The 100% recycled TPE base material interlinings are available in weights ranging from 40 to 90 g/m2. They have a wide range of uses - from lightweight knitwear with applications in leggings and sports bras to elastic fabrics requiring medium to heavy weight e.g. denim, maternity wear or casual leisure wear. According to the company, the new interlinings offer sustainability without compromising on quality.

Made from 100% recycled TPE, the interlinings reduce the use of virgin raw materials. They also reduce the demand for extractive processes needed to produce new raw materials. Taking lifecycle management into account, the use of recycled components also reduces waste in landfills and oceans.

Complete range of superelastic insoles

The XB and UE series provide Freudenberg customers with additional elastic interlinings. The XB series comprises nonwoven interlinings available in weights from 40 to 72 g/m2. They have a soft handle and high wash resistance. These interlinings are applicable in all sportswear and fashion segments, e.g. in the waistband of leggings and in cuffs. UE series interlinings are available in weights from 153 to 220 g/m2. They offer high elasticity, good shape recovery and strong support. In addition, the mesh structure ensures excellent breathability, for example in sports bras.
