Fasteners. Setex™ CF
Setex™ CF Conformable Fastener is a low profile, low-weight, two-sided fastening system, that can be hermetically sealed—ideal for apparel, hermetic closures, upholstery, automotive seats, and packaging.
Unique, low profile, flexible fastener
nanoGriptech’s Setex™ provides a unique fastener solution for leading product designers who are frustrated with the limitations of hook and loop and mushroom connectors. Currently available as a custom solution, Setex™-based fasteners join a dry adhesive tape or sheet to a smooth mating surface.
Attributes and Benefits include:
Conformal: Setex™-cF can conform to a wide range of shapes, including tough to manage concave forms.
Low Profile: Setex™-cF is film-thin, enabling new designs, creating precise fits, and removing precious weight and space required by other fasteners.
Customizable: Setex™-cF can be designed with varying shear and peel strengths to fit your application’s needs.
Residue-Free: Setex™-cF is completely dry, providing a strong, repeatable fastening solution without lint-attracting hooks (or mushrooms) or debris from broken hooks, loops, or mushrooms.
Silent: Setex™-cF fasteners go unnoticed, operating without the ripping and zipping sounds that can alert your prey and scare them away.
Hermetic: Setex™-cF provides a hermetic seal unlike zippers, hook and loop, or mushroom fasteners, blocking water and other liquids from ruining your stuff.
The Science
Setex™ Conformal Fastener (CF) is a unique, conformable bonding system. It is a two-part closure system, consisting of a mating surface component and a dry adhesive microfiber component. Setex™ CF is created on a thermoplastic polyurethane TPU film. The TPU can be bonded to a wide variety of substrates including textiles, plastics, natural products (paper, leather), and metals and is resistant against home washing and dry cleaning.
