Different types of available interlinings

Interlining can be divided into different types according to the following types:

a) According to the basic fabric structure, Interlinings can be divided into three types

Woven lining

Knitted lining and

Non woven fabric lining

b) According to the main points of application, the lining is classified into three types

Not fusible or fusible

1. Woven lining

Mainly woven linings were used 100 years ago to strengthen / support coats, cloaks, gowns or hats. It is mainly 100% cotton fabric, hardened by starch application and not fusible. However, the unpleasant hard hand and irregular characteristics of the washing process lead to the formation of fusible lining.

The ordinary cotton fabric is coated with a layer of adhesive, which can be fixed on the shell fabric by heating or pressing. This forms a composite part of the molten shell part and supports the shell, thus having better drape and appearance.

The woven lining is mainly 100% cotton with variable linear density depending on the weight or stiffness required for a particular application. Now, poly cotton blends can also be used to overcome the shrinkage of cotton fabrics with various warp and weft combinations such as rayon, expanded polyester and wool.

Advantages of braided lining the main advantages of braided lining are strength and stability, so it can be used in all such applications requiring strength and stability, such as waistbands.

However, this can be detrimental when flexibility and a soft feel are required.

Weaving is mainly plain weave, and sometimes crepe, herringbone or twill weave can be provided according to the application needs.

In this case, the use of expanded multi ply yarn can make the melt composite have full body feeling, soft and natural handle or drapability, and obtain the strength, flexibility and portability of the melt laminated material, without greatly changing the natural drapability or quality of the shell fabric.

However, woven fabrics are expensive and not suitable for less expensive casual wear. Therefore, according to different uses, they are replaced by knitted fabrics, which use the combination of rayon and rayon and wool for body and volume.

2. Knitted lining

Knitted fabrics properly solve the main disadvantages of weaving, namely flexibility, lightness and soft handle. Knitted fabrics have a variety of changes in coil structure to give flexibility / elasticity and strength / stability together with the body (volume).

By using fine bulky (textured) filaments, they maintain the lightweight and soft feel of the laminate. It's expensive, so it can be used in high-value clothing, such as suit coats and haute couture tops.

3. Non woven fabric lining

As the name suggests, there is no yarn used to interweave fabrics.

It is made directly from the fiber to the fabric stage, thus reducing the cost of the base fabric. Because there is no yarn used to make nonwovens, it lacks the strength required for clothing use, and there are many technologies used to give nonwovens the strength required, called bonding. They are the most versatile products, from 10gsm to 200GSM or higher, offering lightweight, soft, flexible or rugged products for any application people think of. The basic manufacturing technology is mainly to use synthetic fibers to form a layer and give strength through bonding.
