Keeps ABS and PVC flocking routes separate
Product codeAF-4588
ABS Plastic Flocking Adhesive
Water-based flocking adhesive for ABS housings and rigid ABS parts after surface cleaning and production-part testing.
Application fit highlights
Why evaluate AF-4588 for your application
Checks corners, recesses and textured areas after cleaning
Uses abrasion and clean-off results to judge flock anchoring
Application risks
Problems to check before bulk production
Release agent weakens local adhesion
Oil, dust and molding residue may only become visible as a bond problem after drying and clean-off.
Edges and recesses show exposed base
A flat face can pass while corners, grooves and textured areas receive too little adhesive.
Flock loss appears after rubbing
Finished parts should be cleaned and checked with the buyer's actual abrasion method.
Molded batches behave differently
Material grade, release practice and surface texture should stay in the trial record for repeatability.
What this product is for
AF-4588 is a water-based flocking adhesive for ABS housings and rigid ABS parts. The useful trial follows the actual molded part through cleaning, spray coverage, flocking, drying, clean-off and abrasion rather than judging a freshly flocked flat sample.
This page is written for application screening and sample discussion. Final performance should be confirmed with the buyer's substrate, process route, test method and acceptance standard.

Data availabilityTDS and SDS available upon request
Process notes and first trial checks
Clean the molded part and record whether release agent, oil or dust is present.
Use the buyer's current spray and flocking equipment to check film coverage on faces, edges, grooves and corners.
Allow the sample to dry fully, remove loose flock and inspect exposed base before abrasion testing.
Record the approved substrate batch, cleaning, spray, flocking and drying conditions before scale-up.

Testing disclaimer
Final flock adhesion depends on ABS grade, molded-surface condition, cleaning, spray coverage, flock fiber and drying. Confirm the production route with the buyer's actual part.
