Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel, a prominent player in the apparel industry's technical solutions segment, is introducing two cutting-edge thermal insulation products, DOWN FEEL WA 150LB and FIBERBALL WB 400LB, under their comfortemp brand. What sets these products apart is their use of low-level Bisphenol A (BPA) recycled PET fibers (rPET), emphasizing Freudenberg's dedication to innovation and sustainability.
These new additions to the comfortemp range offer eco-conscious and high-quality alternatives to traditional down insulation, elevating both comfort and environmental responsibility. DOWN FEEL WA 150LB is an ultra-light, loose fiber insulation with exceptional loft, while FIBERBALL WB 400LB uses clusters of fine fibers for optimal breathability and minimal clumping after washing, ensuring lasting comfort.
What sets these products apart is their commitment to eco-friendliness. They are crafted from 100% GRS-certified rPET fibers and exceed OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Class I certifications, which are the most stringent, suitable even for babies. Notably, these products contain less than 1 ppm BPA, showcasing Freudenberg's commitment to unwavering quality standards.
Merry Chen, Head of Global R&D and Product Compliance at Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel, stressed their dedication to sustainability, ensuring safer, responsible products that prioritize quality and performance. The products not only exemplify their commitment but are part of the House of Sustainability (HoS) initiative, offering innovative solutions for a more sustainable apparel industry.
In addition to DOWN FEEL WA 150LB and FIBERBALL WB 400LB, Freudenberg introduces HO 80xR to their European comfortemp range, showcasing their environmental commitment and circular design principles, with 70% recycled polyamide fibers. These innovations are set to make waves globally and support a more sustainable future in the apparel industry.
