Polyester offers superior strength and excellent resistance to chemicals, mildew and abrasion. With UV inhibitors built into the yarn, Polyester is the logical choice for outdoor usage.

Eddington applies special sewing finishes to the thread to eliminate burning and breaking at the needle. For tougher sewing situations Eddington’s bond has been a proven performer. Our bond is applied to the thread under extreme heat. This allows the bond to become one with the thread and protects the thread under extreme sewing circumstances leaving the user with perfect looking seams.

Also available is right twist thread for double needle machines, water-repellent finishes, and non-silicone thread favored by the filtration industry. The thread is packaged on a 4 oz, 8 oz, 1 LB, 2 LB, and 4 LB KS or paper cones, braider tubes or pencil tubes.

Effects of Heat:  Sticks at 440° to 445° Fahrenheit. Melts at 483° Fahrenheit.
Effects of Bleaches and Solvents
 Excellent resistance to bleaches and other oxidizing agents. Generally insoluble except in some pheolic compounds.
Effects of Acids and Alkalis
:  Good resistance to most mineral acids. Dissolve with partial decomposition in concentrated solutions of sulphuric acids. Good resistance to weak alkalis. Moderate resistance to strong alkalis at room temperature. Disintegrate in strong alkalis at boil.
Effects of Mildew, Aging, Sunlight & Abrasion
:  Not weakened by mildew, excellent resistance to aging and abrasion. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes some strength loss.
Dyes used
:  Disperse developed and cationic (for some types), with carrier or at high temperatures.
