Ascolite® – The inventor and market leader of thermofused button shank wrapping
50 years of Ascolite Button Security. Saved billions of buttons of risking from falling off!
Loose buttons and button loss are a widespread problem causing unnecessary nuisance.
Ascolite is the solution!
The Ascolite® system
Our unique Ascolite® button security system is the combination of a button-shank wrapping machine (BSS Models 8, 13, 15 or TwinHead) with the special elastic "Ascolite® -TF" thermo-fusible yarn.
The sewing thread with which the button is sewn on the fabric is wrapped tightly with our high-elastic thermofusible yarn under great tension and thereby clamped in so it cannot unravel anymore.
Then the wrapping is heat-sealed, resulting in a flexible, permanently secured, easy-to-button and perfect-looking button shank.
Quality
Ascolite® stands for the finest of button shank wrapping. Button shanks wrapped with the Ascolite® system remain tight and look immaculous, unsolvable thanks to heat-sealing. Therefore button loss is prevented for the lifetime of the garment.
Ascolite®TF-yarn is ecological and free of toxins, certified according to Oekotex standard 100, appendix 4, product section 1 for baby articles, complying REACH standards, M&S- and Hugo Boss- quality-standards.
It withstands all kinds of washing cycles up to 60°C as well as ironing, rubbing and dry cleaning and even tunnel finisher-treatment up to 140°C without any visible impact.
