Applications
Characteristics
High-quality fastener that consists of hooks and loops created from many years of experience and advanced technology. It offers convenience with a tight fit and easy removal with one press, excellent lightness and durability, and is adjustable to preferred size. As a fastening system with many benefits, it is utilized in a wide range of areas from apparel and household items to industrial products.
Additionally, previous hook-and-loop fasteners used polyurethane resin, which required use of an organic solvent as a reinforcement back-coat agent on the rear side to maintain adhesiveness and prevent decline in durability due to fraying during the washing process. However, Kuraray Fastening has established a new manufacturing method for an environmentally friendly fastener that takes into account environmental considerations and does not use a back-coat agent. Since it does not use a polyurethane resin, this material meets fireproof standards for trains, automobiles, and other applications without the need for fireproof processing. As it is a polyester material, recycling is possible just as with PET bottles.
