Over the past few decades, electrostatic flocking of rubber profiles has developed into an important technique which is now extensively used in the automobile industry. Flocked profiles are used on car doors, sunroofs and windows. They have two functions in cars: seals with the bodywork and the facilitation of opening and closing functions with a low degree of force. This article provides a brief explanation of the theoretical and practical aspects (with examples).
