Have you considered using a weldable adhesive when attaching a Hook and Loop Fastener to a substrate? This method provides a stronger permanent bond that is watertight. This type of adhesive is commonly used by manufacturers of Tents, Shelters, Canopies, Awnings, Covers, Inflatables, etc.
MJ weldable Hook and Loop tape can be used in conjunction with a high-frequency welding machine to create a strong seamless bond.
Weldable adhesive provides a permanent, waterproof adhesion that is more durable than other attachment methods and extends the lifecycle of the finished product.
Reasons to use weldable adhesive:
- provides a stronger permanent bond (weldable adhesive is heat activated and permanently bonds to the substrate)
- provides a waterproof seal (sewing Hook and Loop perforates the substrate which eliminates any waterproof characteristics)
- quicker to apply (weldable Hook and Loop is applied by a machine which is more accurate and time effective than manual sewing)
- provides a longer lifecycle for the end product (sewing Hook and Loop modifies the fastener by piercing holes in it which the thread is then woven through. Over time, the thread can fray and break which results in the fastener being separated from the substrate)
