SEWING THREAD, METHOD OF PRODUCING TEAR-RESISTANT CHAIN STITCHES AND THE CHAIN STITCH THUS PRODUCED

摘要

The invention concerns a sewing thread which is particularly suitable for producing chain stitches, preferably for sewing on buttons. The sewing thread proposed is characterized in that it has on its outer surface at least one precursor material for a product which gives, to a stitch produced with such a thread, increased adherence to the material being sewn or increased adherence between individual loops in the stitch, so that chain stitches produced with sewing thread of this kind are virtually impossible to tear open. The sewing thread proposed is particularly suitable for sewing buttons on to textile fabrics. Low-molecular oligomers, for instance, may be used as precursor materials for treatment of the sewing thread, polymerization of these oligomers being completed to give full polymerization.
