60/62

11-14

Almost universal use even for high room temperatures*.

SPECIAL WHITE

59/60

15-17

Particulary suitable for yarns with average count and with room temperature of 20-27°C*.

* These waxes are water soluble by adding emulsifying agents during finishing.

WAXING CONDITIONS IN THE OPEN-END ROTORSPINN PROCESS:

1) The waxing device applies the wax in minuscule particles on the yarn, obtaining an optimal friction coefficient with the lowest wax take-up.
2) The wax should not separate into layers nor should it spread onto the waxing device.
3) The wax must have a smooth surface without trapping any air.
4) The wax roll should be replaced when the thickness is about 5 mm.
