What is hook-and-loop tape?<\/strong> Hook-and-loop tape (often called Velcro) consists of two strips that lock together when pressed and can be opened and closed thousands of times. One side has small plastic hooks<\/strong>, the other soft loops<\/strong>. Self-adhesive versions stick to boxes, catalogues, panels and objects in seconds; sew-on versions replace buttons and zips in textiles.<\/div>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

Hundreds of tiny hooks catch in the loop fabric. Pulling the strips apart releases them, so the tape can be reused thousands of times. Swiss engineer George de Mestral<\/strong> developed the idea in 1941 after burdock burrs stuck to his clothes and patented it in 1955. \u201cVelcro\u201d \u2013 from French velours<\/em> and crochet<\/em> \u2013 is a brand name.<\/p>\n
