The best way to know the different types of sewing thread and their
applications is to check with a reputable manufacturer like Coats. We apply the
latest technologies to make high-quality and innovative products that can add
value to our customer’s manufacturing process. Here are some of our products:
1. Coats Brio
Made for sewing machines, Brio is a lubricated polyester thread
with pre-stabilized, continuous, high-tenacity filament to withstand high-speed
sewing. It’s versatile for heavy materials, too, including welts, soles, moccasins,
leather goods, and jeans.
2. Coats Dual Duty
Our premium quality corespun jean thread features
a natural cotton cover and a high-tenacity polyester filament core. Thus, it
performs well in the most demanding sewing applications.
3. Coats Gral Multicolour
We injection-dyed Gral Multicolour polyester with up to six
various colours to create an attractive thread for making eye-catching
stitches. With good abrasion resistance, Gral creates strong seams in severe
sewing operations.
4. Coats Tre Cerchi Cotton
Made with long-staple mercerised cotton, Tre Cerchi cotton
thread produces attractive lustrous seams for general sewing. It provides the
natural look of cotton threads, even for making custom embroidery designs.
5. Coats Pyrostar
Designed for military applications, Pyrostar offers permanent
flame and heat protection up to 371 degrees Celsius. It’s a 100% long-staple
spun meta-aramid thread for flame-retardant embroidery, too.
6. Coats Firefly
Pyrostar is another 100% meta-aramid sewing thread that can
withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for protective wear for military
and firefighters.
7. Coats Flame Master
This polyester core spun flame-resistant sewing thread features
a special finish for outstanding permanent flame protection. We offer this in
an extensive range of shades.
8. Coats Epic
Epic is our all-rounder polyester corespun sewing thread for
many applications and fabrics, including silks and high-tech performance
materials. It’s also a great jean thread that
delivers outstanding stitch formation and attractive seams.
9. Coats Nylbond
We use pre-stabilized continuous filament nylon 6.6 for Nylbond,
so it cuts clean without ply separation. Plus, it offers excellent abrasion
resistance, durability, and strength to prevent flaking, sewn-in colour change,
and ply untwisting.
10. Coats Admiral
This 100% cotton thread is carefully treated under tension to increase
strength and lustre. It’s for specialised applications requiring biodegradable
and natural threads, like food filters, shirts, and post-dyed garments.
11. Coats Aptan
Made for nylon fabrics and garment dye programs, this lubricated
pre-stabilized continuous filament nylon 6.6 sewing thread provides a
low-friction and soft finish to minimise abrasion and needle heat. It also
offers controlled stretch for firm, balanced, tight stitches and good loop
formation.
12. Coats Aptan AW
We added a special water-resistant finish to Coats Aptan to
prevent the capillary effect. As such, the thread doesn’t take up water and can
be useful for outdoor applications and heavy footwear.
13. Coats Aptan for Apparel
Like the original Coats Aptan, this version is ideal for nylon
fabrics in wearable garments. Moreover, it’s a great jean thread for
stretch denim.
14. Coats Aquamelt
Our 100% water-soluble thread easily dissolves with warm water,
making it ideal for temporary stitching for denim, footwear, woven apparel, and
knitted garments.
15. Coats Astra
Our top-of-the-line staple-spun 100% polyester sewing thread is
an excellent alternative to conventional SSP threads. It offers better sewing
performance for higher productivity and reduced machine downtime. We also carry
different versions of this thread, including Rugged, RD, and EcoVerde.
16. Coats Atlantis
Atlantis is a new-generation braided liquid crystal polymer with
outstanding load-bearing characteristics and flex fatigue resistance. That
makes it suitable for demanding military and aerospace applications.
17. Coats Dymax
We made this fit-for-purpose mercerised cotton thread for thread
dyeing end-use. Whether mercerised 100% cotton or untreated fabrics, Dymax
ensures the best colour results with high lustre and a smooth surface for
beautiful seams.
18. Coats EcoCycle
EcoCycle is our water-dissolvable thread that keeps up with the
challenges of garment recycling. It dissolves at 95 degrees Celsius on a
30-minute wash cycle, and once it does, garments are easier to pull apart as it
simplifies the removal of labels, buttons, and zips for end-of-life recycling.
19. Coats EcoRegen
EcoRegen is a 100% lyocell thread from sustainably sourced wood
pulp, making it eco-friendly and fully biodegradable. We offer this in six
sizes to suit various applications, like knitwear, T-shirts, athleisure garments,
underwear, workwear, and post-dyed garments.
20. Coats Eloflex
Eloflex makes secure, soft-stretch seams on next-to-skin
garments and performance sportswear. Its controlled elongation reduces seam
extension failure when used on stretch fabrics.
21. Coats Classic
Classic is ideal for hand-sewing leather goods, moccasins, and
soles. As a high-tenacity waxed polyester braid thread, it's also practical for
difficult, hard, and thick materials used on belts, furniture upholstery,
saddles, nautical articles, and suitcases.
