Schmetz 16X231 SES BLUK Size 100 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Compatible with: DBX1 SES BLUK, 16X231 SES BLUK, 287 WH SES BLUK, 1738(A) SES BLUK (CANU 14:25EB1 BLUK)

The Schmetz 16X231 SES BLUK Size 100 industrial needles feature a light ball point (SES) tip that slides between fabric threads rather than cutting them, helping to protect delicate fibres in woven and knitted fabrics.

Engineered with the BLUK non-stick coating and a roughened, phosphorated surface, these needles reduce friction, resist adhesive build-up, and minimise residue from melted synthetic materials. This advanced finish ensures cleaner performance, longer needle life, and fewer skipped stitches—making them an excellent choice for synthetics, coated fabrics, vinyls, and technical textiles.

Key Features:

• SES Light Ball Point – Preserves fabric structure by displacing threads without damage.

• BLUK Non-Stick Surface – Resists adhesive and synthetic residue build-up.

• Heavy-Duty Performance – Suitable for thicker woven fabrics, synthetics, and coated textiles.

• Minimised Issues – Reduces skipped stitches, thread breaks, and downtime.

• Universal Fit – Works with DBX1 SES BLUK, 16X231 SES BLUK, 287 WH SES BLUK, and 1738(A) SES BLUK needle systems.
