velcro

Explanation:
I think it's a Mexican word for Velcro. If you Google "contactel velcro", all the hits seem to be using the two as synonyms.

velcro, contactel

Explanation:
Contactel Tex es una marca comercial de un tipo de velcro (que creo también es marca comercial, aunque se ha vuelto palabra común). Viene en cintas. Se usa tanto, que la marca también se está volviendo nombre común.

Curioso: algunos la llaman velcro contactel (para indicar que es un tipo o marca de velcro).
