Which type of paraffin is suitable for which yarn?
Each type of yarn requires different types of paraffin due to its structure. It is not possible to achieve good results on all yarns with a single type of paraffin.
Paraffin Selection According to Yarn Type:
- Cotton yarns: Soft paraffins are suitable
- Polyester yarns: Hard paraffins providing high slipperiness are needed
- Viscose yarns: Controlled and small amounts of paraffin should be used
- Blended yarns: Medium hardness, balanced paraffin should be preferred
Important Factors When Choosing Paraffin:
- Melting point
- Disk hardness
- Surface slipperiness
- Dust-free property
The right paraffin selection ensures the yarn performs best both in machines and in the final product.
