The amazing discovery of Hook and Loop was first made in 1948 by a Swiss Engineer. During a walk in the country with his dog he noticed how difficult it was to detach the barbs (seeds) of the cocklebur plant from his clothing and his dog. The Swiss engineer also being an inventor took a closer look at this extraordinary plant. From this he observed that the seeds -sac was made up tiny hooks which attached themselves to clothing fibre, animal hair and human hair. Thus came about the invention of Hook and Loop, a simple but very effective fastening system now used throughout the world.

Adhesive backed Hook & Loop tapes are coated with an aggressive rubber-based adhesive, ideal for indoor use on smooth surfaces for most general purpose applications.
