Hook and Loop
•
Hook and loop strips are generally designed into a thermal acoustical insulation blanket rather than added during installation.
•
Precludes the use of other attachment means such as clips or tapes at installation.
•
Preferred fastener for parts that need to be accessed regularly.

Damping Systems•
Various thicknesses of materials used (sandwich constructions)
•
Weakest link appears to be the PSA (adhesion to the aircraft skin)
•
Led to decision to test at interface of the damping system adhesive layer and piece of sheet metal (simulate aircraft skin) in Radiant Panel Test Apparatus
•
Sample size and sample placement is similar to mated hook and loop samples
•
Requires build up to achieve correct height for flame impingement (using Kaowool™
M boards)
