  • Coated sewing thread
    Patent number: 6828023
    Abstract: Processes for coating sewing thread using a radiation curable composition and the resultant coated sewing thread. Sewing thread is coated with a radiation curable composition, which exhibits a self sustaining cure after exposure to radiation. The composition is applied using contact coating techniques to coat and impregnate the thread with resin. The coated thread is then exposed to radiation to cure the coating. Because the cure is self sustaining, the composition more fully and completely reacts to form a coating with increased durability and reduced susceptibility to stripping or flaking during use in demanding industrial applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2004
    Assignee: Coats American, Inc.
