Coats launches thread products for athletic footwear

02/04/2013
Industrial thread business Coats is rolling out new products targeted at the sportswear industry including a thread suitable for athletic footwear.
 
Eloflex thread is high in elasticity and tenacity, making it suitable for seams with high points of strain. The thread’s high-stretch properties, strength and durability reduce the risk of seams splitting and tearing. 

The company has also launched a range of zips with an auto-lock clip-down slider and puller, eliminating the problem of dangling zip pullers that can cause irritation during exercise. 

Frazer Smith, chief commercial officer at Coats, said: "Both products demonstrate our continued dedication to responding to our customers’ needs and our commitment to pioneering invention."
