ABOUT FLOCK
Look around you. The home you live in. The paper you write on.
The car you drive. From the carpet you stand on to the chair and the
sofa you sit in, the curtain you use at your window, the dress you
wear, flock has become an integral part of everyone's daily life.
Flocking facinates because a textile, velvety or brush-like surface
may be applied to almost any material.Floked products are everywhere
;flock is found on T-shirts, in packaging for parfumes, car glove
boxes, car head liners, flor coverings, model railway-landscapes,
eye liner brushe scrubbing pads, and ...
Consumers are always looking for something different and unusual.
Suppliers seek the same thing - a special item or product that will
increase their market share or generate new business. Developing
somthing different is always a top priority and is the driving force
behind the recent resugence of printer interest in learning about
flocking.
Flocking for decoration is not new. Similar methods were used in the
middle ages to attach fiber dust to sticky surfaces. It was in the
1970s, with the advent of improved Technologies and adhesives, that
floking become a popular decoration method. In the 80s and early 90s
flocking popularity faded away and few printers used the process
while flocking is not the most widely used decorating process, the
average person is aware of its velvet or suede feel.
Over the last several years, however, inquiries about the process
have begun to increase, and flocking is once again in demand as a
decorating method. Even though flocking may not be most decorator's
first choice process at present, It is used widely in many
industrial applications. Flocked surfaces reduce water condensation,
act as good thermal insulators, and have been used in automotive
industry for years for such as glove compertmente boxes, door
moldings and window trim.
APPLICATION OF FLOCK
Flock applications are manifold and highly tecnical besides the well
known automotive applications such as window channels, ABC colums,
glove compaetments, trunks, door panels and the flocked textile
fabrics and flor coverings. We suggest a sellection of application
which may be new to you.
