Hook & Loop comes in several different varieties:
Each has its own strong points and uses. Nylon is less expensive than polyester but polyester holds up better in wet environments. Sew on material takes sewing, but once affixed it is there to stay. Self adhesive will adhere to smooth surfaces but not fabrics. Double sided is perfect for wrapping around items and securing them.
Hook & Loop has two components, the hook side is rough to the touch while the loop side is smooth. We sell each component, hook and loop, separately so you can purchase just what you need (although you do need to remember to order both sides). If you want to have sew on hook and self adhesive loop you can do that without wasting material.
The hook & loop we sell is designed to work with the industry standard MIL-F-1840G standard. This provides high shear strength and excellent cycle life. There are other standards on the market and they do not work with each other but the majority of the hook & loop used is the MIL-F-1840G type.
If you need Velcro® brand product, we can special order it for you but our stocking inventory is an imported product with no specific brand name. It is totally adequate for most every application.
