Schmetz 16X231 SES BLUK Size 90 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 90 industrial sewing needles feature a light ball point (SES) tip, designed to gently move fabric threads aside without cutting them. This makes them particularly effective for woven and knitted fabrics, protecting the fabric structure while producing smooth, durable seams.

Enhanced with the BLUK non-stick coating and a roughened, phosphorated surface, these needles resist the build-up of melted synthetic residues. This helps keep the needle cleaner for longer, minimising skipped stitches, thread breakage, and downtime—making them ideal for synthetics, coated materials, and sticky fabrics.

Key Features:

• SES Light Ball Point – Protects woven and knitted fabrics from damage.

• BLUK Non-Stick Coating – Prevents build-up of adhesives and melted synthetics.

• Medium to Heavy Fabric Use – Perfect for synthetics, coated textiles, and blends.

• Cleaner Needle, Fewer Issues – Reduces 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.
