Double sided Aplix® tapes

The attachment system for APLIX® self-gripping fasteners is based on two strips. Due to their high strength, these fasteners can be used thousands of times.

One strip is covered with the grippers secured to a support whereas the other strip has a support which forms the backing for the loops.To activate the fastening system, simply press the two strips together to engage the grippers with the loops.

Different materials are used to produce the supports: polyamide, polyester, stainless steel, PPS, Nomex®.

Different gripper profiles are used: hook, mushroom or harpoon.

The characteristics of the loop side vary as a function the density, texture and diameter of the filaments.

The specification for each side is selected to suit the specific application: e.g. binding cables or securing tarpaulins.

The rear side of the support (made of nylon or polyamide) is coated with an acrylic or rubber adhesive or is sewn (onto fabrics and cloths) which makes it possible to secure the system to a wide variety of surfaces.
