Sewfree is a thermoplastic adhesive film designed to replace stitching in garment manufacturing. This film can be used in wide widths for cutting patterns, or can be used in tape form for continuous bonding operations. Depending on the application, ultrasonic, RF, laser, fusing presses and hot air sealing machines can be used to apply the film. There are many advantages to bonding a seam. The most important features are low profile, waterproof seams.

New High Recovery TPU Elastomers

Good fit can be described as a garment's ability to stretch & recover in response to the body's movement. Stretch & recovery is the key performance feature requested by designers, brands and manufacturers alike. While bonded garment technology is here to stay, innovation continues to evolve. In response to the industry's quest for improved stretch and recovery and the Bemis commitment to innovation, we developed a new line of TPU elastomers. We arrived at a truly unique solution for stretch & recovery for intimate apparel applications through the use of new chemistries, advanced research and realistic test methods. Our High Recovery TPU Elastomers are designed to eliminate the need for elastics used in bra wings and in panty waist and leg openings.
These new tapes offer the best recovery while still maintaining the sleek, smooth aesthetics of a Sewfree seam, band or hem. In addition to the design benefits, careful attention to the manufacturing methods and fabrics used in making intimate garments was given. These High Recovery TPU Elastomers satisfy both the need for enhanced designs, better performance and the need for greater flexibility in manufacturing.
