Sylast/Profinish Series

[2014-2015]

High Quality Lubricants For Sewing Threads & Wet waxing / Softening

Garment makers & consumers have very high expectation

The seam must meet a multiplicity of requirements. Consequently, the requirements of the garment makers and the sewing industry are high on the thread used to make seams. Production of seam must be quick & flawless, it must withstand mechanical stress & it must meet the aesthetic & up-to-date fashion expectations of consumers. They can fully unfold their capabilities when they are brought up to peak performance by “Sylast series” of Sewing Thread Lubricants:

A lot is expected of sewing thread

Embroidery yarn should shine & embellish

Robust Sewing process are crucial

It is important that seam stresses like working with

your thread

Thread must be gentle on the skin

A seam must hold & look good

Sylast-Exhaust Method

Sylast LubricantsSuperior performance in your exhaust process:

The lubrication is initiated by pH adjustment and temperature raise. The lubricant droplets grow together and form a homogeneous film on the surface of the thread. Sylast-Series helps to make exhaust process quick, simple & complete

Sylast film

Sylast lubricants for lick roll application have been optimized to wet the lick roll with a uniform thin layer. When the thread comes into contact with this layer, the lubricant is transferred to the thread and spread out forming a homogeneous film on the surface of the thread.

Sylast Lubricants-Optimized for kiss-roll application

Sylast series range includes lubricants that are formulated to give optimum performance in dosing pump application. They fully cover the thread forming a uniform lubricant film. They are so stable that very little contamination builds up in the machine. This reduces cleaning costs & idle time to a minimum

Sylast Lubricants- compatible with all dosing pumps

SmoothnessNormal lubricants often create a non-homogeneous layer, resulting in

insufficient smoothness of the thread. With Sylast Series you get a

homogeneous lubrication. Regardless of whether you use the exhaust process,

a kiss-roll or dosing pump, the lubrication result in perfect in all respects.

Antistatic Properties

Without antistatic agents, a very high static charge builds up on

thread during sewing. Threads do not run smoothly, and this

inevitably results in poor sewing & poor seam quality.

Friction and heat protectionStandard lubricants hardly reduce friction on thread, & they are a significant factor in needle overheating without heat protection, sewing thread made of synthetic fiber will melt. This weakens the thread, leading to crust formation at needle. The result is thread breakage and limits on stitch frequency. Sewing thread treated with Sylast lubricant glides smoothly into the fabric. It provides heat protection for threads made of synthetic fiber. With Sylast you can sew at high speeds without the risk of thread breakage.

Sylast- For broad application windowIn the sewing industry, there often is not enough time to adjust sewing machine parameters to exactly match the sewing thread & the fabric. The consequences, for example when working with thin or smooth materials, are often fatal-crinkled seams & frustrated seamstresses.

Standard lubricants have narrow application window , & this often leads to problems in sewing process.

LNCI optimizes thread lubricants for a wide application window, so that critical seams can be placed more easily even when conditions are not optimal.

Constant seam thickness. Wide application window, even when technical sewing conditions are

unfavorable.

Fast, productive sewing with no thread breakage.

Reduced reject rate.

Satisfied seamstresses.

Productive, efficient sewing operations.

Why Wet Waxing Agent???

Disadvantage of hard waxing : Irregular take-up

Poor reproducibility

No constant friction

High static charge

Loss of paraffin during storage

Paraffin deposits

Low winding speed

Yarn breakage

Unsteady fibre run.

Wet waxing with “Sylast” is the technology of choice

Combo-Process with Sylast:

Sylast-Combo process-Advantages

Wet-waxing and softening in the dyeing unit, directly after

the dyeing process.

Ingeniously simple” One pot process”

Good sliding properties & soft handle through finishing at

yarn level.

Excellent results & lower costs.

For all types of yarn.

For practically all applications such as socks, over wear,

body wear etc.

Technical benefits:

Extremely thin & homogeneous coating of the yarn with high-performance lubricant.

Greatly reduced friction, abrasion & static charge. Constant coefficients of friction in every speed range.

Operational benefits:

Simplest handling No intermediate steps, directly after dyeing Little fibre fly & no deposits on the processing machines

Efficient:

Economical due to practically 100% yield Cost saving through simplification of process flow Environment- friendly because next to nothing remains in the liquor
