FAQs
What is Hook and Loop and why do I need both of them?
If you look at a hook and loop fastener (known commonly by its most well known manufacturer "VELCRO® USA) closely you will see that there are 2 distinct parts. The hook, or hard/scratchy side is just that, a series of tiny little hooks. The loop or soft/fuzzy side provides a place for the hooks to grab a hold, giving you the closure you need. There are some possible exceptions. For example some people will only need hook if they are attaching to a loop like fabric (ie. a some carpets, some cubicle walls).
What do you mean by cycle-life?
Cycle life is the number of times you can engage and disengage the fastener and it still has at least 50% or its original strength. The cycle life will vary depending on the quaility and design of the fastener as well as how you use it.
What is the short answer for the difference between rubber and acrylic adhesive?
Generically:
Rubber adhesive sticks and reaches full strength quickly, lasts relativly less time and is cheaper.
Acrylic adhesive lasts much longer, provides a stronger bond, takes 24 hours or more to reach full strength, and is more expensive.
What does "Kiss cut" mean? Kiss cut means that the parts are die cut all the way through, to the liner, but the liner is not cut. So if you have 250 coins, they end up in a roll with a continuous liner holding them together, as opposed to 250 individual pieces in a bag.
What are Coins?
Coins, dots, circles all refer to the same idea: Dual Lock or Hook & Loop fasteners cut into a round shape for convenience or aesthetic needs.
Mated vs. Single? Mated refers to either Dual Lock or Hook & Loop engaged together. For example if you have a mated strip of hook & loop, you have 1 piece of the hook, and 1 piece of the loop pressed together.
Single: Single is just one side of the hook or loop, or one piece of Dual Lock without the matching piece to complete the fastening. Purchasing this way makes it easer to apply each side seperatley.
What is a pressure sensitive adhesive?
A pressure sensitive adhesive is an adhesive the requires some sort of force, whether a hand, or a roller, to activate the adhesive.
