Detailed description
This is a woven hook and loop construction supplied to order. What follows is the part that decides whether the roll works on your line: the yarn, the width tolerance, the put-up and the paperwork that travels with the container.
What the buyer is choosing
Grade and backing are separate decisions. The same woven face is supplied plain for stitching, coated with acrylic for panels, or coated with rubber for rough and low-energy surfaces. Buying the face and the backing as one item is what produces the 'it stuck for a week then fell off' complaint.
The material question
The fibre is nylon (polyamide). It takes dye deeply, which is why the colour range is wide and why the colour holds through washing at 40 degrees. Its weakness is moisture regain: a nylon roll absorbs water in transit, measures wide on arrival and settles back over about a week, so allow for it in incoming inspection rather than rejecting the lot.
How it is quoted
Widths are slit from the master roll in one millimetre steps between 10 mm and 150 mm, held to plus or minus 0.5 mm. A width that is not on the list is a slitting instruction, not a new tool, so it does not add lead time once the master exists.
What ships with the goods
Peel and width are measured on the production lot, not on a sample kept from an earlier run. If your incoming inspection uses a different pull speed or dwell time, tell us and we will match it so the two numbers can be compared.
Checking it on arrival
On arrival, measure the width at the core and at the outside of the roll before you cut anything. A roll that measures wide at one end and nominal at the other was slit under uneven tension, and the whole lot will behave the same way on your line.
If the grade is still open, send the application and the cycle count and we will tell you which of the three constructions is the cheapest one that will survive it.
