Fusing Problems

Fusing can be simply explained as the systematic process of bonding of fabric pieces. To launch bonding process adhesives are commonly used. Adhesives are synthetic thermoplastic resins. When two fabrics are joining together with adhesives must be proper controlled heat, pressure and time. If have any of the condition unbalance following fusing problems can be seen. If these factors were not applied successfully so then may be occurred following fusing problems.

·        Strike back

In this problem we can see penetration of resin through the interlining substrate.

·        Strike through

In this problem can be seen penetration of resin to the face shell fabric. To eliminate strike through and strike back problems must be proper control heat, pressure ad dwell time.  

                                                                      

·        Differential shrinkage

In this problem can be seen puckering or raveling surface of shell fabric. To reduce this problem both layers must be taken same material.  

·        Delamination

Can be seen bubbled appearance of shell fabric. To eliminate this problem launch proper under fusing and over fusing , correct cooling time and use compatibility of resin and the shell fabric.

·        Colour change

According to higher temperature colour patches can be seen. To eliminate this problem operator must proper control heat levels for different fabrics.

·        Bubbling

Bubbled and puckered area on the face fabric can be seen. To eliminate this problem also launch proper under fusing and over fusing , correct cooling time and use compatibility of resin and the shell fabric.

·        Boardiness

Too much resins and irregular resin placement will be occurred boardiness. To eliminate boardiness operator must apply proper amount of adhesives before start fusing operation.

Apart above physical factors, operator skills also directly affect to control fusing problems.
