Customer Applications:
A conversion van, truck and car manufacturer uses this product as well as Sew-On Hook and MVA8 Hook in order to customize vehicles. This is done by adding custom flooring, seating, lighting, sound systems and running boards, as well as special assistance customizations.
Many automotive customizations can be done using these fasteners since the acrylic adhesive has a high temperature rating and items such as paneling, seating and electronics can all be secured without taking up a lot of time or space. This also makes it easy to replace, repair or switch out customized pieces.
Hook and loop is a two component fastener popularized by the VELCRO® Brand.
The hook is the rough, scratchy side and the loop is the soft, fuzzy side.

Which adhesive is right for me?
We offer two kinds of pressure sensitive adhesives. A rubber based adhesive, and an acrylic based adhesive. For these adhesives, you simply peel off the release liner and stick the adhesive into place.
The rubber adhesive is a high tack adhesive that bonds well to a wide variety of substrates including rough and uneven surfaces. Some examples include plastic, drywall, wood, metal, and glass. This adhesive is a good all-around adhesive, but it doesn't hold up as well to moisture and chemical use. It's operating temperature is good up to 120-190F, depending on the brand.
The acrylic adhesive is a medium tack adhesive that bonds well to smooth surfaces like glass, stainless steel and aluminum. It also bonds well to certain plastics. This adhesive holds up better to moisture and chemicals and has a wider operating temperature range, good up to 225-240F, depending on the brand.
