Flocking tights are a must have for the fashionista who is looking to add a little flair to their legwear. With a sweet flocked bow on the back seam and a stretchy nylon fabric these are a must have in your wardrobe.

The flocking process is a printing method that involves the application of small fiber particles to an adhesive-coated surface, usually by an electrostatic process. It can be used to produce a variety of products with an appearance similar to velvet or a brush-like texture, such as t-shirts, floor coverings, gift/jewelry boxes and upholstery.

It can be done on a wide range of materials such as metal, plastic and wood. The resulting finish can have many different aesthetic, functional and practical properties, including insulation, slip-or-grip friction, retention of a liquid film and low reflectivity.

Some of the most common applications include flocked t-shirts, door moldings and window trim in the automotive industry, as well as coating window rubbers and glove boxes for Rally cars. The process reduces water condensation and acts as a thermal insulator.

There are several different types of flocking equipment on the market, ranging from hand-held units to automatic multicolour systems. They can be incorporated into garment presses or standalone machines.

The most popular type of flocking equipment is an electrostatic flocking system. Unlike puffer or blown applications, it allows the flock particles to penetrate and stick to the surface of the adhesive without shedding, resulting in a velvet finish.

It can also be applied to a variety of substrates such as leather, cloth, metal and paper. Various types of adhesives are used to coat the flocked material, and the finished product is often a coated fabric with a textured or velvety finish.

Flocked surfaces are also used for a wide range of industrial applications, including coating glass or other surfaces to help reduce the amount of reflections. They are also used in the photographic industry to reduce the reflectivity of bellows and lens hoods, as well as in 135 film cartridges.

Depending on the size of the object being flocked, the process can be very labor intensive and expensive to implement. It is therefore not considered a decorating technique in most cases, but it is gaining popularity again as a manufacturing option due to the varying end products it produces and the fact that it is so versatile.

There are many different rules that determine the behavior of a flock of birds. These rules can be adjusted by changing the sliders on the right side of the screen. They determine how many birds are in the flock, how closely they stay together, and how they split up when there is a break in their bonds.

In addition, there are three TURN-ANGLE sliders that control how the birds turn around. These sliders can be used to create a dynamic flock of birds by having different rules affect the direction in which they turn, or by having the same rule affecting each bird’s speed and distance from other birds.
