Spunlaced loop material for a refastenable fastening device and methods of making same

A method of forming a loop component for use in a hook and loop fastening system, comprising:

• entangling a plurality of non-interbonded fibers in a fibrous web of material to form a spunlaced fabric having a plurality of loop structures that are configured to engage hooks from a hook component;
• and
• stretching the spunlaced fabric in a cross web direction between about five percent and one-hundred twenty five percent (5%-125%) of the unstretched width of the spunlaced fabric.

A loop component for use in a hook and loop fastening system, comprising a spunlaced fabric having a plurality of loop structures formed by entangling a plurality of non-interbonded fibers in a fibrous web of material, wherein between about two percent and about twenty-five percent (2%-25%) of a surface area of the spunlaced fabric is bonded to reduce fiber fuzzing and pull out caused by hooks engaging with and disengaging from the loop component.

A hook and loop fastening system, comprising:

• a hook component having a hook density between about 30 and 400 hooks per square centimeter;
• and
• a loop component, comprising a spunlaced fabric having a plurality of loop structures formed by entangling a plurality of non-interbonded fibers in a fibrous web of material, wherein the loop structures of the spunlaced fabric are configured to engage hooks from the hook component, and wherein between about two percent and about twenty-five percent (2%-25%) of a surface area of the spunlaced fabric is bonded to reduce fiber fuzzing and pull out caused by hooks from the hook component engaging with and disengaging from the loop component.
