It is also possible to coat MDF surfaces with fine fibres using the same principle as powder coating. Millions of short cut fibres are charged in an electrical field and shot vertically onto the base material which has been coated with adhesive. Different surface structures can be created depending on the selected length and thickness of fibres. These finishes can vary from silky-smooth to rough. When "flocking" its furniture, Stilo uses polyamide fibres (a mixture of nylon and perlon). The choice of colours is unlimited since any colour tone that can be created with textile dyeing is possible. Flocking opens up new dimensions in furniture design and is of particular interest because of its acoustic insulation properties.
