SAFE TECH - THE NEW FAMILY OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE YARN

Description

"SAFE TECH” is the name of the new line of high-performance technical yarns specifically designed by Cittadini spa to meet the new and always more sophisticated needs in the field of advanced technical textiles and sewing of protective clothing equipment.

"SAFE TECH" family is composed by:

TENAXFIL EXTREME, made with Dyneema® fiber, provides an incredible specific tenacity which allows to reach tensile strengths which are impossible to match with other synthetic yarns. Another important aspect of TENAXFIL EXTREME is its resistance to UV, weathering, acids in general and mildew. In high humidity ambient or sea operation situation it is the perfect solution to maintain optimal performance expectations in terms of retention of tensile strength and fiber integrity.

TENAXFIL FIRE STOP is a para-aramidic fiber sewing thread, which responds to the need to complete the protection of people who wear flame resistant fabrics, ensuring protection from fire and heat conditions. TENAXFIL FIRE STOP has a very high thermal resistance while ensuring at the same time exceptional tensile strength to the breaking and strain. Therefore, due to its intrinsic characteristics, FIRE STOP is an auto-extinguishing sewing thread able to offer simultaneously a good abrasion and cut resistance. It is available in various counts, in both continuous or spun thread.

TENAXFIL FIRE STOP+ is a meta-aramidic fiber sewing thread; thanks to its particular construction and the material used, it allows to fulfill in the best way the needs of fire resistance and sewability of the yarn. It ensures a good thermal protection and allows, by virtue of his elasticity, top seam performance, while maintaining a good mechanical strength. FIRE STOP+ allows also the color customization, according to the substrate to be used.

TENAXFIL ANTISTATIC is the antistatic HT sewing thread developed by Cittadini spa for the safety clothes making-up industry. TENAXFIL ANTISTATIC allows to create a conductor link also in the seams, which is rather impossible with a normal sewing thread.

TENAXBOND PES is a HT polyester bonded yarn, specifically designed to offer a better resistance to UV and abrasion than regular HT PES yarn. It is able to sew on the most resistant materials and it delivers a special softness and smoothness thanks to the “STS SILK” finishing and the special bonding treatment.
