The Swiss engineer George de Mestral copied the mechanism of those plants and invented a revolutionary fastening system: the hook and loop fastener. VELCRO® brand Hook and Loop fastening tapes VELCRO® brand polyamide fasteners consist of two mating components: hook and loop. The woven hook tape consists of minute, flexible “hooks” which engage with a mating loop tape comprised of small, soft “loops”. When pressed together, the resulting closure is adjustable and highly secure, available in a variety of different hook strength and cycle life characteristics. Features The Velcro companies offer a wide variety of loop tapes (both woven and knit velours). Napped and unnapped woven loops are available. Napped tape consists of woven polyamide loops that are “randomly disorientated” in a separate operation after weaving. An unnapped tape is a woven polyamide tape that is not napped. The knit velour tape is suitable for applications ranging from high cycle to disposable use and also provides a low profile fastening closure Applications Velcro® brand hook and loop products are known worldwide for their flexability,adaptability and many uses,from closure fastening on coats to securing panels on a spaceship.It would be impossible to list all the applications that Velcro® is used for,but it is true to say that despite its global status,many homes could use Velcro to better effect.
