VELCRO® Brand hook and loop products are available with a variety of adhesives to best fit your application. Before using an adhesive for production, it should be tested to determine the suitability of the product for its intended use. Woven VELCRO® Brand tapes have a binder coat which helps prevent fraying of the tapes when cut. Due to this coating, many commercially available adhesives will not readily adhere to the back of woven tape. Therefore, the use of a VELCRO® Brand pre-coated adhesive backing is recommended. Please contact us if you have special requirements.
