“Special lubricants are required”
Bayav continued as follows: “There are many different applications and equipment in textile production processes, each equipment and application requires different lubricant properties. For example, coning lubricants form a perfect film layer on the yarn, giving excellent anti-static and anti-oxidative properties. Knitting lubricants shouls protect equipment against corrosion for high efficiency; providing longer equipment life, energy savings and easy washing according to need, thus reducing maintenance costs. In addition to the toxicological standards, lubricants produced specifically for the industry must also comply with the REACH Regulation. Special lubricants are needed in the textile industry for this reason.”
