J.V. Converting FLOCK-1/BLK05833 JVCC Flock-1 Flocking Tape: 1/2" x 25 ft, Black

JVCC FLOCK-1 Flocking Tape is a black cotton flock non-woven product with an adhesive-coating on one side and denser than traditional felt tape. This product will make a great replacement for velvet.
FLOCK-1 flocking tape can be easily applied around the edges of a wall screen to provide a definitive non-reflective border frame, which gives a more finished and professional appearance.
Because JVCC FLOCK-1 Flocking Tape is non-reflective the border frame will provide an extra perception of brightness and will focus the viewer's attention onto the screen.
Flocking tape can also be used for several other non-entertainment related applications such as; an abrasion resistant substrate and sliding surface for noise reduction (anti-squeak) and dampening, basic surface separation (padding furniture feet), scratch prevention, and rattle noise reduction.
JVCC FLOCK-1 Flocking Tape products are available in adhesive coins, dots, and 25 ft. rolls ranging in sizes 1/2 inch to 4 inches wide.
