ALPHAKNIT 32
(Stainless Knitting Oil)
PRODUCT | Kin. Viscosity cSt at 40 °C | VI Min. | Flash Point COC, °C Min. | Description / Application |
ALPHAKNIT 32 | 27 – 32 | 100 | 160 | Alphaknit Oils are stain -free knitting machinery oils for use in automatic knitting machines. They are formulated from light coloured mineral base oils and fortified with selected additive package for guaranteeing superior scourability properties and high anti wear and antirust properties. They provide improved lubrication, improvement in quality of knitted fabrics and can be used through manual as well as mist lubrication devices. |
APPLICATIONS:
- High speed textile production machinery including needles, lifters, and sinkers
- Rapier guides and jacquard components on weaving machines
- Rings and travelers on yarn spinning frames and twisting equipment
- Cutting rolls on shearing machines.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Offers excellent lubricity for less wear and longer machine life
- Low co-efficients of friction
- Maintains operational purity without resin formation or gummy residues
- Reduces friction
- Excellent stability of lubricating film
- Contains rust, corrosion and anti-wear protection
- Non-corrosive to copper, bronze and other non-ferrous parts
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
No special handling precautions are required. Follow regular maintenance instructions as provided with original equipment. Although the Alphaknit oils are compatible with conventional oils, it is recommended to thoroughly drain and clean systems prior to switching over.
HEALTH & SAFETY: This oil is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.

WONDERKNIT
(Water Soluble Premium Knitting Oil)
Wonderknit Textile oil is a clear, light oil manufactured using highly refined white mineral oils and designed for a range of knitting and textile applications including shearing, spindle, roving, knitting, weaving, finishing and other related manufacturing. It contains a complete rust and corrosion additive package that protects delicate textile machinery components and provides superior lubrication with a low co-efficient of friction. It is formulated to be readily dispersed with water and provides excellent lubricity to reduce wear.
In the case of incidental contact with fabric or fibers, Wonderknit is formulated to be a truly washable oil using just plain water. Unlike certain “scourable” textile oils, this oil can be removed without the use of commercial washing liquors or caustic cleaning agents.
