In the demanding world of watersports, performance and safety go hand in hand. Leading manufacturers of kayaks, drysuits and other technical watersports gear trust HALCO to provide fastening solutions that can withstand the harshest conditions - from saltwater and UV exposure to repeated immersion and rugged use.

Our HALCO PRO WELD Weldable Film Hook & Loop has become a preferred choice for leading watersports brands who need durable, flexible closures that perform reliably where it matters most.

Our customers in this sector manufacture high-performance kayaks and drysuits used by recreational paddlers, rescue teams and professional adventurers alike. For drysuits, a secure yet easy-to-use closure is critical for comfort, waterproof integrity and quick donning and taking off. For kayaks and associated gear, such as adjustable seat straps, spray skirts, deck hatches and accessory mounts, dependable fastening keeps everything in place while allowing effortless adjustments on the water.

Why HALCO PRO WELD Stands Out

• Weldable & Waterproof
  HALCO PRO WELD features a specially formulated weldable backing film, allowing it to be heat-sealed directly onto technical fabrics and polymer surfaces. This creates a permanent bond without stitching, maintaining the garment or kayak’s waterproof integrity and eliminating weak points that could lead to leaks.
• Durability in Tough Conditions
  HALCO’s PRO WELD range can withstand exposure to moisture, salt, abrasion and temperature fluctuations. It retains high cycle life and consistent peel strength, ensuring repeated use in harsh marine environments does not compromise fastening performance.
• Lightweight & Flexible
  Watersports gear must balance ruggedness with wearer comfort and freedom of movement. HALCO’s hook and loop solution is flexible, adding minimal bulk while offering secure closure strength, ideal for neoprene, breathable laminates and lightweight composite panels.
• Easy Adjustability
  One of the greatest advantages of hook and loop fastening is its ease of use, even with cold or gloved hands. End users can make quick adjustments to suit changing conditions on the water, enhancing safety and comfort without fiddly buckles or rigid clips.
