Innovative technology to create a comfortable and seamless experience

Seamless technology has the advantages of high production efficiency, multiple choice of substrates, and flexible design, and has become the dominant trend in the textile industry
.
At SIUF, Henkel highlighted its non-sewing adhesive solutions for a wide range of applications in the production of underwear, sportswear, outdoor apparel and more
.

With consumers increasingly demanding comfort and >
.
Henkel's non-sewing adhesives can be used at lower application temperatures and longer open times
.
Since different products are suitable for different operating procedures, the compound has excellent adhesion to the substrate and maintains a soft hand when fully set, making it ideal for underwear requiring high elasticity and comfort
.

In addition to underwear, the application of highly elastic polyurethane reaction (PUR) technology can effectively improve the comfort and performance of sportswear and outdoor clothing
.
Because Henkel's hot melt technology requires lower dispensing temperatures and has a strong initial adhesion to PTFE film, it builds a solid waterproof barrier while easily wicking away sweat for water resistance and breathability
.

In addition, through the invisible bonding of glue dots, fabrics can be laminated with less adhesive, thus providing customers with an ideal choice for excellent performance, environmental protection and cost-effectiveness
.

Henkel has also set up an interactive area for intimate apparel and ready-to-wear solutions to visually introduce the bonding applications of Henkel adhesives in various garments
.
In addition, Henkel also demonstrated adhesive solutions with high water repellency and high moisture permeability, IiquidPUR solutions, masks and protective clothing solutions
.
For urban fashion, home leisure, outdoor sports, medical care and other diversified textile application scenarios, Henkel adjusts solutions to accurately decompose production pain points, effectively improve user experience, and drive the continuous progress of the textile and apparel industry
