Sewing threads for safety belts

Whether we’re talking a lap belt in an aircraft or a three-point belt in a car, safety belts compensate for centrifugal forces. They keep people in their seats in the event of an impact, protecting them from life- hreatening injuries. In an emergency, these belts must be able to withstand extreme loads of up to 1.5 tonnes of tensile force. In addition to tear resistance and a certain elasticity, durability and light fastness also play an important role in the sewing threads for safety belts.
