When the Reseda factory opened in Konstanz by LakeConstance a 100 years ago, on August 1, 1913, nobody could have guessed that this was to be the beginning of one of the most revolutionary products for the textile industry. Richard Binder was the founder of this company which is familiar to textile manufacturers all over the world. In fact, the entire textile industry is of the unanimous view that “Reseda is the best wax in the world”. Now the 100-year-old family concern Reseda Binder can look back on a success story with rich tradition.
Every year, millions of wax rolls are manufactured by fully automated production at the company’s factories. Every roll has exact dimensions and optimum melting qualities. Reseda also manufactures to formulae that are tailor-made to meet customer requirements perfectly. Reseda which has been present in the Indian market for many years is now represented by Tefoc in the South.
Materials as varied as cotton, wool, rayon staple, mixed yarns or dyed yarns need paraffin that suits their individual characteristics. The important characteristics for NATURAFIN rolls are melting point, structure, oil content and the penetration level, all denoting the hardness of the paraffin.
Reseda Binder can supply wax rolls for all machine types used for waxing yarn with the optimum paraffin specifications and qualities. The penetration value describes the penetration depth of a test needle (in tenths of a millimetre). Paraffin types are colour tinted to distinguish the different wax qualities. The colours used do not have any effect on the appearance of finished products.
All over the world Reseda enjoys a good reputation for its excellent product quality and service. Whether this concerns special machine types or problematic yarns, Reseda has the answer. Textile manufacturers and specialists all over world have relied on Reseda Binder for decades. Reliable partnership, fast and flexible delivery, worldwide service and more than 110 different types of wax, as well as tailor-made wax formulae – all this speaks for itself.
Wax rolls by Reseda are manufactured to particularly high-level standards. The name NATURAFIN stands for consistently high quality with many benefits for the yarn application process. It is not the special manufacturing process that makes Reseda’s quality unique but the inherent characteristics that make Reseda Binder a global market leader, essentially down to the secret formula used. The quality of these exceptional products is backed by strong tradition and innovation.
Reseda’s fully automated production process guarantees consistent quality, precise dimensions and excellent melting qualities. Consequently, even when demand is high, the company can still guarantee prompt delivery for an extremely wide range of standard qualities.
Innovations
Reseda Binder places great value on the continuous optimisation of its products. For this reason, the company works hand in hand with renowned textile research institutes and machine manufacturers such as Rieter and Schlafhorst.
Apart from its patented WasteWatcher, Reseda has also developed its own friction level meter which can be used to calculate the optimum paraffin application for any type of yarn or yarn quality. The friction levels are calculated electronically and accurately, and can be analysed directly on the practical touch screen. Under-waxing and over-waxing with paraffin should therefore now be a thing of the past. Reseda’s other new product developments include steam wax paraffins that offer numerous benefits related to production process.
Reseda’s excellent knowledge in friction analysis helped it develop a friction tester of international standard. Spinners can make use of this tester to ensure their yarn going to the market is with correct friction levels.
The purpose of Reseda’s products is to reduce the friction level of yarns as far as possible. To help achieve optimum levels, Reseda Binder offers a range of different types tailored to suit production conditions in extremely different environments worldwide. Consequently, not only the yarn number or yarn quality is important: the room temperature and the humidity in the winding hall are also decisive factors for the smoothest possible winding results.
Permanent test series and research in co-operation with renowned textile machine manufacturers and laboratories ensure that special paraffin types are matched perfectly to machine characteristics and ambient conditions.
Wax rolls by Reseda Binder are distinguished by a particularly low paraffin consumption and even distribution along the yarn. The wax is free of air bubbles and has a remarkably high degree of purity. What is more, the rolls let manufacturers achieve high machine efficiency, thanks to their extraordinarily low friction levels.
