Lenzing Profilen PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) thread is a thermoplastic polymer with a very low coefficient of friction along with excellent chemical, temperature and environmental resistant properties.
With Lenzing 100% inherently UV resistant PROFILEN® threads you are always on the safe side!
With a rather low investment compared to the total value of a fabric and installation, you can reduce the risk of a failing sewing thread close to zero.
Lenzing Profilen benefits:
15 year Guarantee
Permanent 100% UV and weather resitance without additives (Total UV- and weather resistance are unique characteristics of PTFE. PTFE will neither rot nor degrade and is resistant to micro-organisms and pests)
High strength: Sewing Thread represents a very small part of the total cost of a fabric - but if the yarn fails, the whole fabric is destroyed.
High light transmission (up to 60%)
Extreme resilience / flexibility - even at low temperatures
Lenzing Profilen® has an operating temperature from -200°C to +260°C.
Easy maintenance: Lenzing Profilen® is resistant to salt, dirt, water and bird droppings ("lotus effect") and is therefore the first choice for sails and awnings.
Lenzing Profilen® cannot burn: LOI (limited oxygen index) higher than 95 %.
Lenzing Profilen® resists abrasion: PTFE has an extremly low coefficient of friction.
