One of the most common questions we hear is:
"Does every yarn require paraffin waxing?"
The short answer is no.
The lubrication method depends on factors such as:
The type of yarn
The intended end use
Machine configuration
Customer requirements
For example, sewing threads and many knitting yarns commonly use paraffin waxing, while other applications may use silicone or different specialty finishes.
Understanding these differences is essential when selecting the right solution for your production process.
