Needle oil and sinker oil for knitting machinesBECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1
Sinkers and needles are the most important machine elements in modern circular and flatbed knitting machines in the textile industry. Perfectly matched lubricants that increase process efficiency while offering maximum reliability are a crucial design element. The newly developed needle and sinker oil BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 helps mini-mize wear and costs while increasing lifetimes significantly.
BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 is a high-performance oil with a special additive package for outstanding lubricating properties in a wide temperature range, which ensures a longer needle and sinker oil service life. The special knitting oil features very good washability and does not leave behind any residues even after extended use. Even under extreme conditions, the stable lubricating film ensures reliable, high wear protection.
The newly developed BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 will soon be supplemented by the versions BECHEM Staroil KNT 22-1 (with 22 viscosity) and BECHEM Staroil KNT 46-1 (with 46 viscosity), so that suitable products will then be available for both circular and flat knitting machines.
BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 convinces with low friction losses, resulting in high efficiency.
- Excellent corrosion protection
- Outstanding lubricating properties
- Low coefficient of friction
- Very good washability
- Good elastomer compatibility
- Good paint compatibility
- Good wear protection behavior
- Free of toxic substances
- Good resistance to high temperatures
- 0.52 mm VKA wear scar [mm] according to DIN 51350
The tailored additive is the crucial ingredient in the formula, ensuring that BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 achieves a reduction in friction (µ) across the entire friction distance despite increased compression.
