Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel (Freudenberg Apparel) will showcase its sustainable interlinings, canvas, thermal insulations, and linings from the House of Sustainability at Apparel Sourcing Week 2024.
To be held from Aug 28-29 in Bengaluru, the Apparel Sourcing Week highlights the dynamic apparel sourcing landscape in India.
To be located at booth B10, Freudenberg Apparel will unveil its latest innovations in shirt interlining technology with the RCY 99xx series, offering a range of weights from 30 g/sq m to 155 g/sq m. Crafted for modern fabrics that preserve the natural hand feel, texture, and shape, this series adds a creative dimension to shirt designs. Additionally, the RCY 39xx series, with weights ranging from 70 g/sq m to 167 g/ sq m, will offer a cotton-like hand feel, comparable to traditional cotton interlinings. Made with recycled PET (rPET), it ensures durability and low-temperature fusing without visible impurities.
In the fashion segment, Freudenberg will present the MTW series of bi-elastic twill interlinings, known for their strong bond, resilience, and excellent shape retention even after multiple washes. These features make them ideal for washable jackets, enhancing garment durability and longevity. The GBE series will also be showcased for its superior bonding and elasticity, making it perfect for hydro-expansion fabrics like CV and spandex, with up to 30 per cent stretch adaptability.
Freudenberg Apparel will also display a comprehensive range of interlinings from its Active Range, tailored for active sportswear. Highlights include rTPE base content interlinings, available in weights from 40-90 g/sq m, suitable for fabrics used in leggings, sports bras, and casual wear.
Additionally, the company will present film bonding solutions for seamless applications in bras, briefs, and tees, emphasising strong shear bonds that eliminate the need for stitching. In the outdoor sportswear segment, Freudenberg will showcase a variety of sustainable thermal insulations and linings, including rPET, biodegradable thermal insulations, and rPET linings, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainability.
