Gore Tenara Sewing Thread

GORE® TENARA® Sewing Thread is a long-lasting thread which enhances the life of the outdoor and marine products in which it is used. Where seam life and integrity are of the utmost importance, Tenara® sewing thread leads the way.

GORE® are best known for their Gore-Tex® fabrics, but their technologies and fluropolymer expertise are also unsurpassed in many other applications. One such use is their expanded Polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) Tenara® sewing thread.

Conventional seam threads on boat covers, awnings, garden structures, outdoor furniture and all other outdoor products suffer from exposure to the elements of UV radiation, salt water, industrial pollutants, acid rain, dirt, cleaning chemicals etc and after a short period of time they will deteriorate in colour, become brittle and break.  GORE® TENARA® thread is guaranteed to last for the life of the fabric. It maintains the strength of the seam even under the harshest outdoor conditions. It does not deteriorate, burst or break, despite years of exposure to weather, extreme temperature or chemicals.

GORE® TENARA® thread is unaffected by sunlight, weatherproof, easy to clean, colours will not fade and comes with a 15 year guarantee.
