Thread puller – Snagit – Tear/slide resistance

Snaggings or snagits are thread pullers from the drive on rough contact surfaces. “Anti-snagit finishing” is a high finishing of polyester or polyamide fabrics to prevent thread pulling when the fabric rubs against rough surfaces (e.g. human skin). Polymer rinses are used to strengthen the structure and the fabric of the product is adjusted to make it wearable again using silicones or polyacylene.

Slip resistance describes the strength of a textile seam and can be measured using physical methods. If a seam pulls apart (poor slippage resistance) when worn and stressed, this can also be a chemical problem, regardless of the sewing technique. Especially after the use of silicones to improve the grip, the deterioration of the sliding strength of the seams is often an undesirable side effect. We intervene to correct this with a finish that reduces the slippage of the thread but is so soft overall that the customer does not notice the effect.
