3M™ Hook and Loop Fasteners
-
A Flexible, Efficient Reclosure Option
You want your closure to go on easily but securely, be conformable to your part shape and stay closed until you’re ready for it to easily peel open. 3M™ Hook and Loop Fasteners offer maximum flexibility to both the shape of your part and for product design and manufacturing.
- 3M Adhesives: These hook and loop fasteners have 3M Industrial Adhesives on the back so they’re easy to apply and engineered to adhere to a variety of substrates across multiple applications
- Easy-Remove Liner: Easy-release liner improves manufacturing cycle times by eliminating liner struggles while the Easy Peel Edge is designed to be peeled off by a machine or by hand
- Up to 5,000 Closures Strong: 3M™ Hook and Loop Fasteners can withstand a lifetime of being opened and reclosed up to 5,000 times
-
Exploring possibilities? Besides basic 3M™ Hook and Loop Fasteners we have low profile/thin tapes and back-to-back options for wrapping, plus trial bags of small quantities for testing.

Easy to Use, Easy to Apply
Easy to Apply: Just peel off the protective liner from each mated piece of 3M™ Hook and Loop, attach them to your separate pieces (using a roller to ensure good adhesion) and then push the pieces together. Alternate method: Peel the protective liner from one side and attach the mated strip to one surface using a roller to ensure good adhesion, then peel the other liner to expose the adhesive and attach your second surface, pressing down to ensure good adhesion; the pieces can then be peeled apart for access.
Easy to Maintain: Just detach the pieces for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Easy to Replace: To change a sign or replace a panel, remove the original sign or panel and apply a new strip of either 3M™ Hook or 3M™ Loop to the new piece as described above and push the pieces together.
An Efficient Solution for Many Situations
For pieces that need to be removable or even exchanged with a similar assembly, consider 3M™ Hook and Loop Fasteners. These flexible tapes are engineered to be opened and reclosed up to 5,000 times and can also help damp vibrations in vehicle interiors such as bus or rail car panels. For fabrics, apparel, cushions, and mats, 3M’s fastener technology is robust, resilient, and available in a variety of colors.

A stronger hold that’s still easy to open and reclose
-
If your application requires opening and reclosure with more holding strength, look to 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners. The interlocking mushroom heads engage with a snap for 5x the tensile strength of hook and loop fasteners, yet are easy to peel apart.
