class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls

class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sewing thread looks like a minor detail. In practice it decides whether a seam holds and whether a production line keeps running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AMANN range covers more than 70 products. At first sight that is a lot. It becomes manageable the moment you see that every single product is described by the same four facts \u2014 and always in the same order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This nugget gives you the map. After working through it you can place any AMANN product, name the family that fits a customer requirement, and explain your choice in one sentence. No prior technical knowledge is needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The four questions behind every product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Which raw material?<\/strong><br>The basic behaviour of the thread: strength, heat resistance, elasticity, appearance, ecological profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Which construction?<\/strong><br>How the fibres are put together. The strongest single influence on how the thread sews and how the seam looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Which properties result?<\/strong><br>Seam strength, abrasion resistance, sheen, softness, bulk, UV and chemical resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. For which application?<\/strong><br>The segment and the seam type the product was developed for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fifth dimension is size. Within a family, the ticket range tells you which thicknesses are available. Material, construction and properties define what the thread is; the ticket number defines how thick it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four facts about the company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Founded in 1854 \u2014 more than 170 years of thread manufacturing. Many customers have used the same product family for decades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Six application segments: Apparel \u00b7 Automotive \u00b7 Shoes &amp; Accessories \u00b7 Embroidery \u00b7 Home Interior \u00b7 Techtex &amp; Speciality. The segment is the fastest way to narrow the range down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than 70 products in the public product overview \u2014 wide, but not arbitrary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;AMANN. Beyond Threads.&#8221; Customers buy the product and the technical support behind it. Portfolio knowledge is the part of that promise you deliver personally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 The raw material decides the basic behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Polyester (PES)<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>the workhorse<\/em><br>High strength, dimensionally stable, good light and chemical resistance, low moisture uptake. In Serafil, Saba, Sabatex, Serabond, Isacord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Polyamide (PA 6.6)<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>the tough one<\/em><br>Highest abrasion resistance and elasticity; takes peak loads without breaking. In Onyx, Strongbond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cotton (CO)<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>the natural fibre<\/em><br>Matt, heat-resistant in the seam, takes garment dyeing well, biodegradable. In Lifecycle Cotton and in the core-spun classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PTT \/ biopolymer<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>the elastic one<\/em><br>Highest elongation \u2014 a stretch reserve for elastic materials. In Sabaflex, made with 37 % biopolymers from renewable resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>High-performance fibres<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>the specialists<\/em><br>Aramid, PTFE, PEEK, basalt, Dyneema\u00ae, silver-coated hybrids \u2014 for heat, cut and chemical resistance or conductivity. In the &#8220;-tech&#8221; range, Silver-tech, Xtreme-tech, GORE TENARA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Rule of thumb: polyester for almost everything, polyamide where the seam is under mechanical stress, cotton where the article is dyed after making-up, and a specialty fibre only where a normal thread would fail.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 The construction decides how it sews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The construction is the field directly under the raw material on every product page. It explains why two threads made from the same polymer behave completely differently. All eight constructions are covered in LN 019; these five you will meet every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spun<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>staple fibres, twisted<\/em><br>Matt, textile look, soft hand.

These eleven families cover all six segments and every main construction. Everything else is either a variant of them or a specialty thread for a defined technical problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Saba<\/strong> &nbsp;|&nbsp; <em>polyester\/polyester \u00b7 core spun \u00b7 Tkt 8\u2013180<\/em><br>The all-rounder.
