Basics

  • Flocked carpet is made of Nylon (Polyamide) flock which is glued onto a fibreglass carrier using PVC glue. Either PVC or other compound products serve as backing.
  • Flock may be supplied in the shape of 2 m wide roll-to-roll carpet or in the shape of carpet tiles.
  • Flocked carpet products are mainly used in commercial buildings or in high traffic areas. Good penetration as well as light and shampoo fastness are required.

Printing Methods

  • Flock can be printed with flat screen printers, rotary screen printers or with COLARIS inkjet technology.
    ZIMMER AUSTRIA has developed the process technology to print flock products on a roll-to-roll basis using COLARIS in combination with digital inline pre-treatment.
