24—THE MIGRATIONAL BEHAVIOUR OF JUTE SPINNING OILS

Abstract

Experiments lo study the migration of oil from jute materials into other fibrous or finely divided materials are described. It is shown that the amount of oil transferred depends on factors such as the time of contact, the pressure, the oil content of the jute, the viscosity of the oil, the temperature, and the physical characteristics of the absorbing material. Empirical relations showing how the extent of migration varies with these factors can be used to obtain approximate assessments of the migrational behaviour of oil in jute products under some conditions of use.
