: : FLOCKING PROCESS : :....
In the production of high quality cut flock, Sangam Flock
consistently puts its faith in high-tech.
The
fibres are cut with an unparalleled degree of precision
and treated with an electrostatic finish. For flocking adhesive
is applied by painting, spraying, screen printing, rolling
or immersion methods to the material which is to be flocked.
With the help of an electrostatic device, flock fibres are
then «shot» into the adhesive which is still
wet.
In this process it is important that at least one tenth
of the total length of the fibre is positioned in the adhesive.
The product is then dried in the air or in an oven and finally
any surplus and loose flock removed.
The method of production guarantees the durability for which
all Sangam Flock products are known. Flock can be applied
to practically any material – porous bases just need
to be primed before the adhesive is applied.
The thickness and length of the fibres are selected according
to the appropriate purpose.
