Reclosable Attachment Systems and Fasteners
VELCRO® Brand Hook and Loop Fasteners
The VELCRO® Brand woven hook and loop fastener is where it all began. Our nylon HOOK 88® and LOOP 1000® is used just about everywhere! Our family of woven fasteners includes the traditional nylon hook and loop, in addition to a number of other nylon and polyester fasteners. Each hook and loop style offers its own unique set of performance and aesthetic characteristics.
"Mushroom" Snap Technology
Industrial fasteners provide an appealing high tensile strength to replace mechanical fasteners in many applications. These fasteners are versatile and can be fabricated to meet many design specifications. When Reclosable Fasteners are pressed together, hundreds of mushroom-shaped stems interlock with one another forming a "positive" engaged fastener. A mechanical "click" ensures engagement.
