What is Flocking?
The Flocking process involves applying short monofilament fibres, usually Nylon or Rayon, directly on to a substrate that has been coated with a specialist Flocking Adhesive. The diameter of the individual Flock strand is only a few thousandths of a centimetre and ranges in length depending on the application.
The Flocking process utilises Electrostatic Equipment that electrically charges the Flock Particles causing them to stand-up on end. The Fibres are then propelled by the equipment and set into a specialist Flocking Adhesive. This creates a pile that has a smooth velvet like feel to the touch. The application is very durable and permanent. A wide range of colours and lengths of Flock are available to create your desired finish.
