PENSOL Knitting Oil is a high-performance lubricant specially formulated for the lubrication of high-speed knitting machines. It is manufactured using high-quality mineral-based oils and synthetic esters, fortified with selected additives to provide reliable lubrication and protection under demanding operating conditions.
Knitting-machine needles operate at very high speeds and require effective lubrication to minimize friction, control heat and reduce wear. PENSOL Knitting Oil is designed to provide excellent lubricity while helping protect needles and other moving components from wear and corrosion.
Its non-staining and washable characteristics make it particularly suitable for knitting and textile machinery where lubricant cleanliness and fabric compatibility are important considerations.
PENSOL Knitting Oil is available in 22 cSt and 32 cSt viscosity grades and is supplied in 20-liter and 220-liter drums.
