Abstract
Provided is a molded surface fastener capable of stably having high engaging strength with respect to a loop member. The molded surface fastener of the present invention includes a base portion and a plurality of engaging elements provided with a stem portion and an engaging portion, and is formed of synthetic resin containing lubricant at 0.15 wt % or more and 1.00 wt % or less. A top end surface of the engaging element is formed to be flat, and the engaging portion has a hanging portion which hangs down obliquely downward toward the base portion.
Claims13
A molded surface fastener which is made of synthetic resin and including a base portion and a plurality of engaging elements standing on the base portion, wherein each of the engaging elements comprises a stem portion standing on the base portion and an engaging portion which is formed integrally with an upper end part of the stem portion and includes a part extending to an outside of an upper end part outer peripheral edge of the stem portion in a plan view of the engaging element, wherein
- the synthetic resin contains lubricant at 0.15 wt % or more and 1.00 wt % or less,
- a top end surface of the engaging element is formed to be flat, and
- the engaging portion has a hanging portion which hangs down obliquely downward toward the base portion.
A manufacturing method of a molded surface fastener made of synthetic resin and including a base portion and a plurality of engaging elements standing on the base portion, wherein each of the engaging elements comprises a stem portion standing on the base portion and an engaging portion which is formed integrally with an upper end part of the stem portion and includes a part to extend to an outside of an upper end part outer peripheral edge of the stem portion in a plan view of the engaging element, wherein
- the method including:
- a preliminary step of preparing a composition that lubricant at 0.15 wt % or more and 1.00 wt % or less is added to a thermoplastic resin;
- a primary molding step of melting the composition and molding a primary molded body having the base portion and a plurality of primary elements standing on the base portion;
- and
- a secondary molding step of molding the molded surface fastener in which a top end surface of the engaging element is formed to be flat and the engaging portion has a hanging portion which hangs down obliquely downward toward the base portion by contacting a secondary molding roller with an upper end part of the primary element molded in the primary molding step.
