrosion and won't bend, break or rust as easily making KeeperĀ® EPDM rubber straps the best choice when it comes to securing valuables.
