Which feature describes Fusible Interlacing?

• A. Dry-sealed, thermoset coating
• B. UV-curable resin coating
• C. No coating
• D. Heat sealable, thermoplastic adhesive coating

Answer: (D)

Fusible interlacing relies on a heat-activated, thermoplastic adhesive coating. When you apply heat and pressure (like with an iron), this coating softens and bonds to the fabric, creating a sturdy, attached layer without sewing. That is what makes it “fusible” — the adhesive melts and fuses to the fabric to provide shape and support.

This sets it apart from coatings that cure by drying or chemical means (which don’t melt under typical ironing temperatures), UV-curable coatings (which need light to cure rather than heat to bond), or no coating at all (which wouldn’t have an adhesive to attach to the fabric).
