The specially formulated PFC-free anti-wick finish inhibits the capillary effect, thereby ensuring that no water is taken up by the thread. This leading development is one of the many positive actions taken by Coats to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and safety.
Aptan AWF is an ideal thread to use on heavy footwear and outdoor applications such as awning and tent sewing. It has controlled stretch characteristics and a soft, low friction finish, which reduces the effects of needle heat and offers excellent abrasion resistance.
Compared with the typical apparel sewing threads made from polyester, Aptan AWF has higher strength and slightly higher elongation properties.
