Abstract

Flock is a staple fiber with a length of 0.3-5 mm and a fineness of 1.2-28 dtex. Flock is used in many fields such as suede, upholstery fabric, carpet production, clothing, shoes and bags, automotive industry, packaging, paper, cardboard, toys, etc. After the flock is produced, the flocking process is started. The flocking process, on the other hand, is the process of sticking and fixing small fiber particles onto adhesive-coated surfaces. During this process, process parameters such as the amount of moisture, conductivity, volatility in the electrostatic field and the amount of clustering are the most important parameters affecting the flock quality. Flock can be made using different fibers.
Within the scope of this study, a detailed literature study was carried out in the context of flock production. The parameters that are important in flock production are mentioned and common problems and solution suggestions are presented in the production stages.

Abstract

Flok, 0,3-5 mm uzunluğunda ve 1,2-28 dtex inceliğine sahip olan kesik elyaftır. Flok, süet kumaş üretiminde, döşemelik kumaş, halı üretimi, giysilik, ayakkabı ve çanta üretimi, otomotiv sektörü, paketleme, kâğıt, karton, oyuncak vb. gibi pek çok alanda kullanılmaktadır. Flok üretildikten sonra floklama işlemine geçilir. Floklama işlemi ise, küçük elyaf parçacıklarının yapışkan kaplı yüzeylere saplanması ve sabitlenmesi işlemidir. Bu işlem esnasında nem miktarı, iletkenlik, elektrostatik alandaki uçma süresi ve topak miktarı gibi proses parametreleri, flok kalitesini etkileyen önemli parametrelerdir. Flok, farklı elyaf kullanarak yapılabilmektedir.
Bu çalışma kapsamında flok üretimi bağlamında ayrıntılı bir literatür çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Flok üretiminde önemli olan parametrelerden bahsedilmiş ve üretim sürecinde sık karşılaşılan problem ve çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.
