Why do we need special lubricants for the textile industry?

The textile industry is one of the largest industries worldwide and there are multiple production steps for the manufacture of textile goods. For productivity reasons, such steps have to be done at the maximum speed which is regularly increased through the evolution of techniques and machinery. However higher speeds mean higher constraints and yarns have to be protected. Depending on their final field of application, textile products also have to fulfil specific requirements from raw materials to finished goods.
Textile lubricants are therefore needed to protect the processed materials while coping with the inner requirements of their end-uses and industries.
