Process Oils

Special process oils for Textile Industry

Fatliquors, oils applied as aqueous emulsions to leather while it is still wet from tanning, are available in a variety of ionic and anionic forms. Fatliquors soften leather by preventing the formation of adhesions between fibers during drying. Recent research on the effects of fatliquors on the fibrous structure and resultant physical properties of leather has concluded that the concentration of fatliquor applied was more important to the outcome than the type of fatliquor. In addition, the sound‐suppressing effect of fat in leather under test conditions supports acoustic emission testing as a way to monitor the degree of lubrication, and potentially optimize fatliquor usage.

Antistatic textile process oil

Antistatic textile process oils (commonly called coning oils or spin finishes) are specially formulated lubricants used in synthetic yarn production (polyester, nylon, acrylic) to dissipate static electricity. They reduce friction, prevent yarn breakage, improve machine performance at high speeds, and ensure uniform, non-staining lubrication, typically applied at 1.5–5% of the yarn weight.

Molylub Anti-static coning lubricants are a type of lubricant used in texturizing processes to reduce the effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is the fast flow of electric current between two objects having opposite electric potentials, which can damage electronic components, ignite flammable liquids, and cause other difficulties. Anti-static fluids contain substances that reduce the accumulation of static electricity on the work during texturizing operations like as spinning, knitting, and so on. These additives can help to reduce ESD, minimising the risk of equipment and material damage.

Molylub Anti-static cutting oils are widely used in industries where electrostatic discharge is a problem, such as the manufacture of electronic components, polymers, and other sensitive materials. They are also used in dangerous scenarios involving flammable liquids, because ESD may ignite these liquids and cause fires or explosions. While utilising anti-static cutting fluids, it is vital to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and appropriate safety precautions. Proper grounding of equipment and the use of adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) can also help to reduce ESD threat.

Molylub Antistatic Coning Oil has the Following Applications:

Lubrication: Antistatic coning oil is used to lubricate spinning machine spindles and bobbins, reducing friction and wear on the machine’s moving parts.

Anti-static properties: The oil contains chemicals that help dissipate static energy that might build up during the spinning process. This reduces the possibility of yarn and machine damage while also boosting product quality.

Machine Performance: Antistatic coning oil can improve spinning machine performance by reducing downtime and increasing production.

Household cleaners: Because of the non-ionic surfactants employed in the formulation, antistatic coning oil is utilised in household cleansers like as white and coloured phenyls to produce a super white, odourless emulsion for improved cleaning and fragrance stability.

Overall Molylub TexStat antistatic coning oil is an important lubricant that ensures the smooth functioning of spinning machines while boosting yarn quality. In the textile industry, antistatic coning oil is used to enhance the functioning of spinning machines and to decrease the likelihood of static electricity accumulation.

Leader softening process oil

Leather is also softened, after it is dried, by the addition of grease at temperatures at which it is fluid. These  ‘‘stuffing compounds’’ are made from  wool grease or high-melting mixtures of mineral waxes and  fatty acids. For reasons that are not understood, they must be used at much higher levels than fatliquors—usually  about 30%  of the weight  other  leather, instead  of 10–15%. The development of new softening materials is considered tube a high priority by  the   international  leather  industry. Research to   find materials   that  give softer leather  for  garments  without  the  drawbacks  of  greasy  feel,  odour,  and  cost  that attend increasing  the amounts used is proceeding in many laboratories in   many  countries  (25, 26).Research on leather softeners is driven by the same considerations everywhere: the need  to find new sources of oils and greases that are of constant quality, inexpensive, convertible to emulsifiers,   colour-fast,   and  preferably   colourless,  odourless,  fixed  well  in  the  leather,   and ecologically acceptable
