Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel (Freudenberg Apparel) will be presenting its sustainable interlinings, canvas, thermal insulations, and linings from the House of Sustainability specifically tailored for fashion, sportswear, and shirt segments at the Apparel Sourcing Week 2024. The event will take place from August 28-29 in Bangalore and is pivotal for the fashion industry, reflecting the dynamic apparel sourcing landscape in India.

Innovative interlinings for shirt and menswear
Freudenberg Apparel will introduce the latest innovations in shirt interlining technology with the RCY 99xx series, offering weights from 30 g/m2 to 155 g/m2. This series is designed for contemporary fabrics that maintain the natural hand feel, texture, and shape, while also adding a creative edge to shirt design. Additionally, the RCY 39xx series, weighing from 70 g/m2 to 167 g/m2, will be highlighted for its cotton-like hand feel, comparable to traditional cotton interlining. Made with rPET, it ensures durability and low-temperature fusing without visible impurities.
In the fashion segment, the MTW series of bi-elastic twill interlinings will be presented, noted for their strong bond, resilience, and high shape retention even after multiple washes. These features make them ideal for washable jackets and contribute to the durability and longevity of garments. The GBE series will demonstrate its superior bonding and elasticity, perfect for hydro-expansion fabrics like CV and spandex, offering up to 30% stretch adaptability.
