Current Flow - an Additional Quality Criterion for Flock?

摘要

Because of actual reasons we would like to point out the current measuring of flock and introduce the testing procedure. With surface flocking as well as flocking of formed parts it shows that the current values may have a significant influence both on the production speed as well as on the quality. The preparations of individual flock suppliers considerably differ in the current consumption without one speaks about it. This may be coincidence but may be the individual flock manufacturers know more about the correlation without instructing their clients. It may well be that this report will start a trade discussion. The target of all testing of raw materials is a smooth production, free of disturbances and with reproducible results. For flocking, this means the flock has to comply with certain quality criteria. These parameters have to correlate to settings of the flocking line. A good result depends as well on other materials (adhesive and substrate) and the required climatic conditions.
