Velcro Made From Metal Holds 35 Tons Per Square Meter

Velcro is widely used today for all manner of things. Velcro can hold pictured on the wall, keep your shoes tied, or keep tools at your side and easy to reach. The downside is that the material isn't good for industrial use since it can't stand up to chemicals or heat.

A new type of Velcro has been unveiled that is metallic and can hold a huge amount of weight, while being heat and chemical resistant. The material has metal hooks and openings that when pressed together can hold up to 35 tons per square meter of material.

This is from a strip of material only 0.2mm thick. The fastener material is also good in temperatures up to 800C. My question is this, if 35 tons won't unhook the metallic Velcro, how do you separate the strips if you need to remove the material? Supposedly, no special tools are needed to separate the material.
