Part of an automobile with a flocked lining and procedure for flocking such a part

摘要

The component (1) is covered by a layer of a fine textile mesh (2) before the flocking is applied to it, the mesh being held in place by the same adhesive which is used to secure the flock. The thin mesh layer can be made from a knitted, woven or non-woven fabric which is able to stretch locally to fit over the three-dimensional portions of the surface of the component. It can be made from a synthetic material, e.g. polyamide or polyester, and also a foam. After the component has been covered with the material, which is held under tension by rods or a frame, an adhesive is applied to it and it is then sprayed with flock. POLYMERS - The fine mesh material covering the component can be made from polyamide or polyester.
