Application Area

Underwear & Adhesive Silicone

Silicone systems for bra, shapewear, and technical underwear production that provide flexibility, skin compatibility, and strong surface adhesion. Solutions that deliver comfort and durability together.

  • Soft-touch formulation suitable for skin contact
  • High elastic recovery and crack resistance
  • Systems compatible with polyester, elastane, and blended fabrics

Underwear & Adhesive Use Cases

In applications that require skin contact, flexibility, and comfort, controlled flow, strong adhesion, and a soft touch feel are decisive properties of the silicone system.

Underwear Bonding Applications

For bras, shapewear, and technical underwear products, flexible, soft, and skin-compatible bonding solutions are developed.

Elastic Band & Edge Fixation

For elastic bands, seamless edges, and shape retention applications, systems that do not crack and provide elastic recovery are preferred.

Soft Touch & Comfort Layer

Comfort-oriented solutions are delivered with soft-textured silicone systems that do not cause discomfort on skin contact and provide controlled flow.

Key Performance Criteria in Underwear Applications

Performance in underwear and skin-contact products is directly related to silicone flexibility, adhesion capability, and comfort feel.

Softness & Soft Touch

A structure that does not cause discomfort on skin contact and provides a flexible, natural touch feel is targeted.

Surface Adhesion

Strong bonding between fabric layers minimizes peeling and edge lifting.

Flexibility & Elastic Recovery

High elasticity that prevents shape loss is important for bras, activewear, and stretch fabrics.

Wash Resistance

Maintaining performance under repeated washing and use is a key factor for product lifetime.

How to Choose Underwear Silicone?

Even the same underwear application can show different silicone behavior depending on fabric structure, layer combination, and usage scenario. Therefore, we clarify the selection process with critical technical parameters.

Fabric Type

Surface energy and adhesion can differ on cotton, microfiber, polyester, or elastane-containing fabrics.

Layer Structure

The number of bonded layers and the surface type affect viscosity and curing behavior.

Usage Scenario

Elastic recovery plays a critical role in sports, daily use, or products that require high stretch.

Washing & Durability Expectations

An appropriate formulation should be selected to maintain performance under repeated washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled the most frequently asked technical topics about underwear and adhesive silicones. For a more specific request, you can leave details via the contact form.

What should be considered when choosing silicone for skin-contact applications?

The targeted comfort feel (soft touch), elasticity, and adhesion should be evaluated together. Performance validation with samples/trials under your application conditions is recommended.

How is soft touch performance achieved?

The formulation’s texture profile, curing parameters, and layer thickness directly affect the soft touch feel. With the right process, a more natural and comfortable contact is targeted.

Why does edge lifting occur in bonding applications?

Edge lifting may occur when fabric type, surface preparation, suitable viscosity, and curing window are not set correctly. Adhesion can be strengthened with primer/support process recommendations according to the application.

How can silicone performance be maintained on stretch fabrics (elastane, etc.)?

Systems with high elastic recovery should be selected, and the layer structure should be designed according to the fabric’s stretch behavior. With correct curing, the risk of cracking and shape loss is reduced.

What are the critical points for wash resistance?

Curing temperature/time, layer thickness, fabric compatibility, and the right formulation determine wash resistance. Validation with repeated wash tests before mass production is recommended.
