NRX® Loop Heat Tape
This quality has loop function on the top surface with the heat activated glue on the backside. It can be used to extend loop function to areas that difficult to stitch or to laminate with thermoplastic under on the NRX Strap for additional reinforcement and stability.
The recommended temperature for activation of the adhesive is 120–140 degrees Celsius and the setting time about 10 seconds. That might have to be adjusted depending on the surface of the material and the composition. Always test the bonding before on a small piece.
Cut the two materials that you want to bond together and place them side by side. Place the materials on a protective silicone baking sheet or a Teflon paper.
Cut the NRX® Loop Heat Tape in the desired length. We recommend that you cut it slightly longer than the surface as it might shrink during the heating. Cover the strap and material with another silicone baking sheet or Teflon paper. Use an iron or a heat press, set on 120–140 degrees Celsius. If you use an iron, disengage the steam function. Apply heat to the surface and wait for 10 seconds. Then check the result. If it has not bonded properly, simply extend the time.
To get a strong bond, we recommend that you do the same process on the reversed side.
Washing recommendation is depending on the care instructions for the main materials used.
