The anti-wick PFC-free threads for apparel end-use are offered in the Coats polyester thread brands Epic and Gral.
This leading development is one of the many positive actions taken by Coats to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and safety. The threads have a PFC-free anti-wick finish which prevents the capillary action of water transportation through the thread in the seam.
Coats anti-wick PFC-free threads are the very best thread choice for no-compromise, premium water-resistant outdoor wear. Coats EcoVerde Epic AWF (100% recycled polyester corespun) is being launched in the standard thread sizes and put-up lengths. The fibres on the surface of the thread help to ‘lock’ the thread in the seam, limiting thread movement and helping to prevent runback.
