Hook-and-loop - Weldable

Weldable hook-and-loop tape is a fastening material for connecting and closing suitable thermoplastic fabrics. It consists of hook and loop sections that create a fastening which can be opened and closed easily.

This version is designed for use with an appropriate textile welding method. It allows the tape to be attached to compatible materials without a separate stitched connection.

Applications

Weldable hook-and-loop tape is used in sailmaking, truck tarpaulins, tents, protective covers and technical textile products. It is suitable for PVC fabric constructions requiring a weldable closure that can be opened repeatedly.

What should you consider?

Check that the tape and base material are compatible with the same welding method. Consider material coating, temperature, pressure and welding time. Not every version can be processed using every textile welding machine.

Processing and use

Cut the tape to size and position the hook and loop sections on the material. Attach them using a suitable industrial textile welding machine and verify the bond with a test weld. Avoid damaging the fastening surfaces through excessive heat.

Matching products

Weldable hook-and-loop tape can be combined with suitable PVC-coated fabrics and industrial textile welding machines. The correct welding method and settings depend on the material combination.

Alternative or other version

Weldable hook-and-loop tape is available in hook and loop versions in white and black, in widths of 20, 25, 30, 38, 50 and 100mm. The tape is supplied on 25-metre rolls. Sew-on and self-adhesive versions are also available.
