Abstract:

A transfer is made by a process which includes applying a first adhesive to a base sheet, applying flock fibers to the adhesive for temporary retention thereby on the base sheet, then applying a second layer of adhesive to exposed ends of the flock fibers with the second layer being formed of a composition including an emulsion or solution, preferably an aqueous emulsion, of an adhesive polymer in a carrier liquid together with a large number of minute solid particles of a thermoplastic polymer resin intermixed intimately with the emulsion or solution before application of the composition to the fibers, and with the composition preferably being pressed against the fibers so that upon evaporation of the carrier liquid the second layer remains adhered to the fibers in integrated form with at least some of the particles received between the fibers. The thermoplastic particles are ultimately melted during application of the transfer to an item of clothing or the like, to adhere the flock to that item by the thermoplastic.
