protruding up from the backing strip. When two pieces of the fasteners are pressed together, the mushroom heads interlock
with an audible snap. To open, simply pull apart. This provides fast, secure, reclosable fastening performance for a wide
range of applications. Cycle life exceeds 1,000 reclosures.
