    <title>ALFA-LOK® from Digital Isle Limited</title>
    <link>http://www.digitalisle.co.uk/rss/1/productlistings/alfa-lok/cat113</link>
    <description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Genuine VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fastener Tape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® is a strong, reclosable fastening system designed for mounting panels, signs, displays, equipment and other suitable components. Instead of a conventional hook side and soft loop side, ALFA-LOK® uses identical mushroom-shaped fastening faces that engage with each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Pressing two pieces firmly together interlocks the mushroom-shaped elements and produces a noticeable snap. The non-directional construction means that the pieces do not have to be aligned in one particular orientation before engagement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The tape is 25 mm wide and is supplied with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive backing. The range includes PS-5310, PS-5345 and PS-6411 versions for different surface types. Selecting the correct adhesive is essential: the strongest-looking tape will still perform poorly if its adhesive is unsuitable for the substrate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;High surface energy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Glass, metals and suitable treated plastics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;A strong bond is required on clean, stable high-surface-energy materials&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS-5345&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;A versatile adhesive is required for common high- and medium-surface-energy materials&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS-6411&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Low surface energy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Bonding to more difficult plastics or coatings, including suitable polyethylene and polypropylene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;This comparison is a selection guide rather than a guarantee of adhesion. Surface coatings, plastic formulations, contamination, texture, flexibility, temperature and load direction can all affect the final bond. Test the complete fastener on the actual production surface before committing to a large installation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;ALFA-LOK® PS-5310 – High-Surface-Energy Adhesive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/diy-fixings-c32/velcro-brand-products-c56/velcro-brand-alfa-lok-ps-5310-self-engaging-fastener-tape-black-25mm-high-surface-energy-adhesive-1m-2m-5m-25m-p3160&quot;&gt;VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® PS-5310&lt;/a&gt; is intended primarily for high-surface-energy materials such as glass, metal and compatible treated plastics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The acrylic adhesive layer is transparent, but the ALFA-LOK® fastening material itself is black. It should therefore not be described as completely transparent or invisible once installed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;ALFA-LOK® PS-5345 – General-Purpose Adhesive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/diy-fixings-c32/velcro-brand-products-c56/velcro-brand-alfa-lok-ps-5345-self-engaging-fastener-tape-black-25mm-general-purpose-acrylic-adhesive-1m-2m-5m-25m-p3469&quot;&gt;VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® PS-5345&lt;/a&gt; is the general-purpose option for high- and medium-surface-energy materials. Typical examples include glass, metals and several compatible rigid plastics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Choose PS-5345 when the substrate does not require the specialist low-surface-energy adhesive used on PS-6411. &amp;ldquo;General purpose&amp;rdquo; does not mean universal, so the precise plastic, coating and operating environment must still be checked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;ALFA-LOK® PS-6411 – Low-Surface-Energy Adhesive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/diy-fixings-c32/velcro-brand-products-c56/velcro-brand-alfa-lok-ps-6411-self-engaging-fastener-tape-black-25mm-low-surface-energy-acrylic-adhesive-1m-2m-5m-25m-p3159&quot;&gt;VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® PS-6411&lt;/a&gt; uses a very-high-tack adhesive developed for a broader range of high-, medium- and low-surface-energy materials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;This is normally the most appropriate version to test on difficult plastics such as suitable polyethylene and polypropylene, as well as compatible powder coatings, ceramics, metals and glass. Low surface energy is only one factor: contamination, mould-release agents, texture and movement can still prevent a reliable bond.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;What Does Surface Energy Mean?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Surface energy affects how readily an adhesive spreads across and bonds to a material. Glass and clean metal commonly have relatively high surface energy. Plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene typically have lower surface energy and can be more difficult to bond.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The visible material name is not always enough to choose the adhesive. Painted, laminated, anodised, powder-coated or chemically treated surfaces may behave differently from the untreated base material. Where the precise finish is unknown, obtain a sample and perform an application test.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;How Much Tape Is Required?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;ALFA-LOK® is sold as a single self-engaging component. A mounting installation normally requires one piece on each of the two mating surfaces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;This means that one metre of tape creates a maximum of approximately 500 mm of continuously mated fastening when divided into two equal lengths. Several shorter matched sections can also be used where appropriate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1 m purchased:&lt;/strong&gt; up to approximately 500 mm of matched fastening&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 m purchased:&lt;/strong&gt; up to approximately 1 m of matched fastening&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5 m purchased:&lt;/strong&gt; up to approximately 2.5 m of matched fastening&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;25 m purchased:&lt;/strong&gt; up to approximately 12.5 m of matched fastening&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;These figures assume equal lengths are fitted to both surfaces. Allow extra tape for cutting, testing and installation tolerances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Common ALFA-LOK® Applications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Removable decorative and access panels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Point-of-sale signs and retail displays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Exhibition stands and temporary display structures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;LED panels and compatible lighting equipment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Interior vehicle and transport components&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Equipment covers and inspection panels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Accessories fitted to aluminium profiles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Suitable cameras, sensors and electronic devices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Marine, campervan and workshop accessories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Industrial assembly and maintenance applications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;These are application examples rather than universal approvals. The selected adhesive, fastening area, surface preparation, load, vibration, temperature and environment must be suitable for the complete installation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;How to Apply ALFA-LOK® Fastener Tape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Identify both mounting surfaces and choose the correct PS adhesive version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Test the product on the actual materials before completing the full installation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Ensure that the surfaces are stable, clean, dry and free from dust, grease, silicone, oil and loose material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Cut two matching pieces of ALFA-LOK® tape to the required length.