Discover the ultimate in resilience and performance with Bound Tex 90 (V-92) Charcoal Performance Thread. This premium bonded polyester thread is engineered for the most rigorous outdoor and marine environments where durability is paramount. The sophisticated charcoal color offers a modern, professional finish, making it the ideal choice for projects that must withstand harsh elements without compromising on style.

The core of this thread’s capability is its advanced bonding process, which ensures exceptional sewability by preventing fraying and splitting for a consistently smooth feed through your machine. It is specifically designed to combat the elements, providing superior resistance to strength degradation from UV exposure. Additionally, a specialized anti-wicking finish creates a barrier against moisture, preventing it from migrating through stitch holes. This, combined with its natural mildew resistance, makes it perfect for demanding applications like boat upholstery, canvas covers, awnings, and outdoor gear.

Engineered for heavy-duty work, this marine grade thread provides robust security with an average breaking strength of 13.3 lbs. It is the perfect choice for sewing medium to heavy fabrics, including the full range of Sunbrella® materials and other 6- to 10 oz. canvases. To achieve the best results, use a #18 or #20 needle. We specifically recommend a #20 needle for use with the Sailrite® Ultrafeed® Sewing Machine.

Choose this performance thread for your next project to gain the peace of mind that comes from using a product built for longevity. Its uniform diameter and excellent ply lead to a smoother sewing experience with fewer interruptions, allowing you to focus on achieving a durable and polished final product.

Pro Tip: For optimal performance, pull the thread from the top of the cone. This feeding direction adds a slight, beneficial twist that enhances the thread's strength, helps prevent unlaying, and can ease tension for a more uniform stitch.
