Kevlar Sewing Thread, 1 x 50m bobbin reel, Tex-40


This sale is for ONE reel of Kevlar® sewing thread (reel is 50 meters).

Kevlar is a para-aramid fibre made by Du Pont which has remarkable properties, the spun thread is 5 times stronger than steel thread, it does not melt, it is self-extinguishing and will withstand temperatures up to 425° C continuously.

This thread has numerous specialist applications including: Sewing of heat and blast furnace protection wear, fire-fighter clothing, racing car driver clothing, personal protection equipment such as cut and ballistic protection - used in cut protection gloves and bullet-proof vests etc. It also has uses in the media and entertainment sectors where fire is used e.g. fire-juggling equipment etc.

Our thread is not waxed, it is top quality sewing thread, perfect for machine or hand-sewing. It is not suitable for unravelling to produce magician's thread.
The kevlar thread is not shiny (the reel is wrapped in a clear plastic protective cover).

For full specifications of this thread please see the chart on the right. Please note that Kevlar reacts with UV light which will decrease its strength (but not its fire / temperature resistance) over time. It is estimated that 50 to 60 weeks of exposure will result in a loss of strength up to 50%. Para-aramid fibres should therefore be protected against UV-rays. We supply these reels in a sealed black bag to ensure the thread is in pristine condition.

There is a size chart provided on the right. It is impossible to accurately measure the physical width of a twisted thread, therefore the dimensions given opposite are for rough guidance only.

We supply a wide range of kevlar products including woven sheet and webbing (fire wick) as well as a range of Kevlar threads in various thicknesses and in industrial sized cones. The images below are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in this sale.
