PERIXEN 176/200

PERIXEN 176/200 is an excellent lubricant for sewing threads and embroidery yarns which is applied by lick roll technique. The lubricant has the advantage of being non-aqueous compared to lubricants on emulsion basis and therefore no drying is necessary after its application. The lubricant provides synthetic yarns with the necessary smoothness and heat resistance. Since PERIXEN 176/200 contains no paraffin waxes the lustre of the yarns is not affected unlike products based on classical oil/wax combinations. This is especially important in case of embroidery yarns. The treated threads have a low friction value. The good gliding properties avoid a stick slip effect. The heat of the needle caused by high speed sewing is transferred to the thread and absorbed by the layer of PERIXEN 176/200. This way sewing even under severe conditions is possible. The adhesion of the product is very good. No abrasion during the sewing process will occur. PERIXEN 176/200 is indifferent to dyestuffs and fibres, a migration of dyestuff will not be created. Yarns finished with PERIXEN 176/200 do not tend to yellowing during storage. The product does not cause any corrosion on machinery.
