Hook and Loop
top
How do I select the correct hook and loop for my application?

Troyer Products offers many different closure (hook and loop) combinations. It is best to contact our Customer Sales Representatives, explain your application including any specific performance criteria such as peel, shear or cycle-life; and the number of openings or closings required.

They will either immediately recommend several combinations that may meet your applications needs or inquire with our engineering staff on possible solutions.

An important reminder is to always test the recommendations in the application to determine if they meet the applications needs prior to purchasing and manufacturing.

What is Hook and Loop Tape?

The Hook side is the rough or hard side, it is often referred to as the "male", "bristly" or "hard" side; while the Loop side is the soft or fuzzy side and often referred to as the "female", "plush" or "pile" side.

Although there are many types of both hook & loop tape(s), the end use of the product will help determine which product would be best for your application.

When you call or e-mail Troyer Products with your requirements, we will be happy to suggest a specific product and explain why it will best serve your needs.

What widths can does your hook and loop come in?

The products Troyer Products offers can be manufactured in the following widths:

Woven hook and loop with or without adhesive up to 6" wide
ULTRAMATE® Brand HTH hooks up to 12" wide
VELTEX® Brand Display loops 60" wide
Hook Compatible Knitted Fabrics 60" wide

I need a specific size of hook and loop. Can Troyer help me?

Troyer Products will be happy to cut any width material to your exact Measurements (called cut to size).

If the hook & loop materials are to be cut to the same size, we can Cut and Mate the two together to assist in decreasing assembly time.

The yield for cut pieces is equivalent to a full roll of material (25yds = 900 inches) divided by the length you specify (for standard straight cut pieces only).

How do I figure out what adhesive I need for my VELCRO® Brand hook and loop product?

To figure out what adhesive you need for your particular application look at the Adhesive Guide courtesy of Velcro USA, Inc., by clicking HERE or by clicking the PDF icon to the right.

What should I use to clean the mounting surface before using your adhesive backed products?

You can use any cleaner that will not leave a film or oily surface. We recommend using alcohol prep pads.

What adhesive-backed product is best for outdoor use?

Industrial Strength, Rough Surface and Plastic Surface VELCRO® brand fasteners work well outdoors. Please consult the Adhesives Guide carefully to determine which one is best for your application. If you still have questions, call us at: 574.848.4393 and a customer service agent will assist you; or, click HERE to use our contact form.

I used an adhesive-backed product and want to now remove it. How do I do that?

The best method to remove any of our adhesive-backed products is to use a citrus based adhesive remover. Be sure to read the instructions on the adhesive remover carefully.
