We're trying to make tye-dye t-shirts with rubber bands and we wanted to know the melting point of rubber bands........

Its pretty high... higher than the ignition point for the cloth. It degrades rapidly at high temperatures, like 200 degrees, but the melting point is higher.

Octadecyl Mercaptan (ODM)-Effective Molecular Weight Modifier and shows improved chain transfer activity over traditional thiols. - Molecular Weight 262, Melting Point 18-20 C
Hexadecyl Mercaptan (HDM) Molecular Weight 284, Melting Point 30 C
11-Mercapto Undecanoic Acid (MUNDA)- Exceptional Chain Transfer activity, giving excellent control of the process and molecular weight of polymerisation. - Molecular Weight 218, M.Pt. 47-50 C

they do no longer look to be rubber, they are silicone. what's strange approximately doing the undertaking with the excellent kit. putting rubber bands in a microwave or toaster can initiate a fire......that's what i might call naive and unusual.

I don't know, but every time I've made tye-dye shirts it hasn't been a problem...so I would not worry too much.

it's higher than you think. unless you're torching it whereas the shirts will be on fire before you melt the bands

Same as rubber.
