Does the use of paraffin really reduce friction in the yarn?

Reducing friction in yarn production is critically important for both machine performance and product quality. Using paraffin is one of the primary methods to reduce this friction.

Effects of Paraffin on Friction:

• Provides slipperiness
• Improves surface smoothness
• Reduces the coefficient of friction
• Decreases wear on machine parts

Technically Measured Metrics:

• Friction coefficient before paraffin
• Friction coefficient after paraffin
• Breakage frequency and strength comparison

With proper paraffin application, a 30–60% improvement in the yarn's coefficient of friction can be achieved.
