To flock a pile to cloth or other material coated with an adhesive by applying the static electricity is called as the flocking. A pile soars along with a line of electric force and pierces a material surface if setting a material coated with an adhesive at an electrode to be a counter electrode against another electrode, applying the DC high voltage, and supplying a pile material between the electrodes. It is possible to flock a pile on the whole surface of cloth or surface of automotive part etc. vertically.
The electrostatic flocking is classified to two types, "Decoration" and "Function", and in Decoration, a high-grade sense of appearance design is arranged, and in Function, there are effects such as thermal insulation, silencing, prevention of diffused reflection, prevention of dew condensation and friction damping etc.
