Lenzing PTFE Profilen

The weakest part of shade sails, canvas and awnings is always the stitch. UV light attacks conventional sewing thread and reduces its tenacity over time. 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.

With Lenzing 100% inherently UV resistant Lenzing PROFILEN® threads you are always on the safe side! A range of different threads for different sewing applications is available.

• 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.
• Versatile useable: Lenzing Profilen® has an operating temperature from -200°C to +260°C and is weather resistant. This gives security and flexibility for the geographical use.
• Easy maintenance: Lenzing Profilen® is resistant to salt and bird droppings 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.
• Lenzing Profilen® products are weather resistant: Total UV- and weather resistance are unique characteristics of PTFE. PTFE will neither rot nor degrade and is resistant to micro-organisms and pests.
