For over 30 years, GORE® has been a leader in the manufacturing of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers, with a proven reputation for quality. We’re excited to introduce a new version of GORE® TENARA® sewing thread for marine applications, which is optimized for high-speed sewing.
This exceptional, 3-ply ePTFE thread offers a simple switch from polyester or competitive PTFE threads, requiring little to no machine adjustments. Simply put it on your machine, and you’re ready to roll! High-elongation gives this thread better stretch characteristics that make sewing easy. Soft and flexible, it sews like polyester.
Designed for durability and made with strong thermoplastic polymers, TENARA offers the break strength of 2000 denier threads while yielding 7% more thread per spool. TENARA seams are guaranteed to outlast the fabric they’re sewn into; with excellent UV and weather resistance, this thread doesn’t deteriorate in sun, salt water, wind, or water, making it a great option for sails, covers, cushions, upholstery, awnings, and more.
And if you’re looking to get the best bang for your buck, you’ve come to the right product. While many threads are sold by the pound, TENARA is sold by the spool, and it can take 1.2-1.3 pounds of other threads to achieve the same yield as a 1-pound spool of TENARA.
1⁄2-pound and 1-pound spools are available in black, natural white, and clear and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty which covers labor. If you’d like to try a sample, please contact your local sales representative, visit trivantage.com, or call us at 800.786.1876.
