Spectro Coating Corp is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of flocked rolled goods. We have been manufacturing for 20 years, and our team brings over 200 years of combined experience to the flocking business.

 

What is Flock? - Flock is fibers cut into small particles. The fibers can be natural or synthetic. These fibers can be cut randomly, where the length of each fiber is not the same, or they can be cut precisely, allowing the each fiber to be the same length. Spectro take these small cut fibers and adheres them to a surface using an adhesive. We use mechanical and static charge to keep them aligned. The result is a material with a pile surface.

 

We can flock materials in a variety of manners. These include a surface that is 100% covered or printed. We also have the ability to emboss patterns into the materials.

 

There are a number of fibers available including nylon, rayon, polyester, cotton, and acrylic. We are not limited to these fibers, and have experimented with other fibers including bamboo, Kevlar, Basofil, and PTFE.

 

Most of our adhesive systems are water based acrylic systems, but we have used a variety of other systems that are meant for a certain end use. We only use water based system in our manufacturing process.

 

By taking the different attributes of the base material, the adhesive, and the flock fibers you can come up with a specialized material for different end uses.

 

To see certain characteristics of flocked materials check our page of flocking properties. These are just a few characteristics that flocked materials can provide. The rest is up to the imagination.

 

We look forward to working with you in the future on your projects. Please feel free to contact us at anytime to talk about flock and how it may help your projects.
