A male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener-equipped sheet includes a male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener and a non-foam resin sheet integrated on the back surface of the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener. The male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener includes a resin-made base plate and a plurality of male-type engaging elements made of the same resin, rising from the surface of the base plate and arranged in a row. The male-type engaging elements are bent in the direction of the row direction of the male-type engaging elements from the middle thereof, where the tip end portion approaches the base plate. The non-foam resin sheet is directly laminated and integrated on the back surface of the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener. The resin constituting the non-foam resin sheet is a resin mainly composed of an elastomer resin of the same type as the resin constituting the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener, though with a lower hardness.

A water-soluble male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener includes a substrate and a plurality of male-type engaging elements, arranged in rows, protruding from the substrate surface. The engaging elements have a shape rising from the substrate surface and curving mid-course in a row direction, or a shape rising from the substrate surface, branching forward and backward mid-course in the row direction and curving in the row direction, with tip portions oriented toward the substrate surface in either shape. The substrate and the engaging elements both contain a mixture of a polyvinyl alcohol, 5 to 30 parts by mass of a polyhydric alcohol- or ethylene oxide-based polymer, and 3 to 20 parts by mass of a layered inorganic particle, based on 100 parts by mass of the polyvinyl alcohol. The polyvinyl alcohol has a degree of polymerization of 300 to 700 and a degree of saponification of 60 to 80% by mole.

Water-soluble male molded hook-and-loop fastener and method for producing same

A mesh hook surface fastener does not lose engagement ability even when subjected to mold-in forming and gives only a slight feeling of something foreign. The mesh hook surface fastener contains first shape holding ribs (a) with a relatively small protrusion height and second shape holding ribs (a) with a relatively large protrusion height which protrude to the opposite side of hook-shaped engagement elements (B, B) across a base layer (A) and are alternately arranged. The heights of the adjacent shape holding ribs (a, a) are different, which prevents the direct entrance of a foamable resin liquid and weakens its force. As the force weakens, foaming and curing progress more readily and, as a result, the amount of the foamable resin liquid that passes through meshes of the base layer to reach the hook-shaped engagement elements can be reduced.

There is provided a touch fastener that has high followability to the relative movement of portions to be engaged and does not easily separate from a mating member, and thus is usable in a wider range of applications. In the touch fastener, all the elements, that is, first strands, second strands, and engagement elements are formed of a thermoplastic elastomer. Further, the plurality of first strands and the plurality of second strands are disposed to intersect with each other, and consequently, hole portions each surrounded by the two adjacent first strands and the two adjacent second strands are provided. Accordingly, it has a high elastic function, easily stretches, and has high followability to the relative movement of portions to be engaged.
