Abstract
A strip-form touch fastener component includes a resin base having a front surface from which an array of molded plastic fastener elements project, and a reinforcing knit fabric directly laminated to a side of the resin base opposite the fastener elements, the fabric having float filament sections extending generally along an outer surface of a back side of the fastener component. The float sections are connected to the back side of the fastener component only at their ends, and otherwise lie against the back side of the fastener component to reinforce the resin base against tearing.
