#3044-26 Water Jet WOVEN INTRLINING

Mid-Band Support Without a Boardy Front

Among the water jet interlining articles we hold in stock, 3044-26 is the heavier of the two mid-band constructions: 26 gsm of polyester base under 7 gsm of pure PA. Most of the weight sits in the base and only a moderate layer of adhesive goes on top, which is why a fused coat front keeps a clean chest line and still folds like cloth rather than board. It is the article to reach for when a 30 gsm feels a shade light on a mid-weight shell and a 45 gsm starts to read through a softer face fabric. Nothing about the roll asks the line to change its routine — relax, spread adhesive side up, cut, fuse — and off-white and dyed black are both standard.

33 gsm Against the Neighbouring Articles

The Adhesive Side: 7 gsm of Pure PA

The coating is 100% polyamide at 7 gsm — the same glue loading as the 30 gsm article, laid over a denser 26 gsm base. It is a single evenly applied layer rather than a blend, so what the press meets is the same across the roll width and from one roll to the next. PA wets out quickly under a flat press or a continuous fuser, which is why cycles at this weight stay short, and the bond comes from that wet-out into the base. Push more heat than the shell needs and the glue travels instead, showing as a sheen through a thin face fabric. Breathability survives the bond: air and moisture still pass through the fused panel, so a coat front does not turn clammy across the chest. Blended PA/PES coatings appear higher up the weight range, where the coating itself has to carry structure; at 33 gsm the base does that work and the glue only holds it in place. The base is formed by water jet spunlace, with no binder resin, which is what gives every roll off the water jet interlining factory line its tight, even surface and a clean cut at the edge.

Shell Pairing and Handling Notes

• Stretch shells. Pair this with a matching elastic interlining; on a stretch style the recovery has to come from the interlining, not from the shell.
• Very light or soft shells. Step down to the 30 gsm article rather than pushing the press hotter — extra heat will not add the body the shell cannot take.
• Coated, water-repellent or very smooth shells. Trial-fuse a panel first; these are the surfaces where a bond looks right off the press and lifts after the first wash.
• Non-woven face fabrics. They bond, but the fused hand reads firmer than on a woven shell, so judge it on a sample rather than on the number.
• Roll memory. Let the roll lie flat before spreading; a roll that has stood on end overnight shows up as a wave in the first plies.
• Not a lining fabric. This bonds to the reverse of the shell and sits behind the garment lining, which remains a separate layer.

Setting the Press: A Short Checklist

1. Bring the roll into the fusing room and let it lie flat before spreading — goods straight off a cold container can shrink back after fusing.
2. Find the coated side. The adhesive face carries a fine, regular texture; the base face is smoother.
3. Start from the settings for a polyester base with a PA coating, then adjust for the shell — its weight and density decide dwell and pressure far more than the interlining does.
4. Trial-fuse an offcut of the actual shell, let it cool completely, then pull it apart by hand; a bond that looks sound while warm can lift once it is cold.
5. Reject panels with bubbles, a press shine or a puckered edge — that is heat or pressure, not a faulty roll.
6. Wash one fused sample the way the garment will be laundered, then write the temperature, pressure and dwell against article 3044-26 for repeat runs.

Coat Fronts, Lapels and Cuff Work

• Coat and jacket fronts. The panel that sets the chest line — 33 gsm gives it a clean, flat fall without the stiffness a 45 gsm brings to a mid-weight shell.
• Lapel roll. Enough body to hold the break line, not so much that the lapel reads pressed flat.
• Collar stands and cuffs. The two parts that are turned, pressed and handled most, so a bond that creeps shows up here before anywhere else.
• Front facings and button stands. Narrow, often bias-cut pieces that will not sit flat on their own — and the piece the garment lining is joined to at the front edge.
• Structured blazers and fashion outerwear. Mid-weight shells that need shape across the chest but still have to move with the wearer.
• Sample-room trials. A metre fused to the real shell and washed the way the garment will be washed settles the specification before a bulk run.

Stock, Widths and Order Release

• Stock available; shipped by the container. Repeat orders for 3044-26 are released from stock and loaded by the container rather than waiting on a fresh production run.
• Custom width and grammage. If 60 in (150 cm) or 33 gsm does not suit your cutting plan, we quote a custom water jet interlining at the width and target weight you need.
• One line, several weights. Lighter and heavier articles come off the same water jet interlining factory line, so a programme can move between weights without starting over on the press.
• Order confirmation. Every order is checked against article number, colour and width, so the roll that arrives matches the panel you trialled.

Scale & Supply Capability

We are a manufacturer rather than a trading company: production, quality control and stock sit under one roof, and we supply buyers worldwide — mostly converters, garment producers and trade partners who resell or specify our interlining into their own programmes. Fast-moving articles are kept in stock, so container-level repeat orders can be released without waiting on a fresh production run. Custom grammage, width and private-label packing are available on request, and we will help you match the right article to your shell fabric before you commit to bulk.
