Aptan AW
Lubricated nylon sewing thread with a special water resistant finish
This sewing thread is a lubricated nylon thread made from pre-stabilized continuous filament nylon 6.6. When the correct sewing tension is used, the transport of water through the needle hole is prevented.
Aptan AW is an ideal thread to use on heavy footwear and outdoor applications such as awning and tent sewing. It has controlled stretch characteristics and a soft, low friction finish, which reduces the effects of needle heat and offers excellent abrasion resistance.
Compared with the typical sewing threads made from polyester, Aptan AW has higher strength and slightly higher elongation properties.
