Know-how and experience required: What characteristics make your project successful?

Modern hook and loop fastening systems, loop and hook tapes have numerous different properties – depending on what they are needed and used for. What are they – and what is important?

What are the key characteristics of modern hook-and-loop fastening systems?

  • Good flame-retardant properties depending on individual requirements
  • Project-specific adaptability and flexibility
  • Particular durability
  • Can be integrated flat and discreetly as required
  • Can be sewn on if required
  • Alternatively self-adhesive if required
  • Ultrasonic weldable if required
  • Can be high-frequency welded if required
  • Highly water-repellent properties depending on individual requirements
  • Good washable properties
  • Highly solvent-resistant, depending on requirements
  • High heat and weather resistance depending on requirements
  • IRR-coated (infrared protection) if required
  • Particularly skin-friendly properties if required

Equally relevant: What materials are modern hook-and-loop fastener products made of?

  • Polyamide or polyester
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS)
  • Aramid (AR)
  • Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Often make the decisive difference: cutting and peeling capabilities of professional hook and loop fastener products

Depending on the individual application, different shear and peel strengths as well as different opening cycles must be differentiated. They make a decisive difference in terms of safety and product quality – but also, of course, in terms of the specific use of your project. Tensile strength, shear strength and peel adhesion are relevant performance characteristics, but they also depend on how many opening cycles a hook and loop fastener is expected to undergo in its application.

Different requirements for opening cycles, shear strength and peel strength:

Illustrative examples: Shoe or bag fasteners should, of course, still be able to close properly, firmly and securely even after frequent and regular opening. The situation is quite different for applications that require a permanent – and therefore even more secure – fastening. Such applications can be found, for example, in the construction industry for fastening roof panels and similar items.
