Kevlar Sewing Threads

We sell Kevlar sewing threads in both industrial size cones and domestic bobbin sizes and in a variety of widths. Produced exclusively by Material Metrics. These threads are incredibly strong and flame resistant (up to 425°C). They are ideal for sewing kevlar fabrics and wicks for those who need to produce their own specialist equipment etc. These threads are used in racing car driver suits, furnace and blast equipment clothes, fire-fighter protective wear, oven gloves (!) and fire juggling equipment etc. etc. etc.

These threads are suitable for either hand sewing or sewing machines but note that the thicker threads may not be suitable for some domestic machines. They are not waxed and they are not suitable for unravelling to produce magicians’ thread. The higher the Tex number, the thicker the thread. Tex-40 is equivalent to most ‘normal’ thread widths.

Please note that all kevlar products are effected by strong UV light and will lose strength if left exposed to UV for long periods. Kevlar will also degrade rapidly in contact with chlorine so avoid contact with bleach and chlorinated water.
