Polypropylene (PP) thread from Mahalaxmi Threads is engineered for industrial sewing and packaging operations that demand a balance of strength, moisture resistance, chemical stability, and lightweight performance. Made from high-tenacity polypropylene multifilament yarn, this thread delivers dependable seam integrity and smooth sewing performance across a wide range of applications, especially in bag closing, woven sacks, and industrial packaging environments.
Polypropylene thread is inherently hydrophobic and absorbs virtually no water, making it an excellent choice for sewing products exposed to moisture, humidity, or damp conditions. This low moisture uptake also prevents swelling, distortion, and mildew growth, outcomes that can compromise seam quality over time.
Compared to other synthetic threads, PP thread delivers lightweight yet reliable strength with excellent abrasion, UV and chemical resistance, enabling manufacturers to achieve secure and reliable seams on both portable and high-speed machines.
| Tkt | Tex No. | Construction (Ply/Ne) | Breaking Strength (Kg) | Elongation Range (%) | Recommended Needles (NM) |
| 180 | 16 | 150*1 | 0.60 | 20 – 34 | 70 – 80 |
| 110 | 24 | 198*1 | 0.90 | 25 – 30 | 80 – 90 |
| 90 | 35 | 300*1 | 1.20 | 20 – 34 | 90 – 110 |
| 50 | 50 | 150*3 | 1.80 | 25 – 30 | 80 – 110 |
| 35 | 60 | 150*4 | 2.40 | 25 – 30 | 110 – 130 |
High tensile strength and seam security: Crafted from high-tenacity polypropylene multifilament yarn, this thread delivers strong seams that stand up to handling, transport and stacking in industrial and packaging applications.
Polypropylene’s low density provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio — particularly valuable in sewn bags and textiles where weight reduction improves efficiency and cost savings.
Virtually no moisture absorption prevents seam distortion, keeps sewing consistent, and guards against mold, mildew and weakening in humid or damp environments.
PP threads maintain integrity when exposed to rough surfaces and sunlight, making them suitable for outdoor bags, woven sacks, and bulk packaging.
Uniform twisting and multifilament structure allow consistent feeding on portable, semi-automatic, and high-speed industrial sewing machines.
Polypropylene is resistant to a wide range of industrial chemicals and solvents, ensuring seam durability even when sewn goods come in contact with acids or alkalis.
Polypropylene sewing thread is engineered for industrial assembly and packaging processes where seam strength, environmental resistance, and efficiency are critical.
