Velcro Tape (Hoop Loop Tape)
Velcro Tape (Hoop Loop Tape)
Hook and loop tape (commonly called velcro tape) is a two-part fastening tape with an adhesive backing, used for reusable, screw-free mounting and fastening in industrial, electronics and general applications.
- Two-part hook and loop fastening system with adhesive backing on both strips
- Reusable — can be joined and separated repeatedly without losing function
- Screw-free, tool-free mounting and fastening
- Suitable for industrial, electronics and general fastening applications
Description
Product Overview
Hook and loop tape consists of two complementary strips — one covered in tiny hooks, the other in soft loops — that grip together when pressed and separate cleanly when pulled apart. Each strip is backed with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, so both sides can be mounted to different surfaces and then joined and separated repeatedly. This makes it a common choice wherever a reusable fastening or mounting solution is preferred over a permanent adhesive bond or mechanical fasteners.
Adhesive Specialities supplies adhesive-backed hook and loop tape for industrial fastening applications.
Key Features
- Two-part hook and loop fastening system with adhesive backing on both strips
- Reusable — can be joined and separated repeatedly without losing function
- Screw-free, tool-free mounting and fastening
- Suitable for industrial, electronics and general fastening applications
Applications and Industries
- Renewable Energy — securing cabling and panel components where reusable access is needed
- Electronics — mounting panels, covers and components for easy access/removal
- Construction — temporary or reusable fastening during installation
- General industrial use — wherever repeated attach/detach cycles are needed
Velcro Tape vs Double-Sided Tape
Hook and loop tape is the better choice when a mount needs to be opened and closed repeatedly — for maintenance access, seasonal changes, or component swaps — because it can be separated and rejoined without losing strength. Double-sided tape is the better choice for a permanent bond where the mount will not be removed, since it typically achieves a stronger, more space-efficient permanent hold than a hook and loop system of the same size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hook and loop tape used for?
Hook and loop tape (velcro tape) is used for reusable, screw-free fastening and mounting in industrial, electronics and general applications, wherever repeated attaching and detaching is needed.
Is velcro tape reusable?
Yes. The hook and loop strips can be joined and separated repeatedly without losing their grip, which is the main advantage over a permanent adhesive bond.
What is the difference between hook and loop tape and double-sided tape?
Hook and loop tape allows repeated attaching and detaching, while double-sided tape creates a permanent bond intended to stay joined. Choose hook and loop tape when reusability matters more than maximum permanent strength.
