ABSTRACT:
A flame retardant fastener adapted for releasable engagement to a second fastener. A backing layer of the fastener is constructed of a flame retardant polymeric material having an exposed bonding surface and a support surface. A multiplicity of flexible, resilient stem portions extend generally perpendicular to the bonding surface. The distal stem portions have an enlarged head portion located on a distal end of the stem portion. The enlarged head portions have a top surface opposite the distal stem portions and a latching surface opposite the bonding surface. The head portions is disposed to afford movement along different portions of the backing layer and into releasable engagement with the second fastener. A non-flame retardant, pressure sensitive adhesive is applied the support surface.
