A New Standard in PTFE Performance Sewing Thread
Aruvo® sewing thread and pre-wound bobbins are made from premium PTFE fiber (Polytetrafluoroethylene), setting a new benchmark in durability and longevity for sewn seams. Unlike standard threads that break down over time from exposure to sunlight, wind, and harsh outdoor elements, Aruvo PTFE thread retains its strength, flexibility, and vibrant color even after years of UV exposure. Resistant to saltwater, acid rain, and extreme temperatures, Aruvo ensures your seams stay intact and fade-resistant, offering long-lasting, high-performance results without staining or transferring color to surrounding materials.

What is PTFE thread compared to bonded nylon?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) thread is a high-performance sewing thread made from PTFE, a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its extreme durability, chemical resistance, and low friction properties. PTFE thread is more resistant to UV, heat, and chemicals than bonded nylon, making it ideal for outdoor and high-temperature applications, while bonded nylon degrades faster in harsh environments.

What is the Difference Between Aruvo Tex 90 and Aruvo Tex 135?
The key difference between Aruvo Tex 90 and Aruvo Tex 135 is the thickness and strength of the thread. Aruvo Tex 90 is suited for lighter-duty applications, offering flexibility and durability for projects like cushions, upholstery, pillows, umbrellas, light duty awnings, and marine applications.

In contrast, Aruvo Tex 135 is a thicker, stronger thread designed for heavy-duty uses, including large structures and high-stress environments such as shade sails, commercial awnings, heavy and clear vinyls, patio furniture and boat covers.

• Tex 90: Ideal for lighter applications where flexibility and ease of use are essential.
• Tex 135: Best for high-stress applications requiring superior strength and resistance to extreme conditions.

Both threads offer the same high-level PTFE performance, but Tex 135’s increased diameter offers the additional tensile strength needed for projects exposed to extreme stress and heavy wear.
