Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015170277A1] The present invention concerns a process for the preparation of a flocked material for coating surfaces and structures such as the interiors of automobiles, objects for interior decorating (walls, sofas, armchairs, etc.), handbags, suitcases or other accessories, covers or cases for weapons, musical instruments or electronic devices, or to make carpets and/or rugs, and that comprises the use of bicomponent fibres of the "island-in- the-sea" type of limited length (microfibres). The process of the invention comprises a step of partial and selective dissolution of the sea component by an alkaline removal agent, which makes it possible to obtain a flocked material characterized by improved resistance to abrasion and a more appealing appearance compared to flocked products of the prior art.
