Which Adhesive Should I Use For My Hook And Loop?

We offer two types of adhesive backing for all of our peel and stick hook and loop products. There's a rubber based adhesive and an acrylic based adhesive. These are pressure sensitive adhesives, or PSAs, meaning that you simply have to apply pressure to the adhesive to stick it to the substrate (the material the adhesive is being stuck to).

We offer tons of products in various sizes and colors and compiling a catalog just doesn't make sense for us.
