Strength – a small part with a huge impact

The seam of a product indicates its quality and reliability because if the seam does not hold, even the best fabric is useless. This is why it makes sense to invest in high-quality sewing thread for high quality products. Profilen® PTFE sewing thread is available in a wide range of sizes to suit your needs.

Profilen® PTFE sewing thread is suitable for the production of outdoor textiles (shade sails, awnings, umbrellas, marine tops and covers, etc.)

Sewing threads are generally very sensitive to UV radiation, which means that they quickly lose their tear resistance. Profilen® PTFE sewing thread, on the other hand, is UV-stable and retains its strength, even under the intense sun in Australia.

  • Profilen® yarn is completely weather resistant: Total UV and weather resistance are unique properties of PTFE. PTFE does not rot or erode, and it is resistant to micro-organisms and pests.
  • Simple care: Profilen® is resistant to salt and bird droppings, and is therefore the first choice for shade sails, awnings, marine tops and covers and other high end fabric projects.
  • Profilen® does not burn: LOI (Limited Oxygen Index) higher than 95%.
  • Chemically inert, so no weakening of its strength
