Flock Adhesives Market Overview

The Global Flock Adhesives Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecasting period (2023-2030). Flocking is the process of collecting many small fiber particles onto a surface. It can also refer to the processor's texture to any material used primarily for its flocked surface. Moreover, an article's flocking can increase its value in tactile sensation, color, appearance and aesthetics. Also, it can be performed for functional reasons, including slip-or-grip friction, insulation, retention of a liquid film, and low reflectivity. In addition, flocking is achieved by attaching millions of natural or synthetic fibers to a surface. Over the years, flocking materials and technology have evolved, meaning that today a wide range of effects are achievable.

Furthermore, there are three main types of flocking such as:

• Roll to roll – flocking onto two-dimensional substrates.
• Object flocking – flocking onto three-dimensional substrates.
• Decorative/Graphic screen print and heat transfer flocking.

The flocking process can magically transform a plain, flat surface into a rich, warm, intensely-coloured, comfortable and visually compelling texture.

Parker Hannifin Corp

Parker Hannifin Corp manufacture LORD Flocksil® 1503 D adhesive is a single-coat, polyurethane adhesive used to adhere cotton or polyester flock fibers to various uncured and semi-cured elastomers, including EPDM, NR, CR and SBR. Moreover, when used in combination with a surface treatment, Flocksil 1503 D adhesive can be used for flocking a variety of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Also, Flocksil 1503 D flock adhesive reacts and cures with moisture; however, a raised temperature cure is required to optimize performance and adhesion properties.

Furthermore, the shelf life is one year from the date of manufacture when stored in a well-ventilated area below 25°C (77°F) in an original, unopened container. After opening and removing contents, protect the adhesive from excessive exposure to moisture using dry nitrogen as an inert cover. Do not leave the container open.

Moreover, the company offers various significant features such as:

• Excellent Adhesion – It provides excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates and types of the flock
