They offer greater design flexibility, faster product assembly, smoother and cleaner exterior surfaces and improved product performance in many applications. The hook and loop fasteners consist of two strips of nylon fabric which engage to form a quick fastening attachment. Simply pull the strips apart by hand to disengage. The woven hook backing is covered with flexible self supporting J shaped hooks, about 300 hooks per square inch (46/sq. cm.) protruding up from a woven backing. The woven loop backing is covered with thousands of soft, pliable loops, providing for thousands of openings and closings (cycles). The loops can be napped or unnapped providing higher cycle life. The hook and loop are preshrunk to insure maximum dimensional stability and flatness. These Scotchmate reclosable hook and loop fasteners can be coated on the backside with various pressure sensitive adhesives.

Vibration or side to side movement tends to improve closure performance. Closure characteristics are indicated by typical values. Closure Performance for plainback productsa Typical Dynamic T-Peel, lb./inch width (grams/cm width); ASTM D5170: 2.6 (466) Dynamic Shear, pounds force/square inch (Newtons/cm2); ASTM D5169: 10 (6.9) Dynamic Tensile, pounds force/square inch (Newtons/cm2): 8 (5.5) a. 3MTM ScotchmateTM Reclosable Fastener Hook and Loop Products were disengaged at a rate of 12" (305 mm)/minute. Attachment Techniques The following information is intended to assist the designer considering the use of 3MTM ScotchmateTM Reclosable Fasteners. Final product performance depends on actual conditions, including the fastener selected, the conditions in which the fastener is applied and the time and environmental conditions in which it is expected to perform. Because many of these factors are uniquely within the user's knowledge and control, it is required that the user evaluate the 3M product to determine whether it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for the user's method of application and desired end use. As a general rule, four square inches of Scotchmate reclosable fastener area per pound of static load to be supported is suggested as a starting point for evaluation. More or less area may be needed depending on specific conditions or end use applications. There are typically six different methods for attaching Scotchmate reclosable fasteners to various surfaces.For complete details on techniques and options for attaching fasteners, please see Attachment of 3MTM ScotchmateTM and Dual LockTM Reclosable Fasteners technical bulletin (70-0709-3929-6). The most important techniques for these Scotchmate reclosable fastener products are summarized on page 5. -4- 3M Scotchmate TM TM Nylon Reclosable Fasteners Attachment Techniques (continued) Pressure Sensitive Adhesive attachment: The 3MTM ScotchmateTM Reclosable Fasteners and adherend surfaces should have equilibrated for a minimum of 1 hour at temperatures of 68F (20C) or greater before application. These adhesive backed Scotchmate reclosable fasteners should be applied to surfaces that are smooth, dry and free of oils, mold release agents or other surface contaminants. The adherend should be cleaned to remove any surface contaminants with an appropriate cleaning method for the customer's substrate, type and quantity of surface contaminants that need to be removed. Note: Follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use of the cleaning method(s) chosen. After the adherend is clean, the liner is removed from the fastener and without touching the adhesive, the Scotchmate reclosable fastener is applied to the surface using firm roller pressure to help ensure complete adhesive contact to substrate. Adhesive bond strength increases with time, as the adhesive flows into the substrate structure. Handling strength is achieved immediately. Approximately 50% of ultimate bond strength is achieved at room temperature in the first 20 minutes, 90% after about 24 hours and 100% after about 72 hours for acrylic adhesives. For the rubber based adhesives, 100% bond strength is obtained in about 24 hours. Heat (Press) Bonding: 3MTM ScotchmateTM Reclosable Fasteners SJ3526N, SJ3530, SJ3519FR and SJ3532N hook and SJ3527N, SJ3529, SJ3518FR, SJ3531 and SJ3533N loop can be attached to many fabric and foam articles with a technique called press bonding. The Scotchmate reclosable fastener is adhered to the article, as indicated above, and bond strength is increased by typically applying heat and pressure to the adhesive side of the Scotchmate reclosable fastener fastener through the fabric or foam article. Equipment can range from a simple household laundry iron to commercial press units. Product performance will depend on the nature of the fabric or foam and other conditions within any specific application. For this reason it is essential that the user evaluate the Scotchmate reclosable fastener product to determine if it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for the user's method of application. Typical press bonding conditions: Bonding Temperature: 250 to 425F (121 to 218C) Bonding Pressure: 30 to 100 psi (207 to 690 kPa) Bonding Time: 3 to 30 seconds Mechanical Attachment: The bond strength can be increased by mechanically attaching it to difficult to adhere to surfaces such as textured plastics and wood by using staples. Alternatively wood products can be sealed and pressure sensitive adhesive backed fastener applied as discussed above. Sewing 3MTM ScotchmateTM Plainbacked Reclosable Fasteners can be attached with manual or semi-automatic sewing machines, generally utilizing the same thread used in the garment or fabric. Six to ten stitches per inch (25.4 mm) is suggested. These products are washable and dry cleanable. Ultrasonic Bonding Scotchmate plainbacked reclosable fasteners can be bonded to themselves or other nylon fabrics with ultrasonic sealing equipment. This method can be used to provide straps and other fabricated forms. -5- 3M Scotchmate TM TM Nylon Reclosable Fasteners General Information 3MTM ScotchmateTM Pressure Sensitive Reclosable Fasteners can be bonded to a wide variety of materials. Some are listed below. Because product performance will depend on actual conditions within any specific application, it is essential that the user evaluate the Scotchmate product to determine if it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for the user's method of application.

When attaching to plasticized vinyl (flexible PVC), evaluation for plasticizer migration is recommended. Adhere the fastener to the vinyl and age for seven days at 158F (70C) and inspect for signs of migration of plasticizer oils indicated by softness or oozing of the adhesive. Choosing Polyester or Nylon Reclosable Fasteners 3MTM ScotchmateTM Reclosable Fasteners are available in polyester or nylon hook and loop configurations. There are performance and use differences that may be experienced when using these products. The following table lists the differences between the two types of fasteners to aid in selecting the best fastener material for the customers final product.
