Adhesives have made countless tasks much easier. Imagine having a roll of duct tape handy for quick fixes, or using masking tape to protect surfaces from paint. In industrial settings, structural adhesives and high-performance double-sided tapes often outperform rivets, screws, and welding in terms of efficiency. In fact, adhesives—whether in the form of tapes or liquids—can revolutionize many processes, making them simpler, faster, safer, cleaner, and more aesthetically pleasing. It's also worth noting that adhesive solutions are so diverse that it's hard to know them all. For example, not many people are familiar with the features and benefits of reusable fastening systems.
What Are Reusable Fastening Systems?
Some fastenings are meant to last forever, such as those done with welding, structural adhesives, or rivets. Others, however, are designed to be temporary or allow for easy opening and closing without replacing the components involved. Classic methods like velcro buttons, screws, bolts, or removable rivets are often used. But there’s a much more convenient option that often replaces traditional methods effectively: adhesive reusable fastening systems. These are special adhesive tapes that have an adhesive layer on one side to stick securely to a surface, and on the other side, they feature hooks that can latch onto another similar tape, allowing for secure yet easy closure. This system is commonly referred to as hook and loop. Typically, these tapes have mushroom-shaped heads that provide strong grip while still allowing for easy separation, without requiring drilling, additional tools, or damaging the overall design.
In What Situations Can You Use Hook and Loop Tapes?
Hook and loop tapes can be used in a wide range of applications, thanks to the variety of materials they are designed for. Leading manufacturers offer tapes suitable for metal, glass, plastic, and more. A common use case is in the transportation industry, where these tapes replace screws used to fix panels to ceilings and walls. Applying and removing panels becomes much easier, simplifying maintenance. They’re also very practical for setting up and dismantling trade show displays or securing commercial signs. In all cases, you get a secure but non-permanent fastening solution that requires only the application of two hook and loop tapes.
Types of Reusable Fastening Systems
As is often the case in the industrial adhesive world, 3M is a key reference for reusable fastening systems. What sets apart different 3M hook and loop tapes? The differences start with the type of material they are designed for—some are intended for translucent surfaces, others for metals and plastics, and some for flexible surfaces or powder-coated areas. The holding power and thickness also vary: some tapes are very thin, measuring just 2.5 mm when closed, while others are thicker, around 6 mm. Some are meant for indoor use, while others can be used outdoors. Additionally, the number of openings and closings they can withstand varies, typically ranging from over 1,000 to 5,000 cycles.
For example, the 3Mâ„¢ Dual Lockâ„¢ SJ3560 is designed for metal, glass, plastic, and powder-coated surfaces, and can endure up to 1,000 openings and closings with a total thickness of 5.7 mm. Each square centimeter of this tape contains 40 hooks, ensuring a strong and reliable hold. Whether for temporary or permanent applications, these systems offer a smart, efficient, and versatile alternative to traditional fastening methods.
