Flocking Adhesives Market Segmented By product type that is Polyurethane based flocking adhesives, Acrylic based flocking adhesives, Epoxy resin based flocking adhesives used in Automotive, Textiles, Paper & Packaging.
Flocking is a process wherein fibers are deposited on to a substrate coated an adhesives. Here small fiber particles, i.e. flock, are deposited onto a substrate in a continuous process called flocking process and adhesives used in flocking process are termed as flocking adhesives.
Generally, the flocking process is preferred in order to impart color, aesthetic appearance and tactile sensitivity, among others. Also, the flocking process is carried out to provide low reflectivity, friction, grip, insulation and other properties on to the end product. Thus, increasing adoption of flocking process is expected to result in an increase in demand for flocking adhesives across the globe.
Flocking adhesives are selected depending on the characteristic properties and desired finish. Some of the characteristic properties imparted by flocking adhesives include flexibility, flame retardancy, wash-ability, solvent resistance, and pigmentation, among others.
Methods that are used for the application of flocking adhesives are roll-to-roll flocking, roll-over-platform coaters and reverse roll method. Flocking adhesives can be applied using spray applicators, silk-screen, brushing, spraying and dipping, among others.
Flocking adhesives provide several advantages such as noise damping, resistance to wear and weathering, facilitate glass sliding, among others. Different types of flocking adhesives are used for different applications, for instance, polyurethane based are used for vinyl, urethanes are also used for better toughness whereas conductive adhesives are used for flock coatings (through electrostatic means), among others.
Demand for flocking adhesives such as polyurethane-based adhesives is mainly supported by several factors such as the stronger bonding and high elongation properties. Such adhesives are used in windscreens and windows of passenger cars, trucks, and luxury vehicles. Flocking adhesives also find application for bonding fiberglass reinforced plastic in roofing, and panels, among others.
