When should you use a TUFF vs. a hook-and-loop fastener? Touch-activated ultra-thin film fasteners: • Offer a limited number of engagement/disengagement cycles • Designed for maximum shear performance • Peel resistance is defined by how aggressively the engagement elements lock onto the free fibre or filament lengths • Typically used in single-use applications for hygiene products with low peel performance and adhesive tape replacement in high-peel durable applications • Can be recycled or incinerated at the end of the product’s life cycle Hook-and-loop fasteners: • Ideal for temporary or repositionable durable applications • Easy to use and engage/disengage hundreds to thousands of times • Suitable for replacing closures like buttons, snaps and zips • Can be washed in home or commercial laundry systems Next time, we will tell you more about the forces in TUFFs! #binder #tuffs #innovativefasteningsolutions #madeingermany #quality
