Flocking
or fibercoating is the application of fine particles to adhesive
coated surfaces. The majority of flocking done worldwide uses
finely cut natural or synthetic fibers. A flocked finish imparts
a decorative and/or functional characteristic to the surface.
The variety of materials that are applied to numerous surfaces
through different flocking methods create a wide range of
end products. The flocking process is used on items ranging
from retail consumer goods to products with high technology
military applications.
Today
we see flock in every day applications from fine upholstery
to durable carpeting; from fashion fabrics to childrens shoes;
from christmas ribbon to engineered automotive parts. The
applications are practically endless.
