Schmetz 16X95 BLUK Size 140 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

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

The Schmetz 16X95 BLUK Size 140 industrial sewing machine needles are built with a BLUKOLD Teflon non-stick coating, making them ideal for sewing coated fabrics, synthetics, vinyl, and sticky materials that normally cause friction or residue build-up. This coating helps the needle stay cleaner longer, prevents thread breakage, and minimises skipped stitches during production.

With a standard round point (R), these needles penetrate cleanly without damaging fabric, while the extra-large Size 140 (NM 140 / Size 22) makes them suitable for very heavy fabrics and coated textiles. Though no longer manufactured, BLUKOLD-coated needles remain trusted for professional industrial sewing applications.

Key Features:

• Standard Round Point – Slim, conical shape ensures clean stitch penetration.

• BLUKOLD Teflon Coating – Prevents adhesive build-up from sticky or synthetic materials.

• Size 140 (NM 140 / Size 22) – Designed for very heavy fabrics, vinyl, and coated textiles.

• Reduced Heat & Friction – Extends needle life and ensures consistent stitch quality.

• Industrial Durability – High-performance design for professional lockstitch machines.
