• Adhesion: Because the hooks and loops are mixed together on the same surface, the adhesive strength is weaker than standard hook and loop pairs.
• Suitable usages: Recommended to use in applications where lightweight attachment is sufficient and only one piece of fastener material is desired.
• Supply options: 25 meters per roll, or cut to specific lengths, or custom processed into shapes as inquired
3. Then, what is "Double-sided Hook and Loop" mentioned above?
"Double-sided Hook and Loop" refers to "hooks on the entire front side, and loops on the entire back side,"which means the back sides of hooks and loops are laminated together, so it is also called "Back-to-back Hook and Loop." It is commonly used as the material for cable ties and straps.
