General product information

PERIXEN FDA is a completely biodegradable, health-compatible lubricant for sewing threads. The product is suitable for the production of sustainable textiles as well as for the use in the food sector.

Ready-made textiles can only be declared as sustainable products, if all the used materials and accessories as well as the applied finishing auxiliaries are fully sustainable. PERIXEN FDA is our lubricant which can be used for sustainable sewing yarn. The product can be used in the biological cycles over and over again.

Sewing threads which are intended for the use in the food-processing sector must comply with the European Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, article 3. PERIXEN FDA meets this European Regulation in many applications. In principle, threads finished with PERIXEN FDA can be used in the food industry.

Special properties

PERIXEN FDA is a lubricant for sewing threads which is applied cold by lick roll technique or by precision pump. The product is used for the lubrication of sewing threads made of polyester, polyamide and cellulosic fibers.

PERIXEN FDA provides sewing threads with the necessary smoothness and heat resistance. Threads treated with this product have an even and low friction value. The good frictional properties avoid a stick slip effect. The heat of the needle caused by high speed sewing is absorbed by the layer of PERIXEN FDA. This way the sewing of yarns made of synthetic fibers is possible even under severe conditions.

Compared to lubricants on emulsion basis the product has the advantage of being non-aqueous and therefore no drying is necessary after its application.
