Keen Tex

Keen Tex by Kelpen Oil is the lubricant developed for needles and sinkers in industrial sewing machines and circular knitting machines. It lubricates the critical point where the needle moves continuously, reducing friction and extending component life.

The fundamental property is high washability: after fabric confection, lubricant residue is easily removed in standard industrial washing cycles, leaving no stains, marks or color changes. It is the option that maintains machine productivity without compromising final fabric quality.

Applications

• Industrial sewing machines (overlock, straight, closers)
• Circular knitting machines
• Flat knitting machines
• Critical points with direct contact with yarn/fabric

Advantages

• High washability — removes without staining fabric.
• Efficient lubrication of needles and sinkers.
• Extends component life of the machine.
• Compatibility with standard industrial washing.
