Is Tenara® sewing thread used to sew garments made with GORE-TEX® fabric?
No. Tenara® sewing thread is designed for use in outdoor canvas products. It makes sense because the outdoor products are outside and exposed to the environment all the time. Garments are only outside some of the time. PTFE’s inherent chemical resistance insures it will not rot or mildew and prevents deterioration due to cleaning solutions, motor oils, and other destructive substances. More importantly PTFE is unaffected by ultraviolet radiation and will not degrade from continuous sun exposure. Products sewn with Tenara® sewing thread will not require restitching every few years!
