Strength in Numbers
One little mushroom won’t accomplish much in this world, but pair him up with a few hundred of his friends and he becomes nearly unstoppable. Teamwork, that’s the idea behind the design on the 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener TB3550. When joined together, these unique, mushroom-shaped stems combine to interlock with one another, generating five times the closure strength of typical hook and loop fasteners while maintaining the ability to easily peel-apart for quick access.

3M Dual Lock TB3550 Reclosable Fastener contains approximately 250 mushroom-shaped head stems per square inch. When two pieces of Dual Lock are pressed together the stems flex and the mushroom heads slide past each other. After mating, the stem snaps back into its original position, interlocking with the opposing heads with an audible snap that signals the fastener is engaged. This system can be opened and closed 1,000 times while maintaining 50% of the original tensile strength.

No Drilling, Screwing, Tightening, or Complex Installation
3M Dual Lock TB3550 uses an acrylic adhesive that bonds well to a variety of high medium surface energy materials, including some plastics, metal, glass and painted surfaces. This ensures a quick and easy installation without the use of mechanical attachment processes. The adhesive sticks quickly and reaches full strength after 72 hours. Once bonded the interlocked, mushroom-shaped stems provide an attachment that holds as well as screws or rivets, yet separates easily for access.

Versatile, Durable and Invisible
There’s no limit to the number of uses for 3M Dual Lock fasteners. The stems, mushroom tops, and film backing are constructed of clear polypropylene, and the polyolefin backing resist common solvents and alkaline solutions, making them ideal for a variety of purposes and environments. The fastener is recommended for use at temperatures ranging from -20°F/-29°C to 200°F/93”C. Hidden from view when attached, these fasteners provide a clean, unbroken surface, and stay strong through more than 1,000 open-close cycles.

Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners are used extensively in transportation, electronics, business equipment, machinery, medical, and sign and display markets. They are ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications including: attaching signs, cushions, enclosure and access panels, banners, doors, adjustable shelving, vehicle ceiling panels, furniture seats and backs, and much more.

3M 5952 Heavy Duty Mounting VHB Tape is black, double-coated VHB adhesive tape with an acrylic foam core. A modified acrylic adhesive is on both sides of very conformable foam which provides adhesion to the broadest range of substrates/surfaces, including most powder coated paints. Comes on a red film release liner.

3M VHB Tape provides the convenience and simplicity of a tape fastener and are ideal for use in many interior and exterior bonding applications. In many situations, they can replace rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives and other permanent fasteners. Recommended to use 4 square inches of 5952 VHB tape for every 1 pound of load; although rough surfaces may require additional tape. These VHB tapes are made with acrylic foam which is viscoelastic in nature. This gives the foam energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties which provides these tapes with their unique characteristics. The acrylic chemistry provides outstanding durability performance and the tapes have excellent durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance.

From the Manufacturer

A clear acrylic adhesive on the back of a clear polypropylene reclosable fastener. 250 stems per square inch. 0.23 inch engaged thickness. Closure life 1,000.

For maximum bond strength, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical cleaning solvents are heptane or isopropyl alcohol. Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using cleaning solvents. This adhesive tape is NOT like normal adhesive tape that you can feel the adhesiveness when you use it. This tape need time and pressure to get into its adhesiveness. You have to press hard to one surface, than take out the red protective plastic and press the other surface part onto the Dark Grey part of the tape and leave that for 3 days to have the full bond strength. This is 3M product and we just sell whatever they have made. Customers are advise to search for more usage details from 3M web site.
