3m ? hook and loop fasteners trial bags attachment techniques the following information is intended to assist the designer considering the use of adhesive-coated 3m? hook and loop fasteners. system product performance depends upon a number of factor s, including the fastener (material, adhesive and area), application method, surface characteristics (material, texture and cleanliness), environmental conditions (moisture, ultraviolet and temperature exposure) plus the time it is expected to support a given load. because many of these factors are uniquely within the user?s knowledge and control, it is required that the user evaluate 3m products to determine whether they are fit for a particular purpose and suitable for the user?s substrates, method of application and desired end use. design considerations as a general rule, four square inches of fastener adhesive area per pound (57.3 square centimeters per kilogram) 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. rounding the corners, slightly recessing the product into the substrate or providing raised edges around the reclosable fastener can reduce the possibility of edge lifting and improve the overall appearance of the fastener on the finished product. mechanically securing the corners of the fast ener with rivets, staples, screws, etc. may also reduce the possibility of edge lifting, but may reduce the closure performance. the two most common techniques for attaching these 3m? hook and loop? fasteners to various surfaces are summarized below. 1) pressure sensitive adhesive attachment: the use of pressure sensitive adhesives eliminates or reduces the need fo r sewing, solvent activation, dielectric or ultrasonic bonding or bulk adhesive bonding. this can result in simplicity, improved safety and lower installation cost s. pressure sensitive adhesive products can be applied manually or automatically using a variety of equipment choices. contact your 3m sales representative to discuss automated equipment options. - 6 -
3m ? hook and loop fasteners trial bags surface preparation highly textured surfaces may reduce the ultimate adhesion levels and care should be given to minimize the surface texture or roughness. adhesive backed 3m? hook and loop fasteners should be applied to surf aces that are clean, dry and free of oil, grease, dust, mold release agents or su rface contaminants that could reduce the adhesion. it is recommended to remove any surface contaminants that may reduce adhesion by using a method suited for the type and quantity of surface contaminants present. note: it is important for the customer to follow all manufacturer?s precautions and directions for use as well as any specifi c government regulations or customer and supplier requirements for the method(s) used to remove any contamination on the surface of the substrate or preparing th e surface for attaching the fastener(s). in exceptional cases, especial ly when removing silicone mold release agents or on rough, porous surfaces, it may be necessary to lightly abrade the surface, use an adhesion promoter, or surface sealer to op timize the adhesive bond to the substrate. the selection of abrasion, priming or sealin g methods will depend upon the substrates and the environmental conditions the product will be exposed to during use. attachment techniques to obtain an optimum bond to any surface, both the fasteners and the target surfaces should have equilibrated for a minimum of 1 hour at temperatures between 68f (20c) to 100f (38c) before applicati on. the liner protecting the adhesive is removed and preferably without touching the adhesive, the fastener is applied to the substrate. exposure of the adhesive to ambient conditions without the protective liner, before applying to the surface, shoul d be minimized as initial adhesive tack may decrease. flexible materials should be lying on a hard flat surface so as to permit uniform adhesive contact with the su rface. use of a rubber hand roller, press platen or similar device is recommended to ensure full adhesive contact or wet-out with the substrate surface. approximately 4.5 pounds of force per square inch, (310 grams per square centimeter) is recommended to increase adhesive contact, improving bond strength. for all adhesive appli cations, it is important to ensure that the edges are rolled down to reduce the chance of edge lifting. storage store in original packaging between 60 to 80f (16 to 27c) and 40 to 60% relative humidity. - 7 -
