LIGHT BALL POINT SES "BLUK"

Schmetz DBx1 SES BLUK Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Light Ball Point – Non-Stick Coated – Pack of 10

Designed for exceptional stitch quality on synthetic and sticky materials, the Schmetz DBx1 SES BLUK (also known as 16x231 SES BLUK) needles feature a non-stick, Teflon-like surface that resists residue buildup from melted synthetic fibres. This special coating reduces skipped stitches and thread breaks, making them ideal for production environments where material friction is a constant challenge.

These industrial needles feature the SES (Light Ball Point) tip, which gently displaces knit and woven threads without piercing them—minimising damage while delivering strong, clean stitches. These needles are still highly sought after for specialist sewing needs.
