Flowable insulation from 3M is 80% recycled
Materials developer 3M has announced a new lightweight, high-loft insulation made with 80% recycled content called Thinsulate Flowable Featherless Insulation.
The latest addition to 3M's existing Thinsulate range, Thinsulate Flowable Featherless Insulation has a soft hand feel and, as its name suggests, has been designed to be flowable. This makes the material especially appropriate for use in puffy apparel, according to the company. Suitable for application using a variety of filling machines, the insulation’s high wash durability allows it to maintain thermal performance after laundering.
“We’re quite proud of its flowability”, shared senior application engineer Robert Polik. “And since all apparel is designed differently, the insulation can easily be shaped to fill a garment’s unique quilting channels.”
Learn more about Thinsulate Flowable Featherless Insulation from 3M directly during trade show Performance Days, set to take place in Munich over November 3-4. The developer will be stationed at booth T07.
