About MAGICTAPE™

How they stick together?

Do you know why the two tapes can easily stick by touching and can open by peeling?
If you watch carefully the surface of MAGICTAPE™ or FREEMAGIC™, you may notice the surface of the fastening tape has 2 differently shaped napped fibers of hook and loop shape.
The interlocking of the hook and loop causes the closure.
The fastener types are defined by the shapes or line of hooks and loops. These 2 types of shapes must be used to perform fastening.
