Innovative technology to create a comfortable and seamless experience
Seamless adhesive dispensing compound technology, with the advantage of high production efficiency, multiple base material options and flexible design, has become a leading trend in the textile industry. At SIUF, Henkel highlighted its seamless adhesive dispensing composite solutions, which can be widely applied in the production of underwear, sportswear, outdoor apparel, and more.
As consumers increasingly demand both comfort and style, seamless underwear has gradually become a popular choice. Henkel’s seamless dispensing compound adhesives can be applied under low application temperatures and with long open time. With different products for different operational processes, the compound provides excellent adhesion to the base materials and maintains a soft feel when fully set, making it very suitable for the underwear, which requires high elasticity and comfort.
In addition to underwear, the application of highly-resilient Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) technology can effectively improve the comfort and performance of sportswear and outdoor apparel. Since Henkel’s hot-melt adhesive technology requires low dispensing temperatures and provides strong initial adhesion to PTFE films, it builds a solid waterproof barrier while easily exhausting perspiration to achieve both water resistance and breathability.
Moreover, fabrics can be compounded with less adhesive via the invisible bonding of glue points, thereby providing customers with an ideal choice that offers outstanding performance, environmental protection and cost-effectiveness.
Henkel also set up an interactive area for intimate clothing and ready-to-wear solutions, to intuitively introduce the bonding application of Henkel’s adhesives in various apparels. In addition, Henkel displayed adhesives solutions with high water repellency and high moisture permeability, bronzing fabric liquid PUR solutions, masks and protective clothing solutions. For diversified textile application scenarios such as urban fashion, home leisure, outdoor sports and health care, Henkel has adapted solutions to accurately break down production pain points and effectively improve user experience, leading to the continuous advancement of the textile and apparel industry.
