Thread Selection for Flame Resistant Protective ClothingTHREAD SELECTION FOR FLAME RESISTANT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

This booklet is a compilation of information that we believe to be valuable for both manufacturers and purchasers of FR textile products. The objective of this guide is to offer you information about the sewing threads that are currently available for use in manufacturing FR protective clothing and equipment. Of particular importance is how these threads perform during the manufacturing of FR protective clothing products, and also how well they perform under actual field conditions. When safety can "hang by a thread" it's imperative to have the best. Contact us for a copy.

This illustrated guide was developed to help mechanics better understand how to solve the different challenges they face when using flame resistant (FR) sewing thread in mattress manufacturing. It includes discussion of the following:

  • Why is CRAQ-SPUN® para-aramid sewing thread the better choice for production and performance?
  • Will FR Sewing Thread Affect Stitch Formation and Sewing Efficiency?
  • How Will FR Sewing Thread Affect Equipment, Productivity, Quotas, Operating Efficiency, and Quality?
  • Manufacturing Quality Defects
  • How Can Fire Barriers Affect Stitching?
