Fusing is a process of attaching an interlining like polyester or non-woven material to parts of a garment that require stiffness, such as collars, cuffs, and waistbands. It involves applying a thermoplastic resin to the interlining using various coating methods. The resin is activated by heat and pressure during the fusing process to bond the interlining to the garment fabric. Common fusing methods include flat bed presses, continuous fusing machines, and high frequency equipment. Quality control measures include temperature testing and peel strength tests.

2. What is Fusing? It is a process of attaching an interlining, especially to the part of a garment that requires stiffness. Some of the application area of Fusing in a garment are placket, collar, cuff, waistband, men's jacket forefront, etc.

8. Resins The material applied to base cloth and when subjected to heat and pressure, they become the sole bonding agent between Top cloth and Interlining. Thermoplasticity, change with heat, is the basis of fusible interlinings. In cold state, it is not adhesive, when subjected to heat and pressure, melts and creates a bond.

11. Distribution of Resin Inadequate bonding (incorrect) Strike through and strike Back (incorrect) Correct bonding with good Penetration of Adhesive (correct)

14. Coating System The process in which thermoplastic resin is deposited or secured onto the substrate material. It involves the application of carefully selected Particle size fraction of Particular resin being used.
