1. In a method for forming a flocked article which comprises flocking an adhesive coated substrate with short fibers, wherein said adhesive is formed from a polymer selected from one of the groups consisting of(a) acrylic, vinyl-acrylic, vinyl, urethane and styrene-butadiene latexes,(b) acrylic homo and copolymers, polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyester polyols with diisocyanates, isocyanate prepolymer with polyamine, and epoxies with polyamines;
- and(c) diisocyanate and a polymeric polyol, epoxy resins and polyamides, epoxy resins and dimercaptans, epoxy resins and polyamines, polyenes and a peroxide, polyethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, and plasticized polyvinylchloride, the improvement comprises adding to the adhesive at least one adhesion improving additive selected from the group consisting of compounds conforming to the formulae;
##STR3## wherein R is a C1 through C6 alkyl or cycloalkyl radical or hydroxy group, n=0-5, inclusive and x=0-3, inclusive;
##STR4## wherein each R'"'"' is independently selected from hydrogen and C1 through C6 alkyl or cycloalkyl radical, R" is either hydrogen or --NR'"'"'2 wherein R'"'"' is as defined above, and Z is NO3 or XO4 wherein X is a halogen; and
mixtures of any two or more thereof.
