Spun thread
In this type of sewing thread, the single yarns consist of individual, short fibres that are twisted together. The raw materials most commonly used for this type of…
Individual quality criteria
In addition to the standard quality criteria, there are a number of product-dependent requirements. This applies in particular to the manufacture of technical textiles.…
Meta-aramid (M-AR)
Meta-aramids are produced by polycondensation and spun using a dry spinning process.
Polyamide (PA)
Polymer formation occurs in PA 6.6 through polycondensation and in PA 6 through polymerisation. The fibre is obtained through the melt spinning process.
Polyester (PES)
Polymer formation takes place through polycondensation. The fibre is obtained through the melt spinning process.
Cotton (CO)
The seed hairs of the cotton plant are processed through various production steps to form a fibre fleece (rovings), which is then spun into a finished yarn.
Wrapped yarn
This is the classic construction for metallic embroidery and sewing threads. A continuous filament core (polyester, polyamide) is wrapped with a band of metallic foil…
Seam abrasion resistance
Seam abrasion resistance describes how well the sewing thread in a seam withstands rubbing and friction during use.
Seam haptics
Seam haptics refers to the tactile perception or feel of a seam. There are objective measurement methods for assessing textile surfaces, but not for seams. Seams are…
