Flocked plush can enhance the appearance and texture of plush toys, making flocked processing an indispensable technique in the production of various plush toy products. However, the shedding of flocked plush can affect product quality. What are the reasons for shedding in plush toy flocked processing?
The main reasons for shedding after plush toy flocking processing include:
Adhesive Quality: Adhesives are crucial for securing the fluffy material to the plush toy's surface, making their quality significantly impact the shedding of the fluff. Inadequate adhesion often leads to fluff falling off. Next is the sizing thickness; a thicker sizing results in slightly tighter adhesion, but not necessarily the best. Generally, the sizing thickness is required to be around 0.2 millimeters. However, for plush toys that demand a high level of softness and touch, a thicker sizing is needed.
Adhesive Stretchability: During the high-temperature baking of semi-finished products, two agents undergo chemical cross-linking and curing to form a film under the catalysis of high temperature. When stretched at high temperatures, the lower fabric deforms due to mechanical force, potentially breaking the adhesive film attached to the base fabric. The fibers at the break can be brushed off the adhesive film, some of which can be collected using a vacuum cleaner, but others may be drawn into the fibers by static electricity. Once the static electricity is gone, these fibers will eventually fall off.
Drying Temperature: Apart from the adhesive factor, if the temperature is not properly controlled during drying and baking, the plush toy's fur can fall off during washing due to insufficient drying or baking temperature after the plush processing.
