FR Sewing Threads | 100% Meta-Aramid
(0 Certificates)
Flame Retardant – Sewing Threads
XM-60 is a high-tenacity sewing thread spun from 100% meta-aramid staple fiber. The 30S/3 three-ply construction delivers the seam strength, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability required for protective workwear that must survive repeated industrial laundering and high-temperature exposure.[show_more more="Show more" less="Show less" color="#629e11" align="left" ]Meta-aramid’s flame-retardant property comes from the polymer itself, so the thread will not melt or drip and its FR performance is permanent — well-suited to pairing with both inherent FR fabrics and durable FR-treated fabrics across the XM Fireline range. Tested and certified XM-60 30S/3 has been independently tested by AITEX (Spanish Textile Research Institute, ENAC-accredited laboratory) against the sewing thread requirement of EN 61482-2:2020 — the European standard for protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc.
Test method: EN ISO 3146:2000 Method B (Differential Scanning Calorimetry per EN ISO 11357-3:2018) Pass criterion: No melting at 260 °C ± 5 °C
XM-60 result: No melting observed across the full test range up to 300 °C
Report reference: AITEX 2025EP0638 (issued 28 February 2025)
This certifies XM-60 as suitable for use in structural seams of arc-flash protective clothing built to EN 61482-2:2020, and confirms its thermal stability for use in garments certified to EN ISO 11612 (heat & flame), EN ISO 11611 (welding), EN 469 (firefighter clothing) and NFPA 2112 / NFPA 70E systems. XM-60 also holds OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, verifying it is free from harmful substances and safe for prolonged skin contact.Key performance
Does not melt — verified to 300°C in DSC testing Char temperature ≈ 400°C, decomposition above 425°C (typical of meta-aramid) Inherently flame retardant — FR performance is permanent and laundry-stable Compatible with all major FR fabric systems: meta-aramid, para-aramid, FR cotton (inherent and treated), FR cotton/nylon, modacrylic blends and PBITypical applications
Structural seams in:
- arc-flash suits and coveralls for utility and electrical workers
- firefighter station- and structural-wear
- oil, gas and petrochemical FR coveralls
- welder’s clothing
- military combat uniforms
- molten-metal aprons and foundry PPE.[/show_more]

Sewing accessories are the components a garment factory needs besides the shell fabric: sewing thread, zippers and seam-sealing tape. XM Textiles supplies flame-retardant and standard sewing threads, nylon and Vislon zippers, and PVC/PU seam-sealing tape, sized to match XM FireLine and XM SilverLine fabrics so the finished garment holds together as well as it protects.
- FR Threads – meta-aramid sewing thread (80–100% meta-aramid) for garments built to EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611, EN 469 and arc-flash EN 61482-2; will not melt or drip.
- non-FR Threads – 100% polyester sewing thread for workwear and general garments where flame resistance is not required.
- Zippers – nylon-coil and Vislon zippers, 16–72 cm, closed-end and open-end (separating), for pockets through full jacket fronts.
- Seam Sealing tapes – PVC/PU waterproof tape for taped seams on rainwear and technical outerwear.
All items are sold in bulk to garment manufacturers, ex-stock in our Romania, Poland and Portugal warehouses. Request a quote for volume pricing.
