Peel testers assess adhesive strength where applicable, thickness gauges check material uniformity, and tape holding power tests validate long-term durability. Environmental chambers simulate temperature and humidity extremes to ensure products perform reliably under varying conditions.
Continuous in-process quality control (IPQC) ensures early detection and correction of any deviations. Training inspection zones maintain operator expertise in defect identification and measurement accuracy, ensuring consistent product quality.
Our Inspection Team
Our dedicated inspection team works entirely within the Class 1000 cleanroom, performing final quality checks on all Hook and Loop products prior to shipment. Their rigorous inspections guarantee all products meet customer specifications for precision, durability, and cleanliness.
Our Mold Management
Our mold workshop supports Hook and Loop manufacturing through custom mold design, fabrication, and maintenance using CAD software, CNC machining, and laser cutting technologies. Regular maintenance keeps molds in excellent condition, ensuring consistent die-cut precision and rapid turnaround for complex designs.
Our Product Cases
One example is our dust-proof mesh and gasket rings used in smartphones, earphones, and tablets. These parts keep dust out of speaker and microphone openings without affecting sound quality. Made in a cleanroom environment from breathable mesh or precisely cut gaskets, they maintain very tight dimensional tolerances and undergo strict breathability testing. This helps improve device durability and keeps audio clear and consistent.
Another case is our camera foam gaskets designed for smartphone camera modules. These foam seals block dust and prevent light leaks that can affect photo quality. We use automated lamination to ensure perfect adhesion and advanced die-cutting to produce complex shapes accurately. Adhesion strength is tested carefully, which helps reduce defects and improves camera performance overall.
The third case covers PET and PC sheets with protective films. These are used for screen protectors, insulation, scratch resistance, or as substrates for flexible circuits. We ensure precise dimensions with advanced measuring tools and check surfaces with high-resolution microscopes. The materials also undergo durability testing to make sure they hold up well in different environments, supporting a variety of applications.

We prioritise precise material testing to ensure reliable performance. The adhesion strength of hook and loop fasteners is typically measured through peel strength, shear strength, and tensile strength tests. These methods evaluate how well the fastener holds under various forces.
Peel Strength Test
Peel strength measures the force needed to separate the fastener at a specific angle, often 90° or 180°.
- Stick the hook and loop surfaces together, ensuring no air bubbles.
- Attach them to a testing machine with one surface connected to the top clamp and the other to the bottom.
- Set the pulling speed (e.g., 300mm/min).
- Record the force needed to peel them apart.
Higher peel strength means stronger adhesion. Results are expressed in Newton (N) or pound-force (lb).
Shear Strength Test
Shear strength tests the force required to slide the hook and loop apart in the plane of the adhesive.
- Stick the hook and loop together with aligned surfaces.
- Secure the fastener in the testing device, ensuring the force is parallel to the bonded area.
- Set a slower speed (e.g., 1mm/min) and apply force until they separate.
The stronger the shear strength, the better the hold under parallel stress.
Tensile Strength Test
Tensile strength measures the force needed to pull the hook and loop apart directly, perpendicular to the adhesive area.
- Stick the two surfaces together firmly.
- Mount them vertically in the machine, with the bonded area positioned flat.
- Apply force at 300mm/min until separation occurs.
The test shows how well the fastener holds under a pulling force.
Important Notes
- Always clean the surfaces of the fastener to avoid interference from dust or oil.
- Ensure consistent bonded areas to get comparable results.
- Perform tests in standard lab conditions (e.g., 23°C and 50% humidity) for reliable data.
- Multiple tests and averaging improve accuracy.
