When it comes to fastening solutions, hook and loop is widely known for its versatility and ease of use. However, in industries where durability, strength, and specialised applications are required, weldable hook & loop offers a unique solution. HALCO Europe provides two high-performance options: HALCO PLUS WELD Weldable Hook & Loop and HALCO PRO WELD Weldable Film Hook & Loop. But what makes these products different, and how can they benefit your business? Let’s take a closer look.

What is Weldable Hook & Loop?

Unlike traditional hook and loop fasteners that rely on sewing or adhesive backing, weldable hook & loop is designed to bond seamlessly with surfaces using high frequency, heat or solvent welding techniques. This ensures a strong, durable attachment without the need for stitching or additional adhesives.

HALCO PLUS WELD: Weldable Hook & Loop

HALCO PLUS WELD features a weldable backing that can be activated by high frequency welding machines, hot air machines, ultrasonic welding machines, acetone or M.E.K solvent. It's a great choice for applications such as:

Technical textiles – Used in automotive interiors, medical fabrics, and protective clothing.

Tarpaulins & covers – Ensuring a secure, weather-resistant fastening.

Industrial applications – Ideal for high-strength, long-lasting use.

HALCO PRO WELD: Weldable Film Hook & Loop

HALCO PRO WELD, on the other hand, features a weldable thermoplastic film backing, which is designed for direct heat sealing onto a variety of materials. This makes it the go-to option for:

Inflatable products – Such as air-tight medical devices, sports equipment, and outdoor gear.

Plastic and vinyl surfaces – Ensuring a seamless bond without adhesives.

Waterproof applications – Providing a secure hold in wet environments.
