Fusing is a process in which the interlining is bonded to the outer fabric by

means of a thermoplastic resin. It is a degree with which the fabrics yarns

and fibres melt and weld together.

Attachment of interlinings is used to support, reinforce and control areas

of garments such as collars, cuffs, waistbands, hems, facings and the fronts

of jackets and coats. They are either sewn into the garments or they may

be attached by means of fusing.

Interlinings are available as woven , nonwoven or fusible.

The term fusible fabric refers to fabrics specially constructed for a fusing

process such as fusible interlinings.

FUSING TECHNOLOGYFUSING TECHNOLOGY



The fusible interlining consists of a base fabric which carries on its surface a

thermoplastic adhesive resin, usually in the form of small dots, which melts

when heated to a specific temperature.

On application of heat and pressure the resin, laid onto the garment part,will flow into the fabric of the garment thus attaching the interlining

permanently.

A resin is any natural or man-made organic compound, usually transparent

or translucent , which is not soluble in water. Curing is the term used for

heating the resin to its polymerized state. Polyamide, Polyethylene,

polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride and cellulose acetate are some of the

resins used to make fusible fabrics.

ADVANTAGES OF FUSING PROCESSADVANTAGES OF FUSING PROCESS



Interlinings are available in a wide range of weights

from 0.4 to 4.0 ounces per square yard.

Heavier interlinings provide more support for heavier,

more structured garments such as coats and suits.

Lighter-weight interlinings offer resiliency and somesupport, but they may provide a softer hand.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN INTERLININGHOW TO CHOOSE AN INTERLINING



Fusible interlinings are fabrications coated with some form of resin or

adhesive that serves as a bonding agent to hold the interlining to the shell

fabric.

Substrates may be

wovens

knitsfibre webs

Fusible interlinings must be fused to shell fabric prior to the construction.

Fused garments parts have more body, do not ravel, and are easy to handle

in sewing.

TYPES OF INTERLINGSTYPES OF INTERLINGS



Usually plain weave and may be produced from almost any type

of fiber.

This fabrication is most expensive and subject to raveling and

shrinkage.

When proper interlining are not used stretching, distortion, and

poor drapeability of garment pieces takes place.

Woven interlinings used in collars and front shirt bands may be

cut on the bias to provide good flexibility and shaping as the

garment component rolls and bends.

WOVENWOVEN



Knit fabrics used for interlinings are primarily warp knit tricots,

rachels, and weft insertion rachels.

They are used for strength in relation to weight, low bulk, andsmooth hand.

It provides resiliency in the width, stability and control in thelength, flexibility, and good drapeability with a soft hand. Thistype of knit interlining is commonly used with wool and wool-blend because of their loft, soft hand and resiliency.

They are also used with knit fabrics because of flexibility.

KNITTEDKNITTED



These are the most widely used fabrication for interlining

because of:

low cost

Versatilityease of engineering specific characteristics into interlinings.

These may have less strength but do not ravel while handling

Fiber webs are frequently made from light weight, strong,

synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester.

Factors determining the

properties of the

fused laminate:

1. Base fabric

2. Outer fabric

3. Type of fusible resin

4. Pattern of application

of resin to the basecloth

FUSING EQUIPMENTSFUSING EQUIPMENTS

The equipments used for fusing can be divided into:-

Specialized fusing presses

Hand irons

Steam presses



Two horizontal metal plat ens/bucks between which the fabric and int erlining

laminat e are sandwiched.

The bott om plat en has a resilient cover (silicone rubber/f elt pad).

Heat is provided by electric elements in t op plat en only.

The bott om buck is static and the t op buck is lowered t o fuse the assembly

whilst under pressure, and then raised aft er cooling. Pressure is applied byclosing the plat ens t ogether mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically.

Fusing time is controlled by aut omatic timer in the range of 8-12 seconds.

The operat or places the garment part face down t o the lower plat en, places the

int erlining resin on t op of it and closes the press. Most of these machines are

fitt ed with timers and program controls and can achieve high levels of fusing

qualities.

simple version,

small size and

relatively low cost allow their use by small clothing

manufacturer.

Fabric shrinkage is reduced since the fabric is held

under pressure throughout the fusing cycle.



The syst em operat es by passing the garment part with its

int erlining placed on it , past a heat source and either

simultaneously or subsequently applying pressure. They canbe operat ed without st opping f or the loading and unloading

of the assemblies. The conveyer belt transports the

assemblies through all the processes and the belt speed is

adjustable according t o the time cycle required.

CONTINUOUS FUSING MACHINECONTINUOUS FUSING MACHINE

Working principle



The conveyer belt carry the components past heating plat es

or heating chamber, nip rollers apply pressure t o theassembly aft er heating .

The pressure time is very small as compared t o the flat bed

press and needs t o be precisely controlled and the rollers

should be parallel and free of wear t o give even and unif ormpressure.

The rubber covering of rollers is available in a range of

hardness.

Usually shirt t op collar fusing requires hardest rollers and

out erwear fabrics require soft er rollers.

The above continuous type fusing machine is applicable in privat e, middle and small garment manufacturers.

The k ey f eatures are:-

y 1. Use seamless belt and with joint belt .

y 2.Even t emperature in heat ed area ,has upper and lowert emperature controller, the t emperature could be adjust ed from0 t o 220 degree Celsius. It could press liner single face or double face.

y 3.Electric t emperature controller and direct sensor could control tiny diff erence in t emperature.

4.St op aut omatically when adjust the t emperature, and a hand instruction f or power cut .

y 5.Adopting the new rotating stripping mechanism, which withthe removal lever t o assure the past e things could fall off smoothly.

Besides the highlights of general fusing machine(linear continuous fusing machine),this machine embodies more rationalization and humanization in its

functional design.This machine has unique cooling syst em,which enable the

t emperature of the cloth when aft er the high t emperature fusing come back t o

normal atmosphere t emperature,and it will not leave any trace even the operat or

t ouches the cloth.Curve type operation and the same f eed inlet and outlet

provides more convenience as well as reduce more manpower.



HAND IRONHAND IRON

y Int erlinings which can be fused at relatively

low t emperatures ,low pressure ,and in

relatively short time are suitable f or fusing by

hand iron.

y Iron is used merely t o position an int erlining

part or tape t emporarily ,t o be f ollowed by

pressing on a st eam press or specialized press.

METHODS OF FUSINGMETHODS OF FUSING

Configurations possible both in t erms of the presentation of

the parts t o the fusing press, and in the parts included in the

garment . The main variations are :

Sandwich fusing : Carried out on a horizontal continuous

press where heat is applied from above and below. Two

pairs of components f orming two laminat es are fused

t ogether with the two out er fabrics on the outside of the

sandwich and the two int erlinings on the inside. With the

correct t emperature settings the glue line t emperature

may be achieved in both laminat es but strik e back and all

the layers t o adhere t ogether is considerable



Reverse fusing : The out er fabric lies on the

t op of the fusible, sometimes used f or shirt or

blouse collars. On flat bed presses with the

elements on the t op plat en, t emperature adjustments are necessary.

Double fusing : This is the fusing of two sorts

of int erlinings t o the out er fabric in one

operation used in shirt collars and mensjack et fronts.
