Description
Hook and Loop is a two-part fastening system. One side has small hooks, whilst the other side has soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks latch onto the loops creating a secure bond. Once attached, the two sides can be pulled apart easily and reused as many times as required.
Hook and loop is one of the most practical fastening solutions, due to it being convenient and durability. It is quick and easy to use due to having an adhesive backing.
Hook and loop is widely used in everyday items as well as industrial and medical applications.
Dimensions: 25mm x 25m (other variations available upon request)
Colour: Black / White

How to apply Hook and Loop
Before applying hook and loop tape, surfaces should be clean, dry and free of any dirt, dust and grease. For the best results, we recommend using CTA IPA Cleaner Degreaser.
- Use sufficient pressure over the whole surface at room temperature to ensure maximum adhesion to substrates.
- The ideal application temperature is between 15 – 25°C.
- Primers can increase the bond durability and surface tension for difficult to bond materials. We recommend CTA Primer or CTA UV Identifiable Primer to achieve the best results.
- Ensure uniform stress distribution.
