In the “big bag” industry, Lankhorst/Yarns is a leading worldwide supplier of GRIPOLENE® (polypropylene) sewing thread. As an associate member of the EFIBCA (European Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers Association) and U.S. FIBCA, we understand the very specific requirements of the threads used to sew bulk bags with the necessary safety factors. Our thread is designed to optimize both sewing efficiency and seam integrity, achieved through exceptional consistency, high strength, engineered lubrication and energy absorbing capacity. All materials are also FDA-approved. This all results in a reduction of production costs which is a key factor for our customers.

Product Range
GRIPOLENE ® Sewing Thread
Polypropylene single ply Z twisted tape. A high tensile strength of min. 6,0 gr/den with a high elongation of 15% - 18% for a better energy absorption capacity.
Production range: 1300 – 6000 den.

GRIPOLENE ® Conductive Sewing Thread
Polypropylene single ply S twisted conductive tape.
By using conductive sewing thread in combination with conductive fabrics and webbing one increases the overall conductivity of the FIBC to the ground. The use of conductive sewing thread with conductive fabric and webbing reduces the build up of static electricity provided that the FIBC is adequately connected to the ground.
Production range: 5000 and 6000 denier.

MULTIPROF ® Semi Conductive Tape
A polypropylene multilayer semi conductive tape with an electrical resistance <5MΏ/mtr.
The tenacity of the tape is > 3,0 gr/den for utmost efficiency during weaving process. Production range: 1200 dtex (1080 den), 1700 dtex (1530 den) 50 mm width tape
