WEINHEIM - Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel has launched 37xx PES Series, a range of interlinings that are said to offer the classic feel of cotton combined with the modern features of enhanced durability, increased yields, and low-temperature fusing.

With a 100% PES base and special finish, these Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certified products have applications in the business and smart casual segments.

According to Freudenberg , the new interlinings boast enhanced durability and better resilience and recovery over traditional cotton interlinings. They also offer the added advantages of no visible impurities or foreign fibres, along with low temperature fusing, reducing the risk of yellowing in the finished product. Compared with cotton interlinings, the 37xx PES Series also offers increased yields of up to 150 cm in width and are more cost effective than traditional cotton interlinings, allowing for easier and more efficient manufacturing.

Produced at its Nantong, China factory, Freudenberg also highlighted the optimal quality control of the 37xx Series which, with their Oeko-Tex accreditation, are safe for even the most sensitive skin types, including for babies.

"With the launch of our 100% PES base interlining 37xx Series, we are proud to offer a superior alternative to cotton interlinings," said Merry Chen, Head of Global R&D and Product Compliance, Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel. "These new products combine the timeless textures and reliability of traditional cotton with enhanced durability, increased yields, improved quality control, and high safety standards. We are proud to add the 37xx PES Series, manufactured in our Nantong, China factory, to our interlinings lineup."

The 37xx PES Series currently includes the 3738 and 3755 products, offered in 115 g/m2 and 165 g/m2 weights, respectively. These can be fused with other fabrics and interlinings to create the precise hand feel for garments while also offering a customized soft, medium, or firm hand feel.
