DEFINITION SELCO KNITTOL SPL is a high-performance lubricant specifically formulated for needles and sinkers in large-diameter circular knitting machines. It contains extreme pressure and anti-wear additives, ensuring minimal wear even at high machine speeds while offering excellent oxidation stability. This lubricant does not thicken or form resinous deposits on loop-forming elements. With emulsifiers, a high viscosity index, and a viscosity grade that supports easy machine start-up at low temperatures, it also ensures safe lubrication under high-temperature conditions. The product is suitable for all normal lubrication methods, including automatic lubrication systems.
APPLICATIONS SELCO KNITTOL SPL is a universal lubricant designed for modern knitting mills operating high-speed circular knitting machines with fine gauge and a high number of systems.
