Knitting Oil

Circular Knitting Oil,

Packing: 205 Ltr

The ISO 32 grade of knitting oil refers to a specific viscosity range of lubricating oil that is suitable for use in various knitting machines. ISO viscosity grades are standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are used to classify oils based on their viscosity, or thickness, at a given temperature.

Here’s a detailed explanation of the ISO 32 grade of knitting oil:

1. Viscosity: The “32” in ISO 32 grade indicates the viscosity of the oil, which falls within a specific range. Viscosity is a measure of the oil’s resistance to flow, or its thickness. In the case of ISO 32 grade oil, it means the oil has a viscosity within the range specified by ISO for this grade.
2. Suitability for Knitting Machines: Knitting machines, including circular knitting machines, require lubrication to ensure smooth operation of moving parts such as needles, sinkers, and cams. Knitting oil with an ISO 32 viscosity grade is chosen for its ability to provide adequate lubrication while still allowing for smooth movement of these components.
3. Temperature Stability: ISO 32 knitting oil is typically formulated to provide stable performance across a range of temperatures commonly encountered during machine operation. This ensures that the oil maintains its viscosity and lubricating properties even under varying operating conditions.
4. Friction Reduction: The primary function of knitting oil is to reduce friction between moving parts within the knitting machine. By doing so, it minimizes wear and tear on components, extends the lifespan of the machine, and helps to maintain consistent fabric quality during production.
5. Corrosion Protection: Knitting oils often contain additives that provide protection against corrosion and rust on metal surfaces within the machine. This is particularly important in textile manufacturing environments where exposure to moisture and humidity can accelerate corrosion.
6. Compatibility: ISO 32 knitting oil should be compatible with the materials used in the construction of knitting machines, such as metals, plastics, and elastomers. Compatibility ensures that the oil does not degrade or damage machine components over time.
