Q
What is “flock”?
A
Flock are fine-cut textile fibres made from viscose, cotton, polyester or polyamide. These are applied in a coating to arrive at the appropriate suturing with the textile. Flock can be found in furnishings, curtain materials, shoes and even in a wide variety of packaging materials.
Flocart uses this technology to give added comfort and flexibility to its black out curtains.
