[Aplix, Inco] A self-gripping fastening system solde by Aplix for over 50 years. Aplix is a hook and loop system system in which one component has hooks and the other has loops. When pressed together, the Velcro® hooks firmly grasp the loops. The two components may be separated by pulling. Velcro® produces two types of hook systems: flexible and molded. The flexible woven hooks provide maximum cycle life while the molded hooks provide maximum fastening strength with limited cyclability. Velcro® fasteners work effectively in temperatures ranging from -56C (-70F) to 93C (200F). The fasteners may be attached to substrates by sewing, heat sealing or pressure sensitive adhesives. Factory applied pressure-sensitive adhesives can be [[acrylic_adhesive|acrylic]], [[rubber cement|rubber]], or [[polyurethane|polyurethane]] based materials.

Description

Aplix mushrooms

[Aplix, Inco] A self-gripping fastening system sold under the name Aplix since 1976. Aplix was originally based on the hook and loop system of the expired Velcro patent. They developed original variations, the first of which was composed of a very soft, unnapped loops. The products are now made on numerous woven and molded patterns composed of nylon, polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene. Inovations include miniaturization, double-sided hooks, mushrooms, and wave patterns. Each system is available with or without pressure-sensitive adhesive on the reverse.
