MATLUBE® LRT LIQUID

Lick-roll thread lubricant.

Technical Literature
INTRODUCTION

The perfect winding control of modern winding systems

now permits the further processing of yarn packages
directly after dyeing, thus making it possible to eliminate
rewinding in most cases. However this presupposes that
the yarn after dyeing is finished with an effective
lubricant. In this case Matlube LRT liquid is used as
lubricant in the lick roll/kiss roll method.

Matlube LRT liquid produces thread with low friction

characteristics. It provides uniform distribution over
entire thread surface.

Matlube LRT is a linear, non-reactive

polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of ca.1000mm2/s.
Due to its chemical structure, it has an advantage over
other organic materials like mineral oils.

FEATURES

• Excellent water-repellent properties

• Uniform distribution over entire thread
• Produces thread with low friction
variations
• Remains liquid at room temperature
• Easy to apply and more cost effective than
exhaustible finishes
• Low surface tension leading to high
surface activity
• Good solubility in a wide range of solvents
