Sewing thread construction
Not all sewing threads are the same, because every sewing application requires the appropriate raw material in combination with the appropriate sewing thread construction. For this reason, there are different sewing thread technologies – every sewing application requires the use of a suitable sewing thread.
The most important sewing thread constructions at a glance:
Micro Core Technology® (MCT)
The Micro Core Technology® manufacturing process developed by Gütermann cannot be compared with any existing sewing thread construction. It is the first core spun technology based on microfilament polyester for threads of the highest quality with optimum process reliability. The result: extremely even and smooth sewing with an exceptionally fine thread cross-section and a silk-like sheen. The textile surface character of our MCT threads is formed by loops, so-called micro-loops. MCT threads also have a high mechanical strength and are absolutely reliable on automatic sewing machines.
