Anti-Static Coning Oil
Anti-Static Coning Oil:
The “UNICON” series of Anti-static coning oil is a specialized lubricant used primarily in the textile industry during the processing of synthetic yarns, such as polyester, nylon, or blended fibers. It is applied to yarn during the coning, twisting, or texturizing processes to improve handling and performance. The oil is typically formulated from highly refined, light-colored, low-viscosity mineral oil combined with additives like emulsifiers, antistatic agents, friction-reducing compounds, and anti-splash agents.
Its main purposes are:
- Reducing Static Electricity: The antistatic properties prevent the build-up of static charges on the yarn, which can cause issues like yarn sticking, tangling, or attraction of dust and debris.
- Lubrication: It reduces friction between yarn fibers and between the yarn and machinery (e.g., metal surfaces), minimizing wear, breakage, or snagging during high-speed operations.
- Uniform Application: The oil ensures even distribution across the yarn package, enhancing consistency in downstream processes like knitting or weaving.
- Anti-Splash: It helps reduce oil misting or splashing at high speeds, which lowers waste and maintains a cleaner working environment.
Anti-static coning oil is often emulsifiable, meaning it can be mixed with water for easier application and removal (scourability) during subsequent textile finishing stages. It is non-staining and designed to maintain yarn quality without affecting its appearance or performance. This type of oil is widely used in operations like texturizing, twisting, crimping, and softening of synthetic yarns, as well as in woolen or rayon cording processes.
Note: The oil has anti-static properties and excellent pick-up quality as high as 5% to 8% on wt. of yarn. It gives a considerable reduction in chemical “SPLASHING” in high speed machines, thereby enhancing Total Gain% in addition to reducing chemical wastage and overall cost.
