APPLICATION
METHODS:
Decorative
flocking is done using any one of the following application methods:
·
Electrostatic
·
Beater
bar/gravity
·
Spraying
and
·
Transfers.
The
electrostatic method is the most viable flocking method.
Flocking
is an alternative decorating method for achieving unusual look. It costs
slightly more than that produced by a standard screen print, and for textiles,
it is less expensive than embroidery. This process uses dyed fibers of nylon
that are charged with high voltage and driven into design. This process
eliminates fiber shedding, which is common with most other flocked images.
Standard flock transfers can also be made in house.
Basically
the pre-press is the same as it is for the screen printing with only a few
differences. The screens are made from coarser mesh counts and the line
thickness of some of the art work is increased. The adhesive is printed, and a
crystalline powder is applied to the transfer and then is sent through the
dryer at a low temperature. This removes moisture from the adhesive, but does
not melt crystalline powder. Excess powder is removed and the transfer is sent
through the dryer for second time. This binds the powder chemically to the
adhesive.
The
most successful method to ensure a good dense coverage is a combination of
electrostatic flock application with the use of beater bars to help increase
the density of the coating.
