At ISPO Munich 2018, Freudenberg will be presenting the eco version of the comfortemp fiberball padding, the world’s first padding made from fiber balls. Made from 80% recycled fibers, comfortemp fiberball eco is a sustainable, high-performance padding and is ideal for sportswear. The remaining 20% of the padding is made up of binder components that are essential for making a coherent structure such as padding.

“As the first sustainable padding made from fiberballs, comfortemp fiberball eco combines the benefits of padding and down,” explains Ulrich Scherbel, general manager Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel.

Manufactured without the use of chemicals, comfortemp fiberball eco is ideal for use in sports garments as well as the fashion sector. It offers optimal breathability, is super soft and fluffy and there’s no fiber migration; the padding maintains its position in the garment and does not clump. Comfortemp fiberball eco also has good elastic recovery; it can be easily compressed and quickly returns to its normal volume.
