Embroidery is no longer just decorative; it is now a functional technology
Durak Maxibalance thread supports users’ movement and balance comfort
Durak Tekstil, which shapes the industrial sewing and embroidery thread sector, introduced its latest product, Durak Maxibalance, designed to redefine standards in the textile industry. Developed through intensive R&D efforts, this bio-ceramic embroidery thread enhances movement comfort while supporting bodily balance and physical performance across a wide spectrum of applications, from sportswear to supportive garments.
Evaluating the vision behind the new product, Yiğit Durak, Vice Chairman of the Board at Durak Tekstil, stated: “At the Durak Tekstil R&D Center, our goal was to transcend the traditional decorative purpose of embroidery thread and actively support user comfort. This interdisciplinary endeavor—combining infrared technology with textiles—holds the potential to break new ground in activewear, everyday apparel, and medical/supportive textiles.”
Maxibalance thread delivers balance through bio-ceramics and FAR IR energy
The bio-ceramics integrated into Durak Maxibalance embroidery thread absorb the FAR IR (Far Infrared) energy naturally emitted by the body and reflect it back into the tissues. This process contributes to maintaining body temperature, alleviating muscle soreness, strengthening balance, and boosting athletic performance.
Emphasizing that this thread is not a medical device but rather a functional thread technology, Yiğit Durak continued: “Although improvements in balance and performance vary depending on an individual's physiological structure and the activity performed, we have achieved promising field results when Maxibalance thread is utilized. In addition to its functional properties, our Durak Maxibalance thread reflects our superior quality standards in embroidery performance, process compatibility, and durability. Its light, washing, water, dry rubbing, and perspiration color fastness values successfully meet all required specifications, ensuring long-lasting performance.”
Maxibalance transforms embroidery into a functional element
Added to Durak Tekstil's technical and functional thread portfolio, Maxibalance embroidery thread was engineered for applications where movement comfort is paramount—such as sportswear, activewear, performance textiles, medical textiles, and casual apparel. Thanks to this thread, embroidery applications in textiles evolve beyond decorative and visual accents to acquire functional performance. It has also been observed that textiles embroidered with Maxibalance thread help alleviate muscle soreness that can occur following high-intensity athletic activities.
New partnerships in the global market with Maxibalance
Explaining that their primary goal is to offer the innovative Maxibalance embroidery thread to domestic and international manufacturers in the functional textiles sector, Yiğit Durak concluded: “We are demonstrating substantial growth in the global market driven by our continuously expanding product portfolio and robust regional supply chains. As a trusted brand and partner worldwide, we are excited to introduce game-changing products to the industry. Our goal at Durak is not merely to produce high-quality sewing and embroidery threads, but to bring next-generation functional products to the textile industry and pioneer new applications. With this high-value, innovative product, we will strengthen our competitive edge in the global market while enabling our customers to develop cutting-edge collections.”
