Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel (Freudenberg), a renowned provider of cutting-edge technical solutions in the apparel industry, is excited to announce the introduction of two advanced thermal insulation products to its global comfortemp® range. DOWN FEEL WA 150LB and FIBERBALL WB 400LB, developed using low-level Bisphenol A (BPA) recycled PET fibres (rPET), exemplify Freudenberg’s dedication to innovation and sustainability.
The addition of these two products to the comfortempⓇ global range offers eco-conscious and high-quality alternatives to down, significantly enhancing the comfort and sustainability of garments. DOWN FEEL WA 150LB is an ultra-lightweight, loose fibre thermal insulation that provides exceptional loft, while FIBERBALL WB 400LB utilizes clusters of ultra-fine fibres to deliver optimal breathability, minimal clumping and maximum comfort.
