Compatible with: 287 WH BLUK, 1738 A BLUK, 16X95 BLUK, 71X1 BLUK (CANU 14:20 1 BLUK)

The Schmetz 16X95 BLUK Size 120 industrial sewing machine needles feature the BLUKOLD non-stick Teflon coating, designed to reduce friction, heat build-up, and residue build-up on the needle. This makes them especially effective for sewing sticky or synthetic fabrics such as vinyl, coated textiles, and leather substitutes.

With a standard round point (R), these needles produce clean, precise stitches while preventing material damage. The BLUKOLD surface treatment ensures longer running times, fewer skipped stitches, and reduced thread breakage compared to standard chrome-plated needles. Although this needle variant is no longer manufactured, it remains a trusted option for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Key Features:

• Standard Round Point – Slim, conical shape delivers clean stitch penetration without damaging fabrics.

• BLUKOLD Teflon Coating – Prevents residue adhesion, keeping the needle cleaner for longer.

• Size 120 (NM 120 / Size 19) – Suitable for medium-heavy to heavy fabrics and coated materials.
