Work-wear has to be made of flame-resistant materials. That's not only important for a garment's fabric, but also for embroidered logos, designs, and lettering. Poly Fire™ will make these embroideries safe: The polyester thread has a special coating preventing the thread from catching fire easily. Ideal for embroideries on firefighters' uniforms, laboratory coats and other textiles that are exposed to open fire. Processing Recommendations: Needle - Use universal needle ORGAN No. 75/11 SES. Bobbin Thread - Poly Fire™ can be used as bobbin thread or try our fire retardant bobbins. Backing - To ensure a flame-resistant effect, use our fire resistant backing. Important: Flame-resistance tests should be conducted only on completely finished, embroidered work pieces, i.e. both the base fabric and embroidery thread must have undergone a flame-resistance treatment in order to achieve an overall flame-resistant effect.  See Poly Fire™ in action by watching these videos: Poly Fire™ - Specialty Thread   -   Fire Retardant Embroidery Supplies   -   Poly™ Thread Overview

Remember: Lower quality embroidery threads result in frequent thread breaks and lint accumulation. When this occurs this can lead to increased production costs - slowing down your production line, wasting thread and higher machine maintenance expenses.

When It Gets Really Hot...

... workwear has to be made of flame-resistant materials. That’s not only important for a garment’s fabrics, but also for embroidered logos, designs and letterings. POLY FIRE will make these embroideries safe: during the spinning process, a special coating is applied to the polyester fibre, preventing the thread from catching fire easily.

Neither the embroidery process nor wearing or washing will reduce the flame-resistant property of POLY FIRE. Ideal for embroideries on laboratory coats, seats in airplanes, car mats, curtains and other textiles that have to meet the requirements of flame-protection.


Needle:
Use universal needle ORGAN No. 75/11 SES.

Bobbin Thread:
Fil-Tec Fire Resistant NOMEX® (www.gunold.com) POLY FIRE could also be used as bobbin thread.

To ensure a flame-resistant effect also on the inside of garment fabrics, use Gunold's Fire Resistant 6315 backing.
(
do not use non-wovens as embroidery backing.)

Important:
Flame-resistance tests should be conducted only on completely finished, embroidered work pieces, i.e. both the base fabric and embroidery thread must have undergone a flame-resistance treatment in order to achieve an overall flame-resistant effect.
