| Correct: The fastener should be snug against
the garment and parallel with the fabric foundation and it's fastening
component |
| Loose: The product is loose on the application
and can be easily pulled off the garment. This can be caused by
several conditions: machine set-up, incorrect application pressure,
compatibility of the fastener system with application. |
| Uneven: The two halves of the fastener
component are not parallel to each other, making the attachment
weak and compromised. This is a result of inconsistent foundation
thickness, variations of the garment construction or the attaching
equipment. |
| Seams: If the fastener is attached on
a stitched seam, it may cut the thread thus compromising the integrity
of the seam. |
| Thick Applications: Excess foundation
thickness can cause weak attachments resulting in low pull off values.
Thin applications can also have the same affect. |
| Always consult your UFI representative or contact
UFI's field technical service (FTC Dept.) for recommendations regarding
product applications and preferred equipment. |
