WOOLEN SPINNING

ACHIFIL AL

Lubricant expressly designed for spinning wool and its blends with synthetic, having a high performance in carding processes. The product is characterized by excellent lubricating power and to help reduce the coefficient of friction F/F and F/M. It does not give rise to rancidity, yellowing or deposits and does not damage the parts of the machinery.

ACHIFIL R 345

Lubricant suitable for worsted spinning of wool and its blends with synthetic, suitable both for open-end spinning and to be used in a backwashing. The product is characterized by its excellent lubricating power and high capacity to retain moisture. It improves the cohesion between fibres and reduces the coefficients of friction F/F and F/M. It does not give rise to rancidity, yellowing or deposits and does not damage the parts of the machinery.

ACHIFIL TXN

Lubricant specifically designed for woolen spinning of wool and its blends with synthetic, intended for knitting and weaving, also suitable for spinning animal hair. It has a high performance in carding processes. The product is characterized by excellent lubricating power and to help reduce the coefficient of friction F/F and F/M. It does not give rise to rancidity, yellowing or deposits and does not damage the parts of the machinery.

ACHISTAT 073 F

Multi-purpose antistatic that can be used in all spinning and gluing processes. It is characterized by its high antistatic effect and its ability to retain moisture. The product does not contain mineral oils and fats and is free from odors and yellowing. Its special formulation allows to obtain well parallelized fibres and very regular sleevers.

ACHISTAT HF 50

Antistatic that can be used both in addition to oleants in carded or worsted spinning of wool and its blends, and in regenerated cotton spinning. The product can also be used alone in worsted spinning of acrylic fibres and in open end. Recommended for polyester non woven. It is characterized by its high antistatic effect and not containing mineral oils and fats. It allows to obtain well parallelized fibres and very regular sleevers. The product reduces the formation of rolls on the cylinders, is odorless and easily eliminated from the fibre with a simple washing.

ACHISTAT K

Multipurpose antistatic that can be used in all spinning processes, particularly suitable for woolen spinning. It is characterized by its high antistatic effect and its ability to retain moisture. It does not contain mineral oils or fats. It allows to obtain well parallelized fibres and very regular sleevers. The product reduces the formation of rolls on the cylinders, is odorless and easily eliminated from the fibre with a simple washing.

ORAFIL AT

Lubricant specifically designed for spinning wool, angora, cashmere and their blends. It is characterized by the rapid and uniform imbibition of the fibres and the stabilization of the moisture content. The product is easy to use and ensures high yields during the carding process. It reduces the coefficients of friction F/F and F/M and has an excellent lubricating power.

ORAFIL CW 31

Lubricant specifically designed for spinning wool, animal hair and their blends. It is characterized by: the high concentration and the excellent lubricating effect. It promotes the rapid and uniform imbibition of the fibres, helping to maintain the moisture content. Ensure high yields during the carding process, reducing the coefficients of friction F/F and F/M and avoiding rancidity, yellowing or deposits on machinery.

ORAFIL MS

Lubricant specifically designed for woolen spinning of wool and its blends with synthetic. The product is easy to use and ensures high yields during the carding process. It reduces the coefficients of friction F/F and F/M and has an excellent lubricating power.
