Brief Overview
Knitting oils are specially formulated for the latest machines in operation in the industry. Various aspects required by the industry include non-corrosiveness, non-fuming, non-clogging, non-splashing, shear stability, non-yellowing, high temperature stability etc.
Manufacturing Process
Knitting Oils are manufactured from a combination of high quality HVI solvent-extracted dual hydrogenated paraffinic base oils which have good lubricity, good oxidation stability and give good protection against rust.
Textile Industry
Knitting oil is used in knitting machines where the needles move at very high speeds. Lubricity is essential to cool the needles and to increase its service life. It is a non-staining and washable lubricant and recommended for needle lubrication of high speed knitting machine.
