Anti-wick sewing threads designed for water-resistant apparel using C0 DWR fabrics, helping reduce water ingress where it matters most: the seam.
Aligned with the future of Apparel
The shift towards PFAS-free textile solutions is accelerating, driven by evolving regulations and growing sustainability commitments.
AWF threads are designed to support this transition, delivering high-performance seam protection compatible with today’s PFAS-free DWR technologies.
When fabric repels water, seams must too
Water-resistant fabrics rely on Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finishes to keep moisture out. However, seams remain a critical weak point.
Without the right thread, water can travel through seams via capillary action, allowing moisture to penetrate the garment and compromise performance.
As the industry moves towards more responsible material solutions, ensuring seam integrity is more important than ever.
Engineered to stop water at the seam
Coats Anti-Wick (AWF) threads are engineered to reduce water penetration through seams, helping garments stay drier for longer—even in demanding conditions.
Designed to complement modern water-resistant fabrics, AWF threads combine advanced anti-wick performance with consistent sewability and durability.
