The Schmetz 16X231 SES BLUK Size 80 industrial sewing needles feature an SES light ball point, designed to gently displace fabric threads rather than cutting through them. This makes them ideal for woven and knitted fabrics, ensuring smooth seams while preventing fabric damage.

With their BLUK non-stick coating and special roughened, phosphorated surface, these needles significantly reduce the adhesion of melted synthetic residues. The result is a cleaner needle, fewer skipped stitches, and reduced thread breakage—ideal for working with synthetics, coated fabrics, and sticky materials.

Key Features:

• SES Light Ball Point – Protects woven and knitted fabrics by displacing threads.

• BLUK Non-Stick Coating – Prevents adhesive and synthetic build-up on the needle.

• Smooth Sewing on Difficult Materials – Perfect for synthetics, coated textiles, and sticky fabrics.

• Durable & Reliable – Minimises skipped stitches and thread breakage.

• Industrial Lockstitch Compatible – Works with DBX1 SES BLUK, 16X231 SES BLUK, 287 WH SES BLUK, and 1738(A) SES BLUK systems.
