Need to deliver on aesthetics, long-term usability, and increased sustainability? The VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fasteners have got you covered.
The VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® reclosable fastener is a self-engaging, single-component “snap” closure. This fastener is ideal for replacing mechanical fasteners in indoor and outdoor applications that require a reliable, durable, and high-performance connection. Think about places that see repetitive use - and that need to stand up to vibration, temperature fluctuation, or high demands. The VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fastener enables installers to deliver on these market demands while also reducing labor and scrap.
As one example, let's look at mass transit and automotive interiors. We'll see, through exploring this use case, how these fasteners benefit a variety of applications. Car, bus and train designers, manufacturers, and maintainers need to be deliberate on what materials are used in their mass transit and automotive interiors. This encompasses headliners and paneling that hold important components together and provide protection for vital electrical and mechanical systems in the vehicle. Installers need to use materials that hold all of those components together that are sure to need to hold up to repetitive, long-term use.
The VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fastener is a smart solution to secure paneling and headliners in vehicle interiors - and many other applications, like the installation of outdoor accessories (such as security cameras), LED lighting, digital signage, and more. This hook-to-hook fastener includes mushroom-shaped components that audibly snap into place, confirming when both pieces are fully secure. There is no need to drill and align holes, which eases labor and installation time.
Using this innovative fastener also reduces costs and waste. As opposed to traditional hardware, this fastener is easy to remove and re-align, which reduces damage to valuable materials and prevents scrap from building up. Drilling holes into materials to fasten screws and nails can cause materials to be vulnerable to corrosion, but this possibility can be avoided.
By using VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fasteners, you can enhance aesthetics and style by eliminating screwheads, improving durability and reducing noise and vibration. Reach out to your local Accu-Tech representative to learn more, or visit the VELCRO® Brand page on our website.
