ASK A 3M EXPERT June, 2014 3M™ Dual Lock™ Low Pro le Reclosable Fastener SJ4570 Product Description 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners are positive locking, hidden fasteners designed for use in a variety of attachment solutions. They consist of continuous strips of polyole n stems with a mushroom shaped top protruding up from the backing. When snapped together the mushroom shaped caps interlock producing a strong reliable Fastener. 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fastener SJ4570 Low Pro le is designed for indoor use and low to medium temperature performance. This product o ers temperature resistance up to 158°F and can be used with metals such as aluminum and stainless steel; as well as glass, many plastics (polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, ABS) powder coated paints and medium to low surface energy materials. The Dual Lock Low Pro le has one stem density of approximately 705 stems per square inch and they interlock to themselves. The low pro le products are not intended to mate to the standard size Dual Lock. There are a variety of pressure sensitive adhesives available with Dual Lock to cover most application needs. The pressure sensitive adhesive makes the Dual Lock easy to use, simply remove the liner, place the Dual Lock and apply rm consistent pressure to assure good contact with the substrate you are adhering. We also o er non-adhesive backed Dual Lock for applications where the PSA does not meet your needs. Product Features • Clear, low pro le, polyole n fastener is half the thickness of standard 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners and is self-mating • Interlocking mushroom-shaped heads provide strong, reliable and durable fastening that can be opened and closed multiple times • Low surface energy acrylic adhesive bonds well to a variety of substrates including metals, powder-coated paints and a broad range of plastics • Strong fastener secures with an audible snap, verifying closure • An alternative to screws and bolts, this hidden fastener provides a snug t and smooth aesthetic appearance • Features good temperature resistance of 158°F (70°C) • Best suited for indoor use 3M™ Dual Lock™ Low Pro le Reclosable Fastener SJ4570 General Information This product is half the thickness of standard 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners, providing a low pro le attachment. An alternative to screws and bolts, this hidden fastener provides a snug t and smooth aesthetic appearance.

More or less area may be needed depending on speci c conditions or end use applications. • Whenever possible design one side of the Dual Lock reclosable fasteners to be larger than the mating side. This will allow for variability or mismatch in Dual lock alignment positions, and ensure 100% fastening area contact. Another approach would be to design two rectangular shaped fastener pieces so that they can be engaged in a cross web/perpendicular pattern (crossed). • Dual Lock disengagement strength/performance is strongest in direct tensile. Peel/cleavage mode is where it is most easily removed. • Final product performance depends upon a combination of factors: the substrate and its surface characteristics, the fastener selected, the application method and conditions, the time and environmental conditions required for the application. Because these factors are unique to each application, the user must evaluate Dual Lock and do any testing required to determine Dual Lock’s suitability for the user’s desired end use.
