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 level if there was the possibility to bond parts of a textile fabric or product on a permanent basis and keeping a normal polyester or polyamide yarn in its place. 

Our combi-yarns play an important part in the economics of clothing production. They are made up of a fusible bonding fiber which is twisted with a normally melting polyester or polyamide supporting fiber. When exposed to heat the fusible adhesive fiber of the combi-yarn, which due to its low melting temperature is only used as lower thread, melts and forms an adhesive bond while the supporting fiber remains unchanged to form a stitched seam with the top thread.

Our combi-yarns are manufactured in various counts from 45 to 1100 dtex and are available with melting points of 85° C and 140° C.

Application possibilities for the products vary widely:

• edge bonding of raschel lace

• fastening of very fine embroidery to burn-out gauze for iron-on application

• fixing of seams, collar gussets, chest pieces and trimmed edges

• leading-edge seams for men’s and boy’s suits and lady’s outerwear.

Grilon combi-yarns can be sewn into normal zig-zag or overlock stitching on edges which are then folded and bonded using a hot iron. The result is a soft, strong seam without marking on the surface of the fabric such as when using fusible film.
