Supreme Protector Thread
Changing your mind is easier than
changing your thread. We know - we sew.
You need a good reason to change
thread if everything else is fine. We had a reason to make some changes at
our plant, but we couldn't find the right commercial thread for the job - so we
made it ourselves. If you need long-lasting, durable sewing thread with
extremely high strength, you should try Supreme Protector. It will change
your mind about sewing with high-performance fiber, improve your products, and
probably lower your costs.

We
operate a lot of machines, including the old Class 7's. We hold them back
exclusively for jobs that require extremely strong thread or the penetration of
very thick material. We're are not partial to using the Class 7's because
they
are slow, noisy and difficult to work with.
Experience
has taught us we need Class 7's and 5-cord thread to give us the strength
required for certain jobs. We've experimented with commercial high
performance threads, but always went back to 5- and 6-cord on big machines when
the sewing had to be failsafe. The other threads we tried caused more
problems (or expense) than they were worth. Our armor business gives
us exposure to high performance materials, so we decided to test some thread
concepts of our own. Our hope was to make a better, less costly thread that
would run on our Consew's and Juki's.
We finally developed a thread that
held fast, wouldn't rot, was highly resistant
to UV and was not affected by moisture. It sews well, yet is stronger than
twice the amount of 5-cord thread. The olive webbing shown was sewn with
5-cord; the white webbing used Supreme Protector thread. Both were tested
on an FAA certified load device at over 3,500 pounds. Neither sample
suffered broken thread.
Supreme Protector thread ran in half
the time - with half the thread. And SPT138 will still be there, undamaged
and holding strong, after years of exposure to the elements.
Unbonded
Supreme Protector thread has a breaking strength of
about 80 pounds in size 138. It runs well through a #22 needle.
Suggested retail price
is $135 per pound.
