The base fabric is only one part of a fusible interlining. The adhesive coating determines how effectively the interlining attaches to the fashion fabric during the fusing process. If the coating is uneven or the press settings are unsuitable, manufacturers may experience weak bonding, bubbling or edges that begin to lift. Consistent adhesive distribution is therefore an important consideration when evaluating a wholesale material.
Manufacturers should ask fusible interlining suppliers about the coating type and recommended fusing conditions before approving a product. For interlining for suit manufacturer requirements, the adhesive must provide a dependable bond across larger areas while maintaining the desired hand-feel of the garment. A sample test can reveal whether the coating works properly with the actual fabric and production equipment. Testing after cooling and, where appropriate, after cleaning gives manufacturers a better indication of how the bond will perform throughout the garment’s useful life.
