Strong thread is only useful when it sews consistently
Nylbond is made from pre-stabilised continuous filament Nylon 6.6. Coats combines that high tenacity foundation with proprietary bonding and lubrication to support reliable sewing in demanding production environments.
Abrasion resistance
Built for seams that face rubbing, flexing and wear in the finished product.
Stable stitch formation
Controlled stretch and good loop formation support tight, firm and balanced stitches.
Heat-managed sewing
A specially formulated lubricant supports smooth movement through the needle eye at production speed.
Made for demanding sewn products
Durability for leather, upholstery, footwear and luggage
Ticket 40 steps up to a heavier Tex 70 construction for bolder seam definition and higher strength than Nylbond 60. It is a strong choice when ordinary apparel thread or a finer bonded thread does not provide enough substance, abrasion resistance or seam durability.
High tenacity Nylon 6.6
Provides the strength and resilience required for hard-working sewn goods.
Proprietary bond chemistry
Helps prevent ply untwisting and flaking while preserving a consistent seam appearance.
OEKO-TEX certified
Coats states that Nylbond is certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, Product Class I.
