DPX17 Needle #110/18 PD Titanium 10PK
The DPx17PD (or 135x17 PD) is a heavy-duty industrial sewing machine needle featuring a specialized titanium nitride coating for "Perfect Durability". It is the titanium-reinforced version of the standard DPx17 needle, designed to last up to five times longer than conventional chrome-plated needles by reducing heat buildup and wear.
Technical Features and Benefits
The "PD" designation stands for Perfect Durability, a finish primarily used by the Organ brand to enhance needle performance in demanding environments.
Titanium Coating: The extremely hard titanium nitride layer protects the needle point from damage and wear.
Reduced Heat and Friction: This coating helps the needle stay cooler at high speeds, which prevents thread breakage and material damage.
Improved Accuracy: The reinforcement results in less needle deflection, leading to fewer skipped stitches and more precise seam formation.
Physical Specs: It has a round shank with a diameter of 2.00 mm and a length (butt to eye) of 38.9 mm.
