Hook and loop from SD Products 03 November 2016

SD Products Ltd has added a large range of VELCRO® Brand hook and loop fasteners to its catalogue for use in a variety of applications including cable management, numerous domestic applications, and the automotive sector.

Hook and loop fasteners naturally consist of two components – one fabric strip fitted with tiny polyester hooks and another fitted with tiny loops. When both fabric strips are pressed together they form a temporary but secure bond, which can vary in strength depending on material and application. The bond can be easily separated by hand when peeling the strips apart. However, when the force is applied equally across the surface of the fabric strip, hook and loop fasteners can hold considerable weight without compromising the bond.
Hook and loop fasteners are easy to use and extremely versatile, as well as being safe, reliable and low maintenance. They are particularly popular in clothing and fabric manufacture, ranging from adaptive clothing for people with physical disabilities to combat uniforms for the army.
“SD Products is proud to be a distributor for Velcro Industries, we supply numerous lines of VELCRO® Brand hook and loop fasteners and we can always guarantee the quality of our products. Our range includes heavy-duty stick on tape, reusable ties, adjustable straps, plant ties and more,” comments SD Products.
Although these fasteners can be produced by many different manufacturers VELCRO Brand is very much synonymous with hook and loop. It’s not uncommon for people to refer to hook and loop simply as ‘Velcro’.
Velcro Industries is a worldwide corporation with over 60 years of experience in the market. Iwt still holds a patent on hook and loop technology.
