High-temperature environments and hook and loopThere are numerous examples in industrial manufacturing when a heavy-duty solution alone just isn’t enough. As well as the strength and security that heavy-duty hook and loop can provide, there is often also a need for a solution that can withstand fire and high temperatures.
