VELCRO® Brand PS14 Black Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Tape

This genuine VELCRO® Brand fastening tape combines woven Hook and Loop components with a general-purpose PS14 rubber-resin adhesive backing. It provides a convenient reusable fastening for indoor signs, display panels, access covers, office equipment and household organisation without drilling, sewing or permanent mechanical fixings.

The range is available in 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 50mm and 100mm widths. Choose 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m or 25m lengths to suit small repairs, repeated installations or full-roll requirements.

Choose the required fastening option

Hook only: The firmer fastening component for use with an existing compatible Loop surface.
Loop only: The softer mating component for use with an existing compatible Hook surface.
Hook and Loop set: Contains equal selected lengths of both matching components. A 1m set contains 1m of Hook and 1m of Loop; a 25m set contains 25m of Hook and 25m of Loop.

Typical applications include:

Exhibition stands and display panels
Signs and point-of-sale materials
Noticeboards and office organisation
Removable access panels and equipment covers
Home storage and general indoor mounting
Craft displays and presentation boards

Surface preparation and application

Apply only to a clean, dry and stable surface. Remove grease, dust, polish, moisture and loose material before installation. Porous wood or board may require a suitable primer or sealer before the tape is fitted.

Cut the tape to the required length and round the corners where practical. Remove the release liner without touching the exposed adhesive, position the tape carefully and press firmly across the complete bonded area to remove trapped air.

Allow approximately 24 hours for the adhesive bond to develop before repeatedly opening the fastener or applying substantial load. PS14 is intended primarily for indoor use at room temperature.

Do not use PS14 on PVC or flexible vinyl. Polyethylene, polypropylene, cardboard and coated surfaces can produce variable results and should be tested before full installation. For fabric projects, choose VELCRO® Brand sew-on tape; for suitable PVC and vinyl, select PS18 tape.

Do not use underwater, for personal restraint, overhead safety support or in applications where fastening failure could cause injury or serious damage.
