Industrial yarns

Cittadini spa produces a wide range of braids and ropes from 0,4 up to 40 mm of diameter, made with all the synthetic fibers: nylon, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, Dyneema®, Kevlar®, polysteel and with natural fibers (like cotton) too.

The braids are a kind of article that can be customized to the specific needs of the customers: in fact they can be produced as single braid version, with or without core,or as double braid; also the kind (“round” “square” or “flat”), texture (“smooth” or “raised”), colors and the stiffness can be varied according to the request.

Twisted ropes are other very flexible products: they can be used in fishing, sport, agriculture, yachting, industrial, technical and fashion applications. Usually the ropes are produced in 3 or 4 strands version, with different synthetic or natural materials and diameters according to the characteristics requested by the customers.

Along with the normal braid and ropes Cittadini spa can also provide ultra-high performances items, made with the most advanced materials like Dyneema®, Kevlar®, suitable for safety, sports or industrial applications. It is also possible to apply special treatments and coating that increase their already exceptional breaking strength and create a more compact and durable article.

Cittadini spa can also deliver many different types of laces, usually made in cotton or polyester material, that can be used in footwear sector (for example shoe-laces for classical or sport shoes) or in industrial or fashion applications. They are available in many sizes, length, colors and finishing as per customer demand.

Cittadini spa manufactures a complete range of industrial sewing threads, twisted, braided, air-jet or draw-texturised, using different raw materials like high tenacity polyester or nylon, polypropylene, cotton and poly-cotton, recycled and ultra high performance yarns.

These sewing threads have aparticular finishing depending on the specific application: they are available raw or dyed, lubricated, bonded, waxed and semi waxed in several make-ups.

All these articles are available in many standard colors as stock service and an internal dyeing department permits to reproduce also customers’ colors and apply special requested finishings.

Among the sewing threads production range we have:

• Tenaxfil PE: an high technology polyester HT sewing thread, ennobled by the particular “STS treatment”, which confers it an extraordinary gliding performance, developing firmness and resistance and, at the same time, improving the dimensional stability ideal to sew over all type of fabric.
• Tenaxfil PA is the version available in nylon HT, that permits a superior abrasion and fatigue resistance on the sew.
• Tenaxfil Green PE – the most innovative eco-sustainable sewing thread, made from recycled, GRS 4.0-certified high-tenacity polyester yarn, with a focus on a circular, regenerative, zero-waste economy. It is available raw and dyed for all applications, both fashion and technical, to meet the specific creative and performance needs of customers.
• Tenaxfil PP: an high tenacity polypropylene sewing thread suitable for filters or food application.
• Tenaxfil BioExtreme, is the most innovative sewing thread made by Cittadini spa with Dyneema® Biobased fiber, the new bio-based Dyneema® fiber, the first ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMPE), which improves sustainability in the fibers for the highest and performing performances.
• Zephir: the classic polyester texturized sewing thread. Its main features are great softness, good elasticity and high bulkiness, which confer it great covering power.
• Magis: Semiwaxed braid used in all machines to sew moccasins, flat and box soles. The special structure and the calibrated waxing grant a smooth gliding, preventing seam slippage and soiling of machine;
• Best: Waxed braid suitable for all kind of hand-sewing. Normally used on classic moccasins and on “sail” shoes, it can be used also for ornamental applications. Excellent for performances in different employ conditions: a particular waxing confers to the product an excellent smoothness without residuals on the material, fraying and breaking, assuring good tight of seams and preventing fastening knots slippage.

"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.

Cittadini spa has been a leader in the production of every kind of Nets for industry, fashion, fishing, aquaculture, agriculture, sports and building sectors for 90 years.

The complete range of Nets are here briefly listed:

• Nets for automotive: seats and trunk nets, dyed according to the customer needs
• Nets for fishing: Knot and knotless nets available in various counts, mesh size, raw and custom dyed. The nets are made by monofilament, multifilament, twisted or braided High Tenacity Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene, Polyethylene yarns.
• Nets for aquaculture: Knotted and knotless Nylon, Polyester, Polyethylene and Dyneema® nets, available in different counts, mesh size and shape (diamond, square or hexagonal), thermofixed, strecthed and resin coated .
• Nets for fashion: Knotless and Knotted nets available in different thicknesses and mesh sizes, dyed in trend or in customers colors, printed or personalized with logos of the Maison, treated with special finishing on demand. They are a veryflexible and versatilefabric ideal for both elegant andtechnical/sporting applications,for dress and fashion accessories (bags, sandals, belts, etc.).
• Safety Nets: knotted or knotless anti-fall and protection nets, made in Nylon or Polypropylene HT yarns to prevent or protect persons and thing from falling;
• Nets for agriculture: every kind of nets used for agriculture, breeding or horticulture: olive picking, windbreak, anti-hail, anti-birds, shading nets; covering and aviary nets
• Nets for Industry and Building: anti-dust and scaffolding nets, shading, cargo and lorry nets; Raschel knitted technical fabrics; double needled and spacer fabrics, tubular and elastic nets;
• Nets for sport: Soccer, tennis, volleyball, hockey, archery etc; playground and fencing nets

Thanks to its internal dye-house and finishing processing lines, Cittadini spa has developed an extraordinary color know how and can apply special final treatments to all its nets.
