During the spinning process of polypropylene yarn, there is a seemingly auxiliary but crucial procedure - oiling. The quality and applicability of Polypropylene yarn spinning oil directly determine the stability of the spinning process and the final quality performance of the yarn.


This special oil agent is not an ordinary lubricating oil, but a carefully designed compound formula based on the hydrophobic properties of polypropylene fibers and the requirements of the spinning process. Its primary task is to effectively control static electricity during the production process. Polypropylene material has extremely strong insulation. During high-speed spinning, the friction between the fibers and the equipment will generate a large amount of static electricity, causing the filaments to disperse, the number of filaments to increase, and even the breakage of the filaments. High-quality Polypropylene yarn spinning oil provides a charge release path for fibers through its antistatic components, ensuring smooth production.


In addition to anti-static properties, excellent smoothness is equally crucial. Polypropylene yarn spinning oil forms a uniform oil film on the fiber surface, significantly reducing the dynamic friction coefficient between the fiber and the filament guide and the friction roller. This not only reduces equipment wear but also avoids fiber damage caused by frictional overheating, ensuring the strength and elongation indicators of the fibers. Meanwhile, the appropriate bundling property enables the single filaments to be well integrated into one bundle, preventing problems such as filament drift and breakage during the spinning process.


The selection of the appropriate Polypropylene yarn spinning oil requires comprehensive consideration. The smoothness, antistatic property and bundling property of the oiling agent should be balanced based on factors such as spinning speed, fiber fineness and post-processing requirements. The viscosity requirements for oil agents vary in different seasons. In summer, it is advisable to choose models with slightly higher viscosity, while in winter, the opposite is true. Only precisely matched oil agents can truly become the "blood" of the polypropylene spinning process, safeguarding efficient and high-quality production.
