3M™ Reclosable Fasteners

Reclosable Fasteners provide a point of attachment where one object can be removed, readjusted, and reattached to its original position against the other. The most well-known version of reclosable fastener is Velcro however in recent years there have been new innovative technologies introduced such as the 3M™ Dual Lock™ which can be regarded as the industrial versions of hook and loop (Velcro).

The key to Dual Lock is an innovative interlocking design. When both sides of Dual Lock tape are applied together, mushroom-shaped heads interlock and snap into place, providing five times the tensile strength of traditional hook-and-loop fasteners.
