To achieve a good flock adherence and resistancy, the parts to be flocked have to be dry and free from all separating agents (grease, oil, wax, dust, impregnations, etc.) The materials used have to be checked on their suitability by resp. pre-trials.
Flocking should be carried out immediately after the adhesive application. A minimum waiting time between adhesive application and flocking is not necessary. The open time of the adhesive depends on the quantity, the substrate and the temperature and may last from 3 to 5 minutes approx.
