{"title":"Automotive Threads","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTechnical threads for car interiors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThreads for the automotive industry work in some of the toughest conditions any textile seam faces. Seats, steering wheels, dashboards, door panels and armrests are used daily for years and endure abrasion, tension, sunlight and wide temperature swings. That is why technical threads with high strength, UV resistance and stable colour are used here. Polkom, a manufacturer and wholesaler of garment accessories, supplies technical threads wholesale to car interior manufacturers, upholstery workshops and custom trimmers for cars, motorcycles and boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypes of automotive thread\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePolyamide (nylon) threads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtremely strong and elastic, with high abrasion resistance. Bonded polyamide threads have a coating that binds the filaments together, reduces needle friction and prevents fraying when sewing thick leather and faux leather. They are used for heavily loaded seams in seats and upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePolyester threads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolyester is more UV-resistant than polyamide and keeps its colour during long exposure to sunlight. That is why it is preferred for visible seams on dashboards, upper door panels, convertible roofs and exterior parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUV-stabilised and specially treated threads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor parts exposed to strong light and high temperatures, threads with additional anti-ageing and anti-fade treatment are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThicknesses and decorative stitching\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCar interiors use both medium threads for structural seams and heavy threads for visible decorative stitching – single, double or French seams on seats and steering wheels. A heavy decorative seam in a contrasting colour is a recognisable feature of sporty and luxury interiors. The choice of thickness depends on the material, the machine and the visual effect you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ecar seats and upholstery;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003esteering wheels, gear knobs and armrests;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003edashboards and interior door panels;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ebus, truck and camper van interiors;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003emotorcycle seats and boat upholstery.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColours\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides classic black, grey and beige tones, we offer contrasting colours for decorative stitching – red, orange, yellow, blue and more.
