Yarn Lubricants Market: Introduction
- The global yarn lubricants market is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, owing to properties of these lubricants such as easier needle penetration & elimination of carbon, sizing, or adhesive buildups on the needle or hook
- Yarn lubricants are used to reduce fiber-to-metal and fiber-to-fiber friction. They are also used to reduce static charges. Yarn lubricants are applied on the fabric surface to prevent damage during further processing.
- Yarn lubricants or anti-static textile oil is an emulsifiable oil, which can be made from mineral oils or biodegradable oils such as synthetic oils and vegetable oils, to which additives are added to make it emulsifiable and give it anti-static property
Key Drivers of Global Yarn Lubricants Market
- Global yarn lubricants market is dominated by Brazil, Russia, India, and China due to the increase in textile production in these countries. The yarn lubricants market offers significant potential for growth in these countries, especially those in Asia Pacific.
- Introduction of regulatory norms such as mandatory usage of seatbelts & airbags in automobiles, flame retardant fabrics in commercial places, and use of geotextiles for construction is likely to boost the demand for technical textiles. This, in turn, is expected to drive the global yarn lubricants market.
Coning Oil Product Type Segment to Offer Lucrative Opportunities
- In terms of product type, coning oil is projected to be a rapidly growing segment of the global yarn lubricants market during the forecast period, as the oil provides excellent lubricity to filaments and reduces friction during operation
- Coning oil helps avoid yarn breakage and quality defects by reducing yarn to yarn and yarn to metal friction. Coning oil possesses anti-static property. As a result, the oil applied on the yarn helps lowers impact of the static electricity on yarn by improving its evacuation.
Increase in Environmental Concerns and Stringent Government Regulations Likely to Hamper Market
- Yarn lubricants are primarily used in the textile chemicals, and textile dyeing and finishing industries. This creates pollution issues, as these are chemically intensive industries and major polluters of clean water.
- Water consumption for dyeing varies between 30 liters per kilogram and 50 liters per kilogram of cloth depending on the type of dye used. The overall water consumption of yarn dyeing is about 60 liters per kilogram of yarn. The dyeing sector contributes 15% to 20% of the total wastewater flow.
- More than 120 azo dyes are banned in Europe, as they contain a specific chemical group derived from diazonium salts, which may form carcinogenic or mutagenic amines
Asia Pacific to Hold Major Share of Global Yarn Lubricants Market
- Asia Pacific constituted key share of the global yarn lubricants market in 2018, as the region is a major global manufacturer of textiles. Recently, production of textiles and the subsequent consumption of textile chemicals have primarily shifted to Asia Pacific, i.e. away from the traditional production centers such as the U.S. and Western Europe. However, certain segments of the textile industry in the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan such as technical textiles, tire cords, and nonwoven fabrics have remained unaffected by this geographical shift.
- Opportunity for yarn lubricants is high in environmentally sensitive zones. It is led by federal procurement programs, tenders, and self-regulation by OEMs and trade associations. The reasons behind relatively limited uptake of yarn lubricants are lack of regulations and presence of domestic labels, high prices, and lack of suitable additives.
