[PCP, Florida] Originally a registered trademark developed in conjunction by Freudenberg Nonwovens and Pellon in 1950. This early interfacing was a nonwoven fabric made from nylon (75%) with Cotton and Rayon fibers bonded with a synthetic rubber. By 1997, production had shifted to primarily Polyester. Pellon® interfacing is sold as both a fusible and nonfusible interfacing to maintain shape in quilts, collars, cuffs, waistbands, and belts. Additionally the company sells numerous other products including tapes, foams, batting and hobby kits.
