Evo® Wax

High performance lubricants for knitting yarns

DyStar's Evo Wax range of high-quality products for the yarn processing industry offers
optimum solutions for all fibres.

Benefits of Evo Wax products:

9 Cost-saving because softening and lubrication are done in one step
9 Higher spooling speed of the yarn
9 Optimal reduction of the friction coefficient throughout / across the bobbin
9 Reduction in fibre / fibre friction, fibre / metal friction and static charges
9 Evo Wax products are applied in an aqueous liquor ensuring very even application
to the fibre
9 Reduction in fibre abrasion and thus air pollution
9 High reproducibility
9 Long-lasting effects even after prolonged storage of yarns
9 Finished yarns have low sensitivity to sudden changes in climate like
temperature, humidity, etc.

Evo Wax products at a glance:

Cationic yarn lubricant based on waxes. Suitable for all types of fibres. Evo
Evo Wax FRS
Wax FRS is not sensitive to residues of other products and is stable to salts.
Cotton yarns treated with an OBA do not normally have any tendency to
yellow after drying. Very constant and low friction values are obtained. Meets
the FDA requirements.
Cationic yarn lubricant, micro emulsion, comprising several waxes.
Evo Wax PEP
Particularly suitable for yarns made of 100% cotton and cotton blends.
Yarns treated with Evo Wax PEP provide a soft handle and excellent friction
values. Because of its micro particles this emulsion gives a very even film
on the yarn.
Silicone containing wet waxing lubricant and softener for knitting/warp
Evo Wax SWS
knitting and weaving yarns; low friction behaviour and a very soft and smooth
handle is obtained. Needle hole formation is prevented. There is no negative
effect on optically brightened yarns.
Wet waxing lubricant for knitting/warp knitting and weaving yarns
Evo Wax GS
particularly polyester, cotton and blends. Evo Wax GS is slightly hydrophilic
and has antistatic properties on synthetic fibres. It provides a minimal fibre fly.
