The so-called flocking fabric is made of various types of fabrics as the base fabric, with nylon or viscose fleece planted on the front, and then steamed and washed. It has a rich suede surface, soft hand feel, bright color and unique style. This fabric has a wide range of uses. It is not only an ideal fabric for making winter women’s suits, skirts, and children’s clothing, but is also widely used in the field of home textiles. It is currently mainly used for sofas, cushions, seat cushions, etc.
Advantages and disadvantages of flocked fabrics
1. Anti-fouling
Currently Generally, decorative fabrics need to be treated with anti-fouling additives such as “Scokodial” and other additives. The anti-fouling effect of pure cotton may be better, but the effect of general blended fabrics is not very obvious. The common disadvantage is that it affects the original color and feel. However, flocking cloth is made of nylon material. Nylon 66 itself has certain anti-fouling properties. Coupled with the current transformation of American fiber, the anti-fouling properties of the flocked cloth produced can be said to be the best in the world. Generally, stains remaining on the cloth can be wiped clean with a cloth dampened with water. Such as ink, pencil, oil stains, etc., just add some soap to the stained surface of the cloth, and then slowly rub it in circles for three minutes to restore the status quo and keep it looking new for a long time.
2. Waterproof
The nylon 66 of flocking itself has waterproof effect. If waterproof treatment is added, the effect will be better than any cotton decorative fabric.
3. Anti-static
General flocking cloths have anti-static properties
4. No lint loss
Inspect flocking The basic criterion for whether the fabric is qualified is whether it loses hair or not. Some fake flocked fabrics will lose their hair after being touched for a few times, let alone wiped with hands.
5. Soft feel
Swan fur is the softest and tactile fur among animals. Genuine flocking fabrics have a soft and delicate feel to the touch. Soft and comfortable, it’s like holding a swan in your arms. Its feel is unmatched by other fabrics. It is a fabric that is warm in winter and cool in summer.
6. Brilliant colors
There are no restrictions on the coloring of other cotton or chemical fibers when it comes to flocking. The fluff can achieve the coloring effect through different process requirements. Some are dyed and flocked with fluff, and then dyed in a dye vat after flocking. Some are colored by air pressure or laser.
