Customized Formulations

Goulston Technologies utilizes the most advanced component technology together with the synthesis of new molecules as it seeks to develop new fiber finish technology. These components are designed to impart a variety of desirable properties including high lubricity, boundary lubrication, static protection, and permanent surface modification. Sophisticated laboratory equipment is used for the characterization of fiber surface properties. Our research & development team then utilizes our component technology and polymer surface understanding to design solutions for real-world fiber processing issues.

• Lurol Spin Finishes for Fiber Producers - These finishes are based on proprietary research, developed by Goulston personnel, either for specific applications or to meet the need of individual fiber producers.

• Downstream Processing Lubricants - This is an important product group that includes coning oils for textured polyester and nylon yarns, wool oils and carpet oversprays. These products complement Lurol spin finishes by adding special lubricating and processing properties at the mill level.

• Custom-Blended/License Products - This service is offered to fiber producing customers who formulate spin finishes within their own research laboratories. Goulston manufactures these finishes to exact specifications under individual secrecy and licensing agreements.
