Delta Threads

polyester-cotton
thread with reemission

Delta threads are specialistic threads with a continuous polyester core in a cotton braid, possessing reemission throughout the wavelength range λ = 400-1100 nm in accordance with Military Standard NO-84-A203/A1:2010 Military Clothing and Equipment Items – Spectral characteristics of colors – Requirements and test methods.

The thread colors comply with approved color standards used in production for military purposes, as described in the Defense Standard, which specifies CIELab color coordinates and permissible color differences relative to the current standard.

For the production of military clothing and equipment items, we also recommend using other threads such as Polico (polyester-cotton), Ester (polyester-polyester), and Arena (cut polyester).
