Freudenberg Launches Sustainable Heat Insulation Products

Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel, a leading provider of innovative technical solutions in the apparel sector, has added two advanced thermal insulation products made from low-level Bisphenol A (BPA) recycled PET fibers (rPET) to the global range of comfortemp®, Freudenberg's thermal insulation brand. The launch of DOWN FEEL WA 150LB and FIBERBALL WB 400LB underscores Freudenberg's commitment to innovation and sustainability. The addition of DOWN FEEL WA 150LB and FIBERBALL WB 400LB to the comfortemp® global product range enhances clothing comfort and sustainability by serving as high-quality and ecologically thoughtful alternatives to down feathers. DOWN FEEL WA 150LB is an extremely lightweight, loose-fiber thermal insulation; FIBERBALL WB 400LB uses extra-fine fiber clusters to deliver optimal breathability, maximum comfort and minimal clumping after washing and drying. Both products are manufactured using Freudenberg's advanced technology with 100% GRS-certified rPET fibers and can be customized to desired fill levels. Moreover, these new products not only meet strict OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certifications (the most stringent requirements suitable for babies), but also significantly exceed them. While OEKO-TEX® classifies low-level BPA as less than 100 parts per million (ppm), these new products contain less than 1 ppm BPA as testament to Freudenberg's uncompromising standards. Merry Chen, Head of Global R&D and Product Compliance at Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel, said, "Our commitment to customers and sustainability aligns with market expectations for safer, responsible products while maintaining quality and performance. DOWN FEEL WA 150LB and FIBERBALL WB 400LB exemplify this commitment by delivering innovative thermal insulation that prioritizes performance and customer well-being while expanding our Sustainability Home."
