- Product Highlights
Synthetic esters are used in the textile industry to lubricate and protect both fibers and machinery. Fibers move through textile processing equipment at very high speeds, creating friction and heat that causes wear of stationary parts and degradation of the fibers. A good lubricant will reduce heat, friction and wear on high speed spindles and bearings, allowing the machines to run faster with less down time due to fiber breaks and snags.
Synthetic ester lubricants will not have negative impact on the color, look or feel of clothing, carpet or other textiles. They can be easily removed by washing or baking, leaving no residue that can impact dyeing or post-processing. A textile lubricant should not stain the fiber or form varnish on the machine.
A variety of esters are used in the textile industry to address the many different types of fibers and mechanical operations. Zschimmer & Schwarz has a long history of providing components for both neat esters and spin finish emulsions for the textile industry, and can recommend the appropirate solution for any type of fiber lubricant application.
