Product Description
The 3M
™
Scotchmate
™
Hook-and-Loop Fastener consists of two strips of fabric which mate together with light finger pressure.
The hook strip is covered with tiny, stiff hooks, about 300 hooks per square in (46/sq.cm.). The loop strip is covered with
thousands of soft pliable loops. When pressed together by hand, the hooks and loops mate to form a secure fastening
attachment. Simply pull the strips apart by hand to unfasten. Fasteners are made of 100% nylon and are pre-shrunk to provide
dimensional stability and flatness.
