Water Repellent
WR thread is produced with a special water-repellent finish, which ensures that no water is absorbed by the thread. It has excellent resistance to the capillary effect, thus reducing the passage of water through the needle hole and seam.
WR can be used in a wide range of Gunzetal thread products, including MITON, Nukor, Kore.g, Zabre, FLEXO classic, VELON, VORTON.
To ensure optimum performance WR thread should be used at the correct sewing tension with a water-repellent fabric.
Please contact Gunzetal Technical Support team for advice on the optimal stitch type and density.
