Textile Machine Lubricants

OILTECH TX NEEDLE OILS

OILTECH TX lubricants are unique mixtures of carefully selected base oils, lubricity and anti-wear additives, load bearing and friction reducing agents, corrosion protectives, anti-oxidants, colour stabilisers, anti-gumming and anti-gelling agents and cleaning solvents. In addition, some of the OILTECH TX products also contain anti-static agents and pro-scouring surfactants for easy removal from fabric prior to dying.

OILTECH TX products are produced in a broad range of viscosities and cost/ performance variations, to suit the entire range of knitting machines.

Outstanding Wear Protection -
OILTECH TX Lubricants exhibit high load carrying and wear protection properties compared to other products available in the market. These features help to keep needle and machine wear low under all load and speed conditions, resulting in long needle life and minimisation of "black streak" metallic staining of fabric.

Exceptional Stability -
OILTECH TX lubricants are stable in extended storage, resist aging due to oxidation and ultra violet exposure, and are thermally stable to prevent gumming in machines, yellowing in unfinished fabric and reduced scourability.

OILTECH TX lubricants have been evaluated for thermal and oxidation stability, show outstanding performance results compared to competitor lubricants and are continually being tested for long term anti-discolouration properties in evolving yarn combinations, to keep pace with industry trends.

Clean Running -
In addition to being resistant to gumming and lint build up, several lubricants in the OILTECH TX range actually help to clean dirty and gummy machines previously operated on inferior products.

Superior Scourability -
OILTECH TX scourable oils are available in a range of scourability performance from "scourable" to "super scourability". This enables you to make a cost/ performance choice, depending on the type of yarn being knitted and the scouring regime being employed.

Low Energy Consumption -
Machines operating on OILTECH TX lubricants typically consume less power compared to operation on competitor lubricants of equivalent viscosity, which equates to direct cost savings.

Corrosion Protection -
OILTECH TX lubricants contain powerful corrosion protectives to protect machine surfaces from rust formation, especially in humid operating environments.
