1 and 2, an applique 9 according to the principles of the present invention includes a flock adhesive, that is, a polyurethane (PU) film 1 printed with a permanent adhesive layer 2 do. As noted above, the term "applique" in this disclosure refers to a decorative patch or badge that is attached to a fabric to impart a decorative pattern, such as a logo, it means.

A flock fiber layer (3) is attached to the adhesive layer (2) using an electrostatic field. The flock layer 3 may be of a plurality of hues, in which case each hue is sequentially applied using a conventional flocking method. Before or after the flocking operation, an adhesive for attaching, i.e., the hot-melt layer 4, is laminated on the PU film 1.

Hotmelt adhesives include thermoplastic films made from aromatic or aliphatic thermoplastics. The hot melt film may include, but is not limited to, one or more polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins, polyurethanes, and polyurethane esters. For example, the hot melt film may be a 76 micron Bemis Polyester Hotmelt Film 5250.

 In order to attach the pattern to a fabric (e.g., including but not limited to satin or similar satin materials), the removable support 5 is removed and the applicator 4 is placed in contact with the fabric 9) simply on the fabric. By applying heat and pressure, the hot melt penetrates the fabric (F) and fixes the applique in place. Alternatively, attachment may be accomplished using a high frequency welding method.

The present invention has the major advantage of not having to stack any material on the flock and thus preserving the sharpness of the color and the sharpness of the edge of the pattern. It is also very simple to attach, and high frequency welding or heat and pressure can be used. The present design has the major advantage that the flock fibers are not laminated to the release adhesive, which can result in a large amount of flock fibers being pulled out at the time of application, resulting in incomplete flock coverage. The design utilizes a non-toxic permanent hot melt adhesive. Cross-linking of the adhesive is a single step that is not permanent and requires no additional curing time when attached to the fabric. The use of fabric films or hot melt adhesive films also improves coverage and opacity. The generation of waste is also significantly reduced by replacing the traditional screen printing process of adhesive adhesives (which may not be consistent in quality) with the use of films.
