Textile oils have been the result of many tests and proven lubricating service and solubility. The basis of the product is high-quality mineral oil blended with an additive package selected through research and application experience. Texture yarn oil has a high degree of solubility and excellent anti-static properties. Texture yarn oil is formulated with highly refined oils and leaves absolutely no stains on textiles and fabrics and is of extremely high quality. Below are the benefits of Texture thread oil. Can be easily sprayed even in cold environments Exhibits neutral behavior towards paint Stabilizes against drying in the sun Prevents static energy accumulation Provides corrosion protection Keeps needle slots clean Provides longer life of needles and jacks/sinkers

Needles and sinkers constitute an important part of the regularly replaced spare parts of the knitting machine. The life of the needle and sinker is critical to keeping production and operating costs low. To reduce wear and extend needle life, the lubricating oil must be able to form a thin but strong film between the narrow gaps of the sliding contact. Yarn oils are expected to meet the following operating conditions. Maximum wear due to friction occurs during starting and shutting down of the machine, which is considered the emergency operating phase. The additives used in the formulation should help reduce the coefficient of friction to provide emergency lubrication during emergency starts. Operating temperatures of around 75 °C are the standard norm in modern machines due to high operating speeds and smaller clearances. Lubricating oils should not form any residues under these operating temperatures. The central pump inside the circular knitting machine is a precision equipment. Small amounts of metered mesh oil are pumped across the diameter of the cylinder. In this sense, thread oil should not react with the sensitive rubber gasket and plastic pipes in the system. Modern knitting machines are expensive and typically have a high-quality dye. The aesthetic appearance of the machine is indicative of good care and maintenance practices. Knitting oil must remain inert and not react with paint or other machine coatings. Due to the location and arrangement of friction parts, traces of lubricating oil may splash onto the knitted fabric. However, these oil stains should be easily washable and should not affect the painting process.

The special additive package in the Texture thread oil wear protection range increases the productive life of needles and sinkers. Additives help reduce friction during the startup and shutdown phases, where metal-to-metal contact occurs. Longer service life: Texture thread oil series has higher flash points and lower volatile matter loss. This also results in lower consumption per machine per day. Special oils have superior oxidation stability and ensure minimal residue formation even after long-term use. No residue: Texture yarn oil series does not form harmful residues when operating at high speeds or high temperatures. Similar to clean water, additives remain evenly distributed without precipitation even after long-term storage. Does not leave stains: Special Texture thread oil has excellent wipeability and stains formed during operation can be easily washed using normal wetting agents. Non-reactive: Its unique formulation ensures it does not react with machinery paint or coating and is resistant to corrosion. Compatible with electronic actuators, seals and plastic components. Additionally, it is mostly odorless and maintains this feature even with long-term use.

Never apply oil to needles directly from the bottle or can. You should apply texture thread oil carefully with a soft cotton cloth. When lubricating a needle bearing, make sure your needles are in Working Position #1. We need tools to help distribute the oil. Using an old T-Shirt cut into small strips, apply oil to the corner of a small cloth. Be careful not to take too much. You only need enough to saturate a small portion of the fabric. Then, pinch the oily part of the fabric between your fingertips and pass it through the “Heel” part of the needles you chose to knit. Examine the cloth, if there is a lot of black residue when you remove the cloth, repeat this process until the amount of black dirt decreases.
