We encounter flock everywhere in everyday life - whether catching our eye, discreetly in the background, or totally hidden, but wherever it is used, flock demonstrates its advantages through its outstanding flexibility and qualities. Just like snow falling, flock gives products a soft, clean feel that is pleasing to the eye. This pleasant feel and image, gives products an added value, be it one of opulence and / or improved functionality.
There are hardly any limits to what can be flocked.
Regardless of whether the base is metal, wood, ceramics, textiles, paper or synthetics, for each there is a suitable adhesive and a suitable flock.
Depending on the requirements, flock can solve even the trickiest problems.

Today it has found its place in many industrial fields and everyday new uses are discovered.

Flocking may be used to provide a pleasing effect, reduce sound, protect products, present products, help keep things clean, support filtration processes and, enhance decoration. Finishes may be:

  • Short

    Packaging presentation, lining of storage areas, softer handles on tools and sports equipment etc.

  • Long

    For insulation, filtration, decorative effects etc.

  • Upholstery

    Upholstered for furniture that needs to be durable, hard wearable and resistant to a wide range of temperatures.

  • Sanitary

    Finely bristled for floor coverings in industrial and sanitary locations where it is essential that they can be easily and quickly cleaned.

  • Cleaning

    Rough for cleaning cloths and equipment.
