3M™ Nextel™ GT-23 Sewing Thread Supplier & Exporter in India
Premium 3M™ Nextel™ GT-23 Sewing Thread
Marshall Packings & Insulations Industries is a trusted supplier and exporter of 3M™ Nextel™ GT-23 Sewing Thread, a premium high-temperature sewing thread designed for industrial applications requiring excellent heat resistance, durability, and reliable sewing performance.
Unlike Nextel™ ceramic sewing threads, 3M™ GT-23 Sewing Thread is manufactured from continuous high-temperature glass fiber coated with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). The PTFE coating provides low-friction sewing, excellent abrasion resistance, and improved thread handling while maintaining strength in elevated-temperature environments. GT-23 is ideal for stitching thermal insulation blankets, removable insulation jackets, expansion joints, industrial fabrics, heat shields, and high-temperature textile assemblies used in power generation, industrial furnaces, petrochemical plants, foundries, and other demanding industrial applications. According to 3M, GT-23 is a special-order product.
3M™ Nextel™ GT-23 Sewing Thread provides a combination of high-temperature performance, abrasion resistance, flexibility, and low-friction sewing characteristics. Its continuous glass fiber construction with PTFE coating supports reliable stitching of high-temperature insulation textiles and industrial fabric assemblies.
The PTFE-coated surface improves thread handling and reduces friction during sewing, helping to provide consistent seam performance and durability. GT-23 is suitable for industrial sewing applications involving thermal insulation blankets, removable insulation jackets, expansion joints, heat shields, and other high-temperature textile products.
