What are Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Fasteners?

Self-adhesive hook and loop fasteners, also known as adhesive hook and loop, consist of two parts: the hook side and the loop side. These are simply pressed together to form a strong, reusable bond. Thanks to the self-adhesive backing, the hook and loop can be easily applied without tools.

Applications of Hook and Loop Tape

Hook and loop tape is widely used in various sectors, from DIY projects to professional applications. It is ideal for temporary or permanent attachment to smooth surfaces such as:

  • Wood
  • Plastic
  • Metal

Important Considerations for Use

Although self-adhesive hook and loop fasteners are easy to use, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • It adheres less well to fabrics or rough surfaces like walls.
  • The adhesive layer is not resistant to moisture.
  • On wood, it is often secured with staples for extra grip.
  • For fabrics, we recommend the sewable version of hook and loop.
  • For rough surfaces like walls, fabric glue can be used in combination with sewable hook and loop for a strong bond.

Benefits of Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Fasteners

Self-adhesive hook and loop fasteners offer a range of benefits:

  • No Tools Required: The adhesive backing ensures quick attachment.
  • Clean Removal: Leaves no adhesive residue on smooth surfaces.

Comparison Between Self-Adhesive, Sewable Hook and Loop, and Fabric Glue

Depending on the application, it is important to choose between self-adhesive, sewable hook and loop, and the use of fabric glue for rough surfaces. The table below shows the differences:

Property Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Sewable Hook and Loop Sewable Hook and Loop + Fabric Glue
Attachment Method Adhesive Backing Needle and thread Fabric glue and needle and thread (optional)
Suitable for Fabrics No Yes Yes
Suitable for Rough Surfaces Less suitable Less suitable Yes, when using fabric glue
Water Resistance Not water-resistant Water-resistant Depends on the glue type
Use on Hard, Smooth Surfaces Excellent Possible, but less practical Less practical, fabric glue is mainly for fabrics

When to Use Fabric Glue?

Fabric glue is an excellent solution when you want to attach hook and loop fasteners to a rough surface or fabric, but self-adhesive hook and loop is not strong enough. Fabric glue can be used with sewable hook and loop to create a reliable and durable bond, especially on rough or porous materials like textiles, cardboard, or even walls.

Fabric glue works best in combination with sewable hook and loop, where you apply the glue to the back of the hook and loop and press it firmly onto the surface. For extra strength, the hook and loop can also be sewn on, especially for intensive use.
