Interface tape
First Claim
1. A fastener tape comprising (a) a molded resin base sheet with an array of integrally molded fastener elements extending from a first side of the base sheet;
- and (b) a substrate permanently secured to a second side of the base sheet, the substrate comprising first and second yarns or fibers, the first yarn or fiber comprising a first polymeric material and the second yarn or fiber comprising a second, different polymeric materials, one of the polymeric materials being capable of adhesion to the resin of the base sheet.
