Advanced technological solutions for interlinings

Textile researchers and interlining manufacturers constantly improve their offerings and invent new solutions. French company Chargeurs and German company Freudenberg are leaders in the market with their product innovations. Currently, the most important development directions are stated for sustainable interlinings, lightweight interlinings, high elasticity interlinings, heat-sensitive interlinings and increased bonding strength interlinings. Many producers manufacture interlinings from recycled materials: polyester, thermoplastic elastomers, polyamide (PA), cotton, and wool. Few advanced ones are announced as biodegradable products. The new interlinings can be fused at lower temperatures, thus supporting the energy saving concept. Very light interlinings are developed to manufacture garments form very light or even transparent fabrics. Special high-elasticity interlinings are created to manufacture highly comfortable active wear, underwear, and casual clothing. Enzyme wash interlinings are manufactured from hot melt PA adhesive powder to withstand garments’ high washing and dyeing temperatures. Water-soluble base material interlinings replace traditional tear-away stabilizers, creating embroideries. Water-soluble resin interlinings can be used to create casual and vintage-looking garments.
