Yarn Finishing Improves Gliding Properties: For Smooth Textile Processing

For smooth processing in the textile production, yarns need an optimally adapted yarn finishing which is optimally suited for the different technical requirements. In order to ensure that the yarns and threads meet these high demands during sewing, embroidering, weaving or knitting, our yarn lubricants provide them with good gliding properties plus additionally required features such as soft handle, antistatic or hydrophilic characteristics.

Yarn Finishing for Good Gliding Properties

Thread breakages during yarn processing lead to unintended machine downtimes in textile production. Good lubricants equip the yarns with the required running and gliding properties for further processing in sewing, weaving or knitting. Yarn finishing with our yarn lubricants can improve the friction values. Furthermore, they help to avoid stick-slip effects on sewing and embroidery threads.

Our Lubricants Meet Customer-Specific Requirements

Good gliding properties are the basic requirement for smooth yarn processing in the different processes. Apart from that, customers may define many individual additional specifications for lubricants:

soft handle
preservation of yarn hydrophily
antistatic properties
heat protection for challenging sewing processes
application by exhaust processes (dye bath pre-run procedure or all-in process in the dye bath)
good bath exhaustion even in very soft or very hard water
compatibility with other finishing agents
etc.
