Aircraft & Aviation Applications

How Hook & Loop Fasteners Work

Hook-and-loop fastening uses two complementary surfaces. One side contains small hooks and the mating side contains loops. Pressing the two surfaces together creates the attachment; pulling them apart separates the fastener.

The ability to repeatedly open and close the fastener makes hook-and-loop material useful for components that need to be accessed or removed without replacing the fastening material each time.

Cut-to-Length Roll Format

A roll allows the hook-and-loop material to be cut to the length required for the installation. This can be useful when fastening multiple components with different dimensions or when custom-length pieces are needed during aircraft interior and shop maintenance work.

Measure the required attachment area before cutting the material. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for the specific hook and loop product, including any requirements for attachment, substrate preparation or mating surfaces.

Important Aircraft Maintenance Considerations

For aircraft installations, verify that the specific hook-and-loop product is suitable for the intended application and substrate. Consider temperature, vibration, moisture, cleaning chemicals, required holding strength and frequency of removal.

Always follow the applicable aircraft maintenance manual, engineering instructions, component documentation or other approved technical data when installing fastening materials on an aircraft.
