Removable fastening systems with 3M Dual Lock
The 3M Dual Lock System is an excellent alternative to conventional fastening methods, such as screwing, gluing, riveting, etc. Its high load-bearing capacity and ease of use make it a universal fastening solution for all applications that require high flexibility and an invisible fastening. Dual Lock snap fasteners consist of a polyolefin backing with small mushroom heads on short stems. Pressing the two components together creates a stable, releasable fastener. Unlike conventional fastening systems such as screws or rivets, no holes are required that would compromise the visual appearance of the surface. The acrylate adhesive with high temperature resistance is suitable for various substrates, e.g., high- and low-energy plastics, metals, and powder coatings.
