Spin Finish is added to fibers to improve their downstream handling in the process of manufacturing. Fibers with properly distributed Spin Finish run more smoothly through the spinning machines allowing faster and more reliable operation. Spin Finish avoids static electricity, guarantees sufficient lubrication and improves the cohesion of filaments. Determining the Spin Finish levels is crucial and needs to be assessed quickly and continuously. The minispec has proven to be the best solution for analyzing practically all combinations of fibers and Spin Finishes.
