Trade show visitors will experience a wide range of innovative and sustainable interlinings for active sports outfits, stretch interlinings for yoga wear, Pilates & Co, and thermal insulations that combine perfect outdoor wearing comfort with high warmth retention. With Comfortemp brand thermal insulations and the Active Range, Freudenberg presents a complete package for outdoor and sportswear for winter sports: thermal insulations, interlinings, tapes, lining fabrics, and adhesive solutions, according to a press release by Freudenberg.

The product highlights include Comfortemp Protect HO 15x GRS, the highly durable padding that provides good warmth retention as well as high wearing comfort and withstands 25 cycles of industrial laundering. With a fibre content of at least 20 per cent recycled PET bottles, Comfortemp pProtect HO 15x is certified according to the Global Recycling Standard (GRS).

Made from 100 per cent recyclable polyamide fibres (PA 6), Comfortemp Soft HO 80x carries the Gold Level Health certificate, which stands for unlimited recyclability for a continuous and consistent circular economy.

The independent jury has nominated the 100 per cent biodegradable thermal insulation Comfortemp Nature Lyocell HO 60x, made from Lyocell regenerated fibres, for the ISPO Textrends Award fall/winter 2024/25 season. The award is given exclusively to innovative products that are ground-breaking for the development of the textile industry. Comfortemp Nature Lyocell HO 60x has a variety of performance characteristics such as high warmth retention, bacteria inhibiting and fast drying, and water repelling. High wearing comfort and the assurance of a perfect moisture balance characterise the volume fleece as ideal for application in sportswear.
