Light ball point needle coated with titanium nitride for heavy duty and embroidery sewing.Through a very advanced electro-galvanization process the titanium nitride coating is permanently attached to the needle. This coating increases the wear resistance on the needle. A second advantage to the titanium nitride needle is its anti-adhesion properties. Much like using a non-stick pan for cooking, the titanium needles resist residue form textile products like sticky back stabilizers and spray adhesives from becoming attached to and diminishing the performance of the needle.
