PRODUCT FAQ
-
How strong is the adhesive on the 3M™ Dual Lock™ SJ3741/5408 Fastener?
The 3M™ Dual Lock™ SJ3741/5408 Fastener has a very strong acrylic adhesive that provides a secure hold.
-
Can this fastener be used for both indoor and outdoor applications?
Yes, the 3M™ Dual Lock™ SJ3741/5408 Fastener is designed to be versatile and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.
-
Is it easy to remove or reposition this fastener once it's applied?
While the adhesive on the 3M™ Dual Lock™ SJ3741/5408 Fastener provides a strong hold, it can still be removed without leaving residue behind.
3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3741 is a black roll good without pressure sensitive adhesive and with a stem density of 400. This reclosable fastener can be attached to surfaces by sewing, stapling, and ultrasonically welding to many polypropylene materials or by using liquid adhesives that bond polypropylene. It overcomes the challenges of aligning and installing screws and hidden fasteners, offering a simple installation process that does not require any special tools. Designed for attaching automotive trim components, 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners are positive-locking, blind fasteners. They feature mushroom-shaped polyolefin stems that snap together, forming a high tensile closure. These fasteners are primarily used to secure rigid and semi-rigid surfaces such as trim or door panels, instrument panel bezels, headliners, and other automotive interior and exterior trim.
How It Works
This reclosable fastener features mushroom-shaped polyolefin stems that snap together. When two pieces of 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener are pressed together, the stems flex and the mushroom heads slide past each other. After passing the opposing mating piece, the stems snap back into their original position and the opposing mushroom heads interlock. These fasteners provide high tensile strength but can be opened by simply cleaving or peeling open the closure. Alignment and re-alignment are easy, and no special tools are required. This means that they can be used to attach components before they enter the final assembly plant, thus helping to reduce the number of parts and the length of assembly time.
Stem Densities
3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners can be mixed and matched to meet the needs of the application. Combinations of stem densities and the engaged area provide adjustable and proportional engagement and disengagement force. Dual Lock fasteners are offered in three different densities (stems per square inch): 170, 250, and 400. The Dual Lock fastener SJ3742 has 170 stems per square inch (25mm), offering the tightest hold, and can be mated to Type 170, 250, or 400.
Recommended Applications
3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners can replace conventional mechanical fasteners in a wide range of assembly and attachment applications where reclosability or serviceability is desired. They are primarily used to secure rigid and semi-rigid surfaces such as trim or door panels, instrument panel bezels, headliners, and other automotive interior and exterior trim. Some examples of applications include:
- Vehicle headliners
- Attaching accessories and equipment
- Attaching window and door trim panels
- Vibration and sound damping control
- CHMSL cover plates
- Center console flanges
- Interior trim
- Sunroof rings
3M Science Delivers Closures You Can Count On
At 3M, we thrive on defying conventional wisdom, like the concept that fasteners can both durably attach and easily separate. 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners are ideal for many applications where a high strength, reclosable fastening system is required. Our engineers have uniquely combined physics and materials science to bring the automotive industry reliable fasteners that supply high performance even after exposure to high moisture levels and wide temperature ranges. For applications that require a slide-in piece and multiple closures, look no further than the long-lasting durability of the 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3741. It is yet another outstanding example of how 3M technologies advance operations in the automotive industry, providing both ease of use and superior results.
