High Temperature Sewing Threads
Textile Technologies offer a wide range of high temperature sewing threads suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial and technological applications. Which thread to purchase is a common question and not necessarily an easy one to answer.
Considerations include the temperature of the application, environmental conditions of the application, exposure to ultra violet light, tensile strength required and of course whether the thread will run nicely in your particular sewing machine and through the particular material being sewn.

Does SIZE really matter?
We are, of course, talking about fibre ‘Size’; a thin homogenous surface coating of mainly organic materials applied during the manufacturing process of glass and other fibres / yarns. The manufacturing process is known as ‘Sizing’.

High Silica (SiO2) Content Fibres
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd offer a range of textiles made from a number of fibres which have a high % of SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) within their chemical make up. It is the high percentage of SiO2 that gives these fibres resistance to high or extreme temperatures. Indeed the higher the SiO2 % the higher the temperature rating associated with the fibre (generally speaking) though what the remaining chemical components are, do have importance especially when considering other factors like tensile strength etc.- Eddy Ashworth
