Technology

Endless Possibilities

Integrate professional friction management into existing products with our fabric that can be cut to your product’s specific needs. A patch or panel of GlideWear sewn into a location where rubbing may occur reduces the damaging shear & friction forces by up to 80%, allowing you to control where your garment holds to the skin, and where it doesn’t.

Pre-Ply Panels

Pre-ply panels in dimensions of 60”x60”, 60”x30”, and 30”x30” are available to both consumers and professionals. Please contact Tamarack for critical information about how to properly use and sew with GlideWear pre-ply fabric.

Instructions for Use

Instructions for Use

Tamarack has developed specific methods to facilitate cutting and sewing GlideWear with ease. When you receive your GlideWear preply, it will appear to be a single layer, but it is actually two component layers oriented properly and held together with special water soluble adhesive. Without this treatment, GlideWear is very difficult to sew, because one layer is slippery against the other. After cutting and sewing, wash out the adhesive to ‘activate’ the GlideWear.
