Finishing process: Fusing a label on T-shirt
• Fusing is an alternative process of fabric joining which is widely used to attach interlinings. The fusible interlining consists of a base cloth,
which may be similar to that used for a sew-in interlining, but will carry on its surface a thermoplastic resin in the form of dots, which will
melt when heated to a specific temperature and pressure and flow into the fabric to make the bond.
• Not all garment fabrics can be fused, and there may always be some situations where sew-in interlining continues to be used, but in the
vast majority of garment making today, fusing is the most common process, the reason being both technical and economic. At present,
apparel manufacturing cannot be imagined without fusing process
Resinated interlining surface is placed and applied required pressure and temperature
Resin coating of interlining is melted by heat into the fabric under pressure
It becomes cool and hard both the fabric and interlining is attached
