Hook and Loop Velcro

Product Description

Hook-and-loop fasteners, commonly known as Velcro, consist of two components: one side covered in tiny hooks and the other in soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks latch onto the loops, creating a temporary but secure bond that can be easily separated by pulling the surfaces apart. Originally invented in 1941 by Swiss engineer George de Mestral, the design was inspired by burdock burrs that clung to his dog's fur. Since then, Velcro has been widely used in clothing, footwear, medical devices, aerospace technology, and industrial applications due to its reusable, adjustable, and durable nature. It comes in various strengths, from lightweight fabric fasteners to heavy-duty versions for specialized uses. Its convenience and reliability make it a preferred fastening solution in many industries.
