Moving Velcro to the next level, Binder Fastener Systems is trying to encourage design engineers to consider using its Duotec System to replace the traditional fastener.The Duotec system uses a grid of mushroom shaped studs that snap together; essentially like a press stud, except there are between 40 and 168 mushrooms per square cm. It can be quickly applied to the surfaces that need to be joined by a specific high strength adhesive backing, then the two surfaces can be joined. It provides a peel strength of up to 35N/cm2 and because any force going in to the tape is uniformly distributed, it mean single point load failures due to fatigue are rare.
