Coats has a long history of pioneering innovation and experience in the apparel and footwear and accessories industry and is a world leader in delivering quality products and technical services. We are pleased to introduce our comprehensive product offer for the safety shoes segment and to highlight the new highly functional and PFC free anti-wicking threads.
Safety Shoes
Safety shoes are designed to provide security and durability, to withstand a daily hostile environment and at the same time to offer comfort and hygiene to their wearers. Coats range of robust sewing threads and zips ensure such footwear is durable, meets high quality standards and is held together with products that provide peace of mind.
Different safety shoe requirements can be met with our range of quality water repellent, anti-static, flame retardant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, acid protection, oil and fuel resistance sewing threads and zips; all these complimented with convenient sourcing, reliable service and technical support, globally.
New PFC Free & Anti-wicking Threads
Previously, for water resistant seams most anti-wicking threads contained some PFCs substances such as perfluorinated carbon (PFC), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). These can have adverse effects to health and the environment and are not biodegradable.
Coats new 100% PFC free anti-wicking threads have the same functionality and meet the highest industry standards for water repellancy. They come with the versatility and superior sewing performance expected from Coats.
