Boehme Filatex Canada recently developed a lubricant to aid in the napping of cotton fabrics, polyester fabrics, and cotton/polyester blends. According ot the company, Talfurol 8402A provides excellent fiber to fiber and fiber to metal lubricity and imparts a pleasant hand to the fabric. Field tests show that Talfurol 8402A reduces the average number of machine passes needed during napping, producing a nap superior to that obtained with conventional lubricants. Boehme Filatex claims that Talfurol 8402A reduces lint generation and inhibits bleeding in the pad bath.
