3M Dual Lock TB3550 black hook & loop tape comes in a 1 inwidth, uses an acrylic adhesive and is packaged 1 mated strip per inner, 8bags per case. Can be used to a maximum temperature of +200 degF. Theseproducts are generally considered “hook & loop” products. While thetraditional system is that of a hook and a loop some of these products alsouse an interlocking mushroom like head. This particular 3M item is themushroom hook side with a density of 250 stems/in2. This is an adhesive basedhook & loop tape. From the Manufacturer Strength in NumbersOne little mushroomwon’t accomplish much in this world, but pair him up with a few hundred of hisfriends and he becomes nearly unstoppable. Teamwork, that’s the idea behindthe design on the 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener TB3550. When joinedtogether, these unique, mushroom-shaped stems combine to interlock with oneanother, generating five times the closure strength of typical hook and loopfasteners while maintaining the ability to easily peel-apart for quickaccess.3M Dual Lock TB3550 Reclosable Fastener contains approximately 250mushroom-shaped head stems per square inch. When two pieces of Dual Lock arepressed together the stems flex and the mushroom heads slide past each other.After mating, the stem snaps back into its original position, interlockingwith the opposing heads with an audible snap that signals the fastener isengaged. This system can be opened and closed 1,000 times while maintaining50% of the original tensile strength. No Drilling, Screwing, Tightening, orComplex Installation3M Dual Lock TB3550 uses an acrylic adhesive that bondswell to a variety of high medium surface energy materials, including someplastics, metal, glass and painted surfaces. This ensures a quick and easyinstallation without the use of mechanical attachment processes. The adhesivesticks quickly and reaches full strength after 72 hours. Once bonded theinterlocked, mushroom-shaped stems provide an attachment that holds as well asscrews or rivets, yet separates easily for access.Versatile, Durable andInvisibleThere’s no limit to the number of uses for 3M Dual Lock fasteners.The stems, mushroom tops, and film backing are constructed of clearpolypropylene, and the polyolefin backing resist common solvents and alkalinesolutions, making them ideal for a variety of purposes and environments. Thefastener is recommended for use at temperatures ranging from -20F/-29C to200F/93C. Hidden from view when attached, these fasteners provide a clean,unbroken surface, and stay strong through more than 1,000 open-close cycles.Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners are used extensively in transportation,electronics, business equipment, machinery, medical, and sign and displaymarkets. They are ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications including:attaching signs, cushions, enclosure and access panels, banners, doors,adjustable shelving, vehicle ceiling panels, furniture seats and backs, andmuch more.
