Hook loop fasteners could be a real advantage for you

Hook loop fasteners are ordinarily used for more catches at one time. The fastener is two-faced system. One of the faces is covered with nylon loops. Other face is covered by nylon fibers. When they are pressed against each other they become capable of more catches. Due to pressing, some of the hooks sink and are caught in the loops.

These industrial fasteners are very powerful bonding element. It can support much greater weight compared to other types of fasteners. The loops and hooks of the fastener can be separated. Pull out some of the hooks and fibers from one of the edges and then when you continue the pulling they will un-catch, not all at a time but phase wise. There will be a ripping sound and hook-loop fastener becomes free.

You do not require bolts or ordinary sockets in this type of fasteners. You also do not require screws to tighten them. The entire system works on the principle of gripping. You can identify the hook loop fastener some times with brand names like Velcro created by the Swiss Scientist George de Mestral way back in the year 1948.  The name Velcro was a derivation from the French terms velour and crochet that means velvet and hook respectively. Though the fastener is not as popular as it used to be when invented, they are still used in shoe industry widely. Ease of use and low cost are the reasons for such popularity of the fastener in the industry.
