3 Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners SJ3560 (Type 250)* SJ3561 (Type 400) SJ3562 (Type 170) Technical Data Product Description December, 2002 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners offer advanced closure alternatives to zippers, screws, snaps, hooks, bolts and more. They offer greater design flexibility, faster product assembly, smoother and cleaner exterior surfaces and improved product performance in many applications. The fasteners consist of continuous polyolefin strips with polyolefin stems having a mushroom shaped top. The mushroom heads allow the fasteners to easily slide over each other allowing positioning of parts before they are snapped together creating a firm fastening attachment. Simply peel the pieces apart by hand to disengage. The clear acrylic adhesive combined with the clear backing allows for the substrate color to show through the fastener. The acrylic adhesive is well suited for applications exposed to high temperatures, humidity or for high surface energy materials. This product construction is especially suited for outdoor applications, where elevated temperatures are experienced or the potential for direct exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light may occur. Suggested combinations of mated fasteners are Type 170 to Type 250, Type 170 to Type 400, Type 250 to Type 250, Type 250 to Type 400, or for a quick grab attachment with high strength but limited cycle life any of the Dual Lock products can be mated with 3M™ Scotchmate™ Loop Reclosable Fasteners. See the technical bulletin on attachments (70-0709-3929-6). *Type 170 (approximately 170 stems per square inch) Type 250 (approximately 250 stems per square inch) Type 400 (approximately 400 stems per square inch) Product Construction Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.
