Freudenberg will also be showcasing comfortemp® FLEXX, the first adaptive thermal insulation featuring elastic reinforcement elements. These solutions will be on show at the digital ISPO Munich 2021 from February 1 to 5, 2021, which is being staged online at www.ispo.com.

Sustainability is an integral part of Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel’s business activities. For example, the company recycles around seven 7 million used PET bottles every day, making it one of the largest reusers of post-consumer PET bottles in Europe. This is reflected in the Freudenberg Active Range too, where most products are made from at least 70 percent recycled polyester. Thanks to their highly developed adhesive polymers, selected products in the range are exceptionally suitable even for complicated outer fabrics that are difficult to process.

Despite being fixed, highly elastic facing fabrics retain their flexibility and remain breathable. This is ensured by a special technology with which the bonding compound is applied to a carrier material in the form of small dots without using a base material. And even for outer fabrics that do not allow fixation or where no fixation of the interlining is desired, the Active Range offers the ideal solution: sewable interlinings that allow a natural yet elastic feel while keeping the garment in the desired shape.
