Abstract
A loop component for use in a hook and loop fastening system, and methods of making same are provided, wherein a spunlaced fabric having a plurality of loop structures is formed by entangling a plurality of non-interbonded fibers in a fibrous web of material. The loop structures are configured to engage hooks from a hook component having a hook density between about 30 and 400 hooks per square centimeter, and have a peel strength of between about 50 grams and 2000 grams. The spunlaced fabric may include a backing layer.
