flocked fabric 1 fig1 the flocked fabric consists of short fibers 2 fig2 secured to a substrate 3 by means of a suitable adhesive 4 these fibers 2 form a flock which typically is made of a polyamide fiber in the present invention a nylon 6 6 flock is preferred the fabric may be adhered by mechanical electrostatic methods typically electrostatic methods may employ those generally described in u s pat no 5 108 777 which issued on apr 28 1992 the greige goods preferably comprise a substrate fabric made of a 65 35 polyester cotton substrate conventionally adhered by electrostatic methods or the like is a microdenier fiber such as a 0 9 denier semi dull dupont nylon 6 6 fiber cut into lengths of 0 030 inches preferably the microdenier pile should have erect fibers of 1 1 denier or less with a length of 0 035 34 or less for better definition by using a fine denier the hand of the product is enhanced and will result in a product which is softer than a true jacquard fabric the adhesive securing the fibers to the substrate may comprise a water based acrylic latex with a tg of 11 u00b0 c thickeners and other chemicals may be added as required to make a flocked adhesive in a conventional fashion a typical fabric used in this process may comprise a fabric having a total weight of 7 5 plus or minus 0 2 oz yd 2 an adhesive weight of 2 6 plus or minus 0 1 oz yd 2 and a flock weight of 1 4 plus or minus 0 1 oz yd 2 the.
