Polmac Flock Fabrics
Consumers are always searching for something unusual and different, as are suppliers. A special item, or product will increase their market share and generate more business.
Flock fabrics, do provide something different, which is always a top priority for both consumers and suppliers and this has led to a recent upsurge in the their use.
Flocking for decorative purposes has been used from the earliest times. In the Middle Ages, for example, fibre dust was attached to sticky surfaces.
However, it was in the 1970s, with the advent of better technology and adhesives, that flocking became a much more popular decoration method.

Flock fabrics are made by applying short, coloured fibres, usually nylon, rayon or polyester, directly to a flexible substrate material, that has been coated with an adhesive. The adhesive must be as flexible and resistant to wear as the substrate.
The diameter of the individual flock strands are only about a thousandths of a centimetre, with lengths ranging from 0.25 - 5 mm.
The flock strands are electrically charged by a special machine, which causes them to stand up. The strands are then fixed at right angles to the substrate, providing a tough, durable material.
