About the lubricity of sewing thread!
2022-09-13

In addition to twist, tension and color fastness, the performance index of sewing thread, the most easily overlooked but very important index is the oiling rate. Usually we think that the oiling rate of sewing thread is 3%-5%. , the sewing effect is the best.



When the sewing thread passes through the eye of the needle, it must withstand the extrusion of the eye of the needle and the heat of high temperature. At this time, sufficient oiling rate plays the most important role. On the one hand, it increases the smoothness of the sewing thread. seam performance.



Commonly used sewing thread lubricants are: silicone oil and silicone wax



Sakura sewing thread silicone oil is compounded by high molecular weight polysiloxane and liquid paraffin. When lubricating the sewing thread, a sufficient oiling rate can make the sewing thread have good lubricity and smoothness.



Sewing thread silicone wax has stronger adsorption, and can cover the entire thread surface more evenly with antistatic and friction resistance. It is more suitable for high-speed sewing on high-speed machines.



Our experience is to use50% silicone oil and 50% silicone wax mixed evenly, which can achieve a satisfactory oiling rate and make the sewing performance of the sewing thread even better!
