Detailed description
Most enquiries for this item come down to three decisions made in the wrong order: grade, width, then price. Grade sets the cycle life, width sets the roll cost, and the unit price is only comparable once the first two are fixed.
What the buyer is choosing
The mistake in comparing quotes is looking at the width and the colour and ignoring the yarn. A 25 mm roll at 380 g/m2 and a 25 mm roll at 300 g/m2 look identical in a photograph and behave completely differently after five hundred cycles.
The material question
The construction is a woven hook and loop face in the standard grade: enough hook density for a normal closure, priced for volume rather than for a five-year service life. If the application cycles more than a few thousand times, ask for the higher-density weave instead of paying twice for the same part.
How it is quoted
Payment is 30 percent deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading. Mixed widths on one purchase order are quoted as separate lines with a shared lead time, which is usually cheaper than splitting the order.
What ships with the goods
Certificates are issued per lot rather than per year, and REACH and RoHS declarations travel with the shipping documents. OEKO-TEX documentation is available on request for skin-contact applications.
Checking it on arrival
Do the peel test on the material you will actually bond to, not on a steel plate. The number in the specification is a reference value measured on steel; on powder coat or on a textile it will read differently, and that difference is the one your customer will notice.
If the grade is still open, send the application and the cycle count and we will tell you which of the three constructions is the cheapest one that will survive it.
