World’s leading industrial thread and consumer textile crafts business Coats Group plc, is launching Coats Signal thread, an innovative reflective thread. The new thread will be showcased at the Coats’ stand at Texprocess fair which is slated to take place on May 4-7, in Frankfurt, Germany. The especially developed premium thread has a high level of retro-reflectance when illuminated in dark or low visibility conditions.
Rajiv Sharma, Global CEO, Industrial, Coats Group plc said, “At Coats, we understand the production challenges apparel manufacturers can face when using innovative new types of thread. Using that knowledge we have created a unique thread which can withstand the rigours of the sewing process and still retain its reflective functionality in the end product.”
Coats Signal thread is silver and designed primarily for fashion applications so it can be used as an embroidery thread to differentiate products by creating decorative reflective features in logos, stitching patterns and seams.
