Have you ever considered the production of your clothing? You may not know this, but there are breezes in the world of textiles, an unusual glue called hot melt adhesive film that is life! This adhesive helps bond various pieces of material together, with no spaces. This technology has transformed how clothing is produced. This has simplified and accelerated the process of manufacturing high quality clothing, reducing time in factories.
Hot melt adhesive film is used in numerous applications in garment manufacturing. Perhaps its most widespread application is in seam sealing. When pieces of fabric are sewn into a garment, a few tiny spaces can sometimes be left between the stitches. Those little splits also allow water and air through the clothing, causing damage or discomfort during wear. This is where we come in, by adding hot melt adhesive film over these seams and filling the gaps we create a waterproof and airtight seal. This prolongs the life of the clothes and makes them feel a lot better to wear.
We also have hot melt adhesive film with the ability to bond different types of fabric together which can be used in the clothing industry. This is particularly useful for garments that have more than one layer, such as jackets, coats, or even sportswear. This would allow the whole layers of fabric to meld together seamlessly with no bumps or wrinkles forming between layers. So the final garments look clean and refined. Bonding not only makes your clothing more attractive; it actually fused a garment that is a fully functioning, tougher everyday piece.
Hot melt adhesive film is a special type of plastic that is melted by heat. This glue is melted and spread on a paper. Once the film cools, the paper can be peeled off, leaving only the adhesive film. That film is now ready to be applied to the fabric. The heating and pressing process activates the glue. Hot melt adhesive film is available in varying colors, thicknesses, and strength properties, making it useful for multiple textile industry applications.
By incorporating these into the textile production process there are numerous productivity and quality improvements that can be realized with hot melt adhesive film. First, it saves manual labor, as bonding can be performed by machines. The automation allows factories to manufacture hundreds of garments quickly and economically. This matters because it enables us to fulfill strong customer demand for clothing, who want their favorite styles as quickly as possible. Second, a better quality product is made using hot melt adhesive film. The seams are holding stronger, the layers of fabric are knit more tightly, and the finish on the clothing is also much smoother. That means the end product is more interesting to buyers and can be marketed at a premium price.
