Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a mixed flock fabric of different filaments in which highly curled filaments are straightened, sized, cut into a length of 0.1 to 0.4 inch and electrostatically flocked with non-sized fibres onto a substrate, so that when the size is removed, there is formed a mixed flock fabric having mixed, stiffened and individual fibres.
