Maximum precision and efficiency 
Circular and flatbed knitting machines in the textile industry.

Sinkers and needles are the most important machine elements in modern circular and flatbed knitting machines in the textile industry. Perfectly matched lubricants that increase process efficiency while offering maximum reliability are a crucial design element. The newly developed needle and sinker oil BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 helps mini-mize wear and costs while increasing lifetimes significantly.

 

BECHEM Staroil KNT 32-1 is a high-performance oil with a special additive package for outstanding lubricating properties in a wide temperature range, which ensures a longer needle and sinker oil service life. The special knitting oil features very good washability and does not leave behind any residues even after extended use. Even under extreme conditions, the stable lubricating film ensures reliable, high wear protection. The needle and sinker oil is available in 20-liter PE canisters and 200-liter tight-head drums.
