Flocking is the process of applying fine fibres to an adhesive
coated
surface (known as
the substrate). Flock fibres are applied
electro-statically to a substrate.
Electro-static flocking uses a charge to impel and align flock
fibres
into the adhesive
and results in a professional looking, anti-glare,
durable and uniform finish. Compared to the other cheaper
methods
like
spraying flock fibres using a pump or spray bottle or manually
sprinkling flock fibres onto adhesive coated surface, electro-static
flocking will result in a far superior finish.
Quantum Mouldings
offers only Electro-Static Flocking as used by
many WRC factory teams as it offers the best durability, finish and
appearance for our customers. In our experience Electro-Static
Flocking is the only suitable way to apply flocking for in-car use.
The other methods simply will not stand up over time. Unlike many
"do-it-yourself" kits available on the internet, we only use
high-durability, fire-resistant flock fibres as used in the
automotive industry.
