Ascolite® TF Thermo-Fusible
Ascolite® TF-Yarn has been specially developed for button shank wrapping. TF-yarn has the following advantages compared to normal sewing yarn:
Elastic core
The elastic core of the yarn allows such a tight wrapping under Tension, that the main sewing threads are clamped together and cannot get loose again.
Thermo-fusible outer layer:
The thermo-fusible layer bonds the wrapping threads together and does not leave loose ends.
Fastness
Ascolite® TF yarn has been tested several times by internationally recognized institutes (Hohenstein Institut, SGS, Underwriters Laboratories, etc.) and is certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, REACH Standards and M&S-Quality standards.
Ascolite® is ecologically safe; free from toxic substances, resisting to light, ironing, rubbing and washing proof up to at least 60 ° C as well as resistant to chemical cleaning, even surviving tunnel finisher up to 140 ° C.
Ascolite® stands for the finest quality of button shank wrapping. A button secured with Ascolite® TF or SF remains tight and impeccable even after years of wearing and washing. Unsolvable thanks to heat-setting.
