The CHT Group will be showcasing its latest flock adhesives at the plastics trade fair in Düsseldorf.

This years focus topics will be:

  • Water-based adhesives for cosmetic applicators
  • Sustainable product solutions for molded part flocking
  • Silicone adhesives for special applications
     

From October 8 to 15, 2025, the CHT Group will be exhibiting at K, the world's leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry in Düsseldorf, presenting the latest flock adhesives for industrial applications at the joint booth A 01 in Hall 5.

The possible applications of flock technology are virtually endless. 
Flocking is used wherever tactile, insulating, noise-reducing, sliding or adhesive, self-cleaning or decorative properties are required.

In flocking, small fiber particles are electrostatically applied to an adhesive layer that has been applied immediately beforehand, creating a uniformly dense textile surface made up of millions of flock fibers. There are virtually no limits to the substrate, so that flock can even be applied to complex 3D components.

The adhesive can be applied either over the entire surface by spraying and brushing or in a specific pattern using screen printing or rotary printing. This results in highly functional flock coatings for a wide range of applications, such as molded parts, glove boxes, spiral cables, rubber profiles, carpet mats, decorative items, cosmetic applicators, jersey numbers, deflectors, paint rollers, cleaning cloths, eyeglass cases, insulation and barrier layers, and many more.

The CHT Group offers a comprehensive, high-performance, and environmentally friendly range of flock adhesives worldwide.
