What Is the SC-2013 Woven Fusible Interlining?
The SC-2013 belongs to the woven fusible interlining family — also known in the trade as buckram fabric — which is a tightly woven textile substrate coated on one face with a heat-activated thermoplastic adhesive. Unlike non-woven interlinings that are bonded chemically or thermally from loose fibres, the SC-2013’s woven base delivers superior dimensional stability, tensile strength, and uniformity across the roll width. Accordingly, it stands as the preferred choice for structured garment applications where shape retention remains critical.
At 200 GSM with a hard touch finish, the SC-2013 occupies the mid-to-heavy end of Sadiq Interlinings’ woven range. This specific GSM and finish combination is the industry’s benchmark specification for formal dress shirt collars and stiff cuffs. In fact, these specific areas demand the highest quality because any delamination or bubbling will immediately ruin a finished garment. The construction notation 20×20/60×60 describes a 20-count warp and weft yarn woven at 60 threads per inch in both directions, producing a balanced, tightly interlocked weave structure that distributes stress evenly under fusing press conditions.
The HDPE adhesive coating used on the SC-2013 activates at 160–175°C — the optimal range for bonding to cotton and poly-cotton shirt fabrics without adhesive strike-through. HDPE-based coatings are specifically chosen for garment interlinings because they offer higher bond strength at lower fusing temperatures compared to standard PA (Polyamide) coatings. In addition, they maintain that bond through repeated industrial washing cycles and commercial dry cleaning without delamination. This is a critical quality differentiator that sets Pakistan-manufactured Sadiq SC-2013 apart from cheaper imported alternatives that use lower-grade adhesive powders.

Primary Applications of SC-2013
The SC-2013 is designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of garment manufacturing applications. Its 200 GSM hard touch specification makes it the right choice wherever a firm, structured, shape-retaining interlining is required without reaching into the extreme stiffness territory of buckram grades above 280 GSM.
Formal Shirt Collars (The Core Application)
The most significant application of the SC-2013 is as a shirt collar interlining for formal and semi-formal dress shirts. At 200 GSM hard touch, the SC-2013 provides the rigid backbone that keeps a shirt collar standing upright, holding its shape through a full working day. Given that Pakistan’s garment export industry produces tens of millions of dress shirts annually for markets in the UK, USA, Middle East, and Europe — and collar interlining quality is a non-negotiable element of export-grade shirt production. The SC-2013’s HDPE coating ensures that the collar retains its crispness even after the shirt has been washed and pressed repeatedly.
Dress Shirt Cuffs and Plackets
Beyond the collar, the SC-2013 is widely used for cuff interlining in formal shirts and institutional uniforms. The 200 GSM hard finish delivers the stiff, sharp-edged cuff profile associated with premium shirting. Meanwhile, the HDPE bond ensures that the interlining does not separate from the outer fabric over the lifetime of the garment. Some manufacturers also apply the SC-2013 in placket bands for button-through openings on formal shirts, where controlled stiffness prevents buckling around button holes.
Corporate Uniforms and Institutional Garments
Corporate uniform manufacturers throughout Pakistan — particularly in Lahore, Karachi, Sialkot, and Gujranwala — use the SC-2013 for uniform shirt collars, security guard shirts, airline crew uniforms, and hospitality garments. These applications demand consistent interlining quality across high-volume production runs. Because the SC-2013 is manufactured under ISO-9001 quality management protocols, batch-to-batch GSM consistency is maintained, meaning uniform manufacturers can trust that collar 1 and collar 10,000 will carry identical stiffness and appearance.
Global Export Garment Manufacturing
International buyers sourcing fusible interlining from Pakistan for their own garment manufacturing operations will find the SC-2013 competitive on both price and specification against Chinese alternatives. The 100% cotton base makes it compatible with a wider range of outer shell fabrics than polyester-base interlinings, particularly for natural fibre shirts (100% cotton, cotton-linen blends) where dimensional compatibility under heat and washing is critical. Container-load export orders are handled directly from Sadiq Interlinings’ facility on Sheikhupura Road, Gujranwala.

