Liquid Paraffin White Oil

Paraffin White Oil is a mineral oil obtained from petroleum fractionation. Its main components are saturated hydrocarbons. It is colorless, odorless, transparent and chemically stable. In the textile field, especially in denim production, it is deeply refined, has low impurity content, good lubricity and biocompatibility, and is an indispensable auxiliary material in denim production and processing.

Paraffin White Oil Features:

1. High purity and low impurities: Paraffin White Oil is deeply refined, with extremely low impurity content, and the total impurity mass fraction is less than 0.1%. In the denim printing process, adding it to the printing and dyeing auxiliaries will not interfere with the printing and dyeing effect due to impurities, and can make the printing and dyeing pattern colorful and accurate, and improve the appearance quality of denim.

   
   

2. Strong chemical stability: Its saturated hydrocarbon structure makes its chemical properties stable, and it does not react chemically at room temperature and general processing temperature. In the denim dyeing process, when mixed with dyes and other chemical auxiliaries, it will not react adversely with them, and can maintain the stability of the dyes and the durability of the color, ensuring that the denim is dyed evenly and firmly.

   
   

3. Excellent lubrication performance: It has good lubrication properties, can form a uniform lubricating film on the fiber surface, and reduce the friction coefficient between fibers. In the denim weaving process, lubricating the denim yarn can make the yarn interweave more smoothly on the loom, reduce the yarn hairiness and broken ends, and improve the weaving efficiency and the weaving quality of denim.

   
   

4. Good biocompatibility: There is basically no irritation or allergic reaction when in contact with human skin, and skin irritation and sensitization tests show its mildness. Even if denim rubs against the skin during wearing, it will not cause harm to human health.

   
   

5. Low volatility: The volatile loss is small at room temperature and normal use temperature, and the volatile rate is about 70% lower than that of similar oils. When used in denim production, it reduces the loss of oil caused by volatilization, reduces the oil and gas concentration in the workshop, improves the air quality in the workshop, is beneficial to the health of workers, and also reduces the frequency of oil replenishment caused by volatilization, and improves production efficiency.

   
   

6. Excellent thermal stability: It will not decompose or deteriorate at higher temperatures, and can adapt to high temperature links in the denim production process, such as heat setting and other processes. When denim is heat set, Paraffin White Oil is coated on the surface of the fabric to prevent the fiber from excessive shrinkage or damage at high temperatures, and maintain the dimensional stability and feel of the denim.

Where can we use Paraffin White Oil?

1. Denim softening finishing: Paraffin White Oil is a commonly used softener in denim production. It is applied to the surface of denim by padding or spraying to form a lubricating film between fibers, reduce the friction coefficient between fibers, make the fabric soft and comfortable, and improve the wearing experience.

   
   

2. Denim dyeing process: Paraffin White Oil can be used as a dyeing auxiliary and mixed with dyes. Its chemical stability does not affect the color of the dye, helps the dye to adhere evenly to the fiber surface, improves the uniformity and fastness of dyeing, and ensures that the denim color is bright and lasting.

   
   

3. Denim printing link: Paraffin White Oil can be used as a printing auxiliary. After mixing with printing and dyeing auxiliaries, its high purity characteristics will not interfere with the printing effect, and can make the printing and dyeing pattern color more vivid and accurate, and enhance the appearance quality of denim.

   
   

4. Denim weaving process: Paraffin White Oil can lubricate the yarn, so that the yarn can be smoothly interwoven on the loom, reduce hairiness and broken ends, and improve weaving efficiency and denim weaving quality.

   
   

5. Denim heat setting process: During heat setting, Paraffin White Oil is applied to the surface of denim to prevent excessive shrinkage or damage of fibers at high temperatures, thereby maintaining dimensional stability and feel.

   
   

6. Denim protective finishing: Paraffin White Oil can be used as a protective finishing agent to give denim certain protective properties, such as dust and dirt resistance, making denim easier to care for and keep clean during wear and use.

Paraffin White Oil Maintenance:

• Storage environment control: Paraffin White Oil should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment with a temperature of 5℃-30℃ and a relative humidity of no more than 60%. Such environmental conditions can effectively prevent the oil from accelerating oxidation due to high temperature and avoid water intrusion that causes the oil to emulsify or breed microorganisms. For example, during high temperatures in summer, oil should be avoided from being stored in warehouse areas exposed to direct sunlight. Sunshades or air conditioning facilities can be used to adjust the temperature to ensure stable oil performance.

  
  

• Sealed packaging: During storage and use, it is necessary to ensure that the Paraffin White Oil packaging container is well sealed. Tighten the bottle cap or seal immediately after use to prevent oxygen, moisture and dust from entering the air. For large-capacity barreled oil products, special sealing equipment can be used to seal them to prevent the oil from being contaminated or oxidized and extend its service life.

  
  

• Container cleaning: Before using Paraffin White Oil, the cleanliness of the container must be ensured. New containers should be cleaned with anhydrous ethanol or other special cleaning agents to remove possible residual impurities, dust and microorganisms. For reusable containers, they need to be thoroughly cleaned and dried. High-temperature boiling or ultraviolet disinfection can be used to prevent container contamination from affecting the oil quality and denim production results.

  
  

• Avoid high temperatures: Although Paraffin White Oil has good thermal stability, it still needs to be avoided from being exposed to high temperatures for a long time. When heated, the temperature should be controlled within the recommended range of the oil, generally not exceeding 100°C. In denim production, such as high-temperature processes such as heat setting, the oil should be kept away from direct contact with the surface of high-temperature equipment as much as possible to prevent the oil from deteriorating or producing harmful substances due to high temperature, affecting the quality of denim and production safety.

  
  

• Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the appearance and status of the stored Paraffin White Oil, with a recommended frequency of once a month, to observe whether the oil has abnormal phenomena such as turbidity, stratification, and discoloration. If there is any abnormality, samples should be taken and analyzed in time to determine whether it can continue to be used. For example, if the oil is found to be slightly turbid, it may be caused by water intrusion, which can be treated by centrifugal dehydration or replacement of desiccant to ensure the quality of the oil.

  
  

• Professional storage equipment: For companies that store large quantities of Paraffin White Oil, professional oil storage tanks and related equipment should be configured. The oil storage tanks are made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic, with smooth internal surfaces and no welds to avoid oil residue and microbial growth. At the same time, the oil storage tanks should be equipped with devices such as level gauges, thermometers and breathing valves to facilitate real-time monitoring of the oil storage status and ensure the quality and safety of the oil during storage.
