Environment-Friendly Yarn Lubricants PERIXEN FDA and PERFILAN TS

As proven specialists in yarn finishing and experienced manufacturers of yarn lubricants, Textilchemie Dr. Petry has focused primarily on the accreditation of our environmentally friendly yarn lubricants. We are pleased to have been awarded a Gold C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ by the C2CPII for PERIXEN FDA and PERFILAN TS. After initial certification in 2019, PERIXEN FDA was successfully recertified this year.

PERIXEN FDA is an eco-friendly yarn lubricant. It can be used for the production of sustainable textiles which meet for example the requirements of Cradle to Cradle Certified®. Furthermore, it complies with the European Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004. In principle, sewing threads and yarns finished with PERIXEN FDA can be used in the food industry. PERIXEN FDA is usually applied at cold temperature by lick roll technique or by precision pump systems.

PERFILAN TS is a water-free, thermostable, silicone-free sewing yarn lubricant for sewing threads made of synthetic fibers. Due to its excellent yarn finishing properties, PERFILAN TS is particularly suitable for lick-roll application of sewing threads for technical applications.

In difference to emulsion-based lubricants, both products, PERFILAN TS and PERIXEN FDA, have the advantage that they are water-free and therefore do not require drying after application.
