Recommended Applications:
Supreme Protector Thread is recommended for use where exposure to moisture, abrasion, environmental contaminants or cut-hazard would be likely to cause failure in traditional threads of equal size.  It is also recommended for use as a replacement for more costly PTFE thread; for use as a lighter weight substitute for plied or extremely heavy threads (e.g. 5 and 6 cord) requiring specialized sewing equipment (class 7 machines); or for applications where low stretch and high breaking strength are priorities.

A few ounces of Supreme Protector fabric and thread easily replaces pounds of steel. It will wear out a team of Belgian horses, too.
Fire fighters hydrant tool bags carry a heavy load; they get dropped, dragged, thrown, soaked and frozen, too. No problem for Supreme Protector Fabrics & Thread. You can work it hard and put it up wet.
