Publication number: 20240225207Abstract: A closure part, for vulcanization into products which are produced at least in part by vulcanization, includes at least a rear side, a function side and a barrier layer. The rear side is integrally bonded to a rubber material. The function side has individual hook-and-loop elements that are kept free of the rubber material and produce a releasable hook-and-loop closure when engaged with corresponding hook-and-loop elements. The barrier layer is between the rear and the function side. The barrier layer prevents liquid rubber material and/or flowable vulcanization products from entering the function side from the rear side during vulcanization.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2023Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicant: Gottlieb Binder GmbH & Co.