Why SC-2013 –What Garment Manufacturers Gain
Choosing the wrong interlining costs more than the price of the fabric. Delamination complaints, uneven collar stiffness across a production run, interlining shrinkage that causes collar distortion after washing — these are production defects that reach finished garments and damage your buyer relationships. The SC-2013 is engineered to eliminate these failure modes.
1. Certified Quality That Protects Your Production
Every roll of SC-2013 is produced under ISO-9001:2015 certified quality management and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified processes — meaning no harmful substances, consistent specifications, and traceable quality at every stage. For garment manufacturers supplying to European or North American brands, OEKO-TEX certification on your interlining is often a mandatory supplier requirement. The SC-2013 satisfies it from the point of manufacture in Pakistan, eliminating the need for separate interlining certification by the garment factory.
2. Dimensional Stability Below 1.5% Shrinkage
The SC-2013’s tightly woven 20×20/60×60 construction delivers warp and weft shrinkage consistently below 1.5% after washing. This is the critical specification that determines whether a fused shirt collar stays flat and symmetrical or develops a rippled, distorted appearance after the first laundry cycle. Cotton-based woven interlinings offer superior dimensional stability compared to non-woven alternatives at equivalent GSM levels — and the SC-2013’s tight thread count amplifies this advantage.
3. Hard Touch Finish (The Right Stiffness for Formal Shirting)
Not all hard touch interlinings are the same. The SC-2013’s hard finish is calibrated for formal dress shirt production — firm enough to hold a standing collar profile through a working day, but not so rigid that it creates discomfort or prevents natural collar roll at the fold. If your application requires a softer finish for casual shirts or a stiffer finish for industrial bag linings, Sadiq Interlinings offers a full GSM and finish spectrum from 110 GSM soft touch up to 385 GSM ultra hard — browse our complete Woven Fusible Interlinings range to find your exact specification.
4. HDPE Coating (Bond Strength That Outlasts the Garment)
The SC-2013 uses pure HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) flat coating — a premium coating technology chosen for garment-grade woven interlinings because it produces a stronger, cleaner bond at controlled fusing temperatures compared to PA or LDPE alternatives. The HDPE coating on the SC-2013:
- Activates cleanly between 160°C and 175°C without adhesive bleed-through into the outer fabric
- Withstands industrial washing at temperatures up to 60°C without delamination
- Resists commercial dry cleaning solvents
- Does not re-melt during steam pressing at normal ironing temperatures after initial fusing
- Maintains bond integrity through garment lifetime under normal wear conditions
5. German and Swiss Machinery (Precision Manufacturing)
Sadiq Interlinings produces the SC-2013 on advanced coating and finishing machinery sourced from Germany and Switzerland — the same equipment benchmark used by leading European interlining manufacturers. This machinery enables precise HDPE coating weight control across the full roll width, ensuring that the coating density is uniform from selvedge to selvedge and roll-to-roll. For garment manufacturers, this translates into consistent fusing results across every metre of every batch — eliminating the patchy bonding that is a common complaint with lower-grade interlining from commodity suppliers.
6. Local Manufacturing (Faster Supply, Local Currency, No Import Duty)
For Pakistani garment manufacturers, sourcing interlining from Sadiq Interlinings means zero import duty, local currency transactions, shorter lead times, and direct access to technical support from our sales team in Gujranwala. Chinese interlining alternatives may offer competitive FOB pricing, but after adding import duty, freight, insurance, and a 15–30 day sea freight lead time, the total landed cost and operational risk consistently favour Pakistan-manufactured Sadiq interlinings for local buyers.

How to Fuse the SC-2013 — Technical Guide for Garment Manufacturers
Correct fusing technique is as important as the interlining specification itself. Even the best 200 GSM HDPE interlining will delaminate if the fusing parameters are incorrect. Follow these guidelines for optimal results with the SC-2013:
- Temperature: Set your fusing press at 160°C to 175°C. Below 160°C the HDPE adhesive will not fully activate; above 180°C you risk adhesive bleed-through into the outer fabric.
- Pressure: Apply 3.0 to 3.5 kg/cm². Insufficient pressure produces poor adhesion across the interlining area; excessive pressure can compress the weave structure and alter the hand feel.
- Dwell Time: 15 to 20 seconds. This dwell time allows full adhesive penetration and bonding before the bonded assembly cools under controlled pressure.
- Cooling: Always allow fused panels to cool flat under light pressure before handling. Peeling or folding the fused assembly while hot will distort the bond before it sets.
- Pre-Test: Before committing to full production, conduct a small adhesion test on a sample of your specific outer fabric. Different fabric weights and weave structures may require minor temperature or pressure adjustment within the stated range.
If you need technical guidance beyond this guide, contact our team and we will provide application-specific fusing recommendations for your fabric and garment type.
Frequently Asked Questions — SC-2013 Woven Fusible Interlining
The notation 20×20/60×60 describes the yarn and weave structure of the SC-2013’s cotton base fabric. The first pair, 20×20, refers to the yarn count — 20-count cotton yarn used in both warp and weft directions. The second pair, 60×60, refers to the thread density — 60 threads per inch in both the warp and weft directions. This is a medium-weight tightly woven structure that delivers the balanced strength, dimensional stability, and smooth surface finish required for a high-quality shirt collar interlining.
The SC-2013 is a woven interlining designed for woven outer fabrics such as cotton poplin, poly-cotton broadcloth, and oxford weave shirt fabrics. It is not recommended for stretch, jersey, or knit outer fabrics because the woven structure does not accommodate the dimensional movement of stretch fabrics under wear. For stretch garment applications, Sadiq Interlinings’ Non-Woven Fusible Interlinings range offers better compatibility.
Yes. The SC-2013 is available in both 44-inch and 60-inch roll widths. The 60-inch width gives cutting efficiency advantages for wide-body shirt collar and cuff cutting patterns, reducing fabric waste.
