W22 – High Performance
Description
Silvertex W22 oil is a high performance needle and sinker oil consisting of highly refined paraffin-based mineral oils. The oil was specifically formulated for today’s highly technical and high-speed circular knitting machines.
Benefits
The advantages of Silvertex W22 over normal knitting machine oils with a high content of emulsifiers are:-
- Plastics
Silvertex W22 has no effect on plastics, very important on electronic selection machines with plastic parts and cables.
- Paint
Silvertex W22 has no effect on paint. No more paint stripped from the machine by the emulsifiers in the oil.
- Lycra®
Silvertex W22 has been rigorously tested by Du-Pont and was found to have no effect on Lycra® whatsoever.
- Wear Properties
Silvertex W22 has been proven to have better lubrication and so give less wear on cams and needles, leading to longer needle life.
- Water Contamination
Silvertex W22 does not gel and block oilers when in contact with water.
- Less Consumption
Because of the better lubrication properties of Silvertex W 22, less oil can be used on the machine, so saving costs.
- Finishing
Silvertex W22 is emulsifiable, so conventional finishing routes can be used.
