There may be occasions where your production process could dramatically be improved or where the quality of your product could be brought to a much higher standard if there was the possibility to bond / fuse / glue permanently parts of a textile fabric or product. 

Our fusible bonding yarns are manufactured from CO-PA or CO-PES and are available in various counts from 23 to 840 dtex. They can be used in a wide variety of application possibilities in the textile, shoe and label industries. The melting range of these products lies between 60° C and 140° C.

Some examples of applications for Grilon fusible bonding yarns are:

• trouser waist bands

• tube-bands for supports in wired bras

• labels for clothing and shoes

• elastic bands for strengthening picot

• edge bonding

• the manufacture of bonded sewing thread

• securing stitching / loops

One very interesting application area is the manufacture of chenille yarn, for washing-machine resistant pullovers and covers for furniture and automobile seating.

The structure of chenille yarn is not securely stabilised simply by binding of the fiber pile, which is then lost during every working step and wearing, until only two supporting fibers remain. In order to avoid this problem, many of our customers use Grilon fusible fibers to provide an adhesive bond with the pile fibers which then can no longer be pulled out of the basic thread. Products produced in this way are much more resistant to washing, dry-cleaning (PER) and seawater.
