GEBEDUR LIGHT BALL POINT "FFG"

Groz Beckert UY128GAS FFG/SES GEBEDUR™ – Light Ball Point Industrial Sewing Needles with Titanium Coating

The UY128GAS FFG/SES GEBEDUR™ from Groz Beckert is a high-performance industrial sewing needle designed for use with double chainstitch (400) and coverstitch (600) sewing machines. This version features the SES (light ball point), also known as FFG, which gently displaces fabric threads rather than piercing them—making it ideal for fine to medium knitwear and woven fabrics.

What makes this needle exceptional is the GEBEDUR™ titanium nitride coating, a patented Groz Beckert innovation. This hard, golden coating dramatically enhances wear resistance in the eye and point areas, ensuring a longer needle life and reduced downtime for replacements. Whether you're sewing jersey, tricot, sweatshirts, or upholstery fabrics, this needle maintains high seam quality even under intensive use.
