Abstract
Method and apparatus for making a splinter-flocked fabric from a multifilament tow. The tow is formed into a wide, flat ribbon, the tow is impregnated with a size liquid in order to adhere the filaments to each other, and the tow is cut into flock fibre lengths while in the form of a wide, flat ribbon, thus producing flock fibre bands. The bands are broken up into a multiplicity of splinters of controlled denier, the splinters are electrostatically flocked on a substrate, and the size is then removed as by washing with warm water, to produce a splinter-flocked fabric.