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Remove the release liner without unnecessarily touching the exposed adhesive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Position each piece carefully and apply firm, even pressure across the complete adhesive area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Allow the adhesive to develop its bond for the period specified for the selected PS version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Align the two mushroom-shaped faces and press them together firmly until they engage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Test the installation gradually before placing it under its normal working load.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Pressure-sensitive adhesive requires close contact with the substrate. Applying tape lightly or only pressing the edges can leave air gaps and substantially reduce the available bonding area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Opening and Refastening ALFA-LOK®&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;To disengage the fastener, begin at one edge and progressively separate the two ALFA-LOK® faces. Do not pull the complete mounted component directly away from the surface, as this places unnecessary stress on the adhesive bond.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The fastening faces can be opened and re-engaged, but the product is intended for relatively secure, semi-permanent mounting rather than constant rapid opening. Confirm that its cycling performance suits the intended application.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Once the adhesive-backed tape has been removed from a substrate, it should not automatically be treated as repositionable. Removal can contaminate, stretch or damage the adhesive and may also mark the underlying surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Temperature, Moisture and Outdoor Installation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;ALFA-LOK® systems are used for both indoor and outdoor applications, but outdoor suitability must be assessed for the exact adhesive, substrate and exposure. Moisture resistance does not mean that the product is suitable for continuous immersion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The polypropylene mushroom elements are not intended for unrestricted direct ultraviolet exposure without application testing. Do not describe every ALFA-LOK® installation as permanently UV-proof or weatherproof merely because one adhesive component has outdoor resistance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Application temperature and operating temperature are also different. A product may tolerate a wider temperature range after bonding than it can during initial installation. Follow the technical information for the selected PS-5310, PS-5345 or PS-6411 version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Important Safety Information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Do not calculate a safe weight rating by converting laboratory tensile or shear figures directly into kilograms. Published test values describe controlled material performance and are not a universal working load for a finished installation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Do not use ALFA-LOK® as the sole fixing for lifting, fall protection, climbing, vehicle load restraint or any installation where unexpected release could cause injury or serious damage. Valuable, fragile or overhead objects may require an independent mechanical safety fixing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Heavy duty&amp;rdquo; does not mean that the product can replace screws, bolts or other structural fixings in every application. The adhesive bond, fastener engagement, mounted component and supporting surface must all be suitable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;ALFA-LOK®, Hook and Loop Tape or ONE-WRAP®?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose ALFA-LOK®&lt;/strong&gt; for strong, self-engaging mushroom-head mounting between two compatible solid surfaces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose self-adhesive hook and loop tape&lt;/strong&gt; when a conventional hook-and-loop closure with a softer loop component is preferred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose ONE-WRAP® tape or cable ties&lt;/strong&gt; for wrapping around cables and bundles without bonding adhesive to a surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose a mechanical fixing&lt;/strong&gt; for structural, safety-critical or permanently load-bearing installations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Frequently Asked Questions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Does ALFA-LOK® have separate hook and loop sides?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;No. It uses identical mushroom-shaped fastening faces that engage with each other. Two pieces of the same ALFA-LOK® tape are fitted to the mating surfaces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Will one metre create one metre of fastening?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Not when both mounting surfaces need to be fitted. One metre of tape can be divided into two 500 mm pieces, producing approximately 500 mm of continuously matched fastening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Which ALFA-LOK® adhesive should I choose?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Use PS-5310 for suitable high-surface-energy materials, PS-5345 as the general-purpose high- and medium-surface-energy option, and PS-6411 when a low-surface-energy adhesive is required. Always test the actual surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Which version is suitable for polyethylene or polypropylene?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;PS-6411 is the version intended for low-surface-energy materials and is normally the correct option to test on suitable polyethylene and polypropylene surfaces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Can ALFA-LOK® tape be cut?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Yes. It can be cut into matched strips or smaller fastening points. Use suitable cutting equipment and allow for two equal mating pieces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Is the fastening tape transparent?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;No. The PS-5310 adhesive layer is transparent, but the ALFA-LOK® mushroom-head fastening material sold in this range is black.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Can ALFA-LOK® be used outdoors?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;It is used in outdoor applications, but suitability depends on the selected adhesive, substrate, direct UV exposure, moisture, temperature and installation design. Test the complete application before use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;How much weight will ALFA-LOK® hold?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;There is no safe department-wide weight rating. Capacity depends on the tape area, adhesive version, substrate, load direction, preparation, temperature, vibration and installation geometry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Can the adhesive tape be repositioned?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The mushroom-head closure can be opened and re-engaged, but the pressure-sensitive adhesive is not automatically reusable after being removed from its mounting surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;How long should I wait before loading the installation?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Follow the instructions for the exact PS adhesive. Initial tack is not the same as the fully developed adhesive bond, so the installation should not be loaded immediately unless the applicable specification allows it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
