Schmetz B27 BLUK Size 80 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles (Teflon Coated) – Pack of 10 

The Schmetz B27 BLUK Size 80 (NM 80 / Size 12) industrial sewing machine needles were a specialty design for chainstitch applications.

These needles featured the standard round point (normal "R" point) with a slim, conical tip for precise penetration. What made the BLUK variant unique was its special Teflon-coated surface, designed to prevent the buildup of melted synthetic residues. This innovation helped reduce skipped stitches, minimize thread breakage, and extend needle life compared to standard chrome-coated models.

Although no longer in production, the Schmetz B27 BLUK needles remain sought after by professionals who valued their non-stick properties for handling synthetic fabrics and coated materials.
