TRAXIT International supplies lubricants for the international wire drawing industry. The company provides a complete range of products and innovative solutions to suit all needs and applications of its demanding customers. Founded 1881 in Schwelm, Germany, Traxit has grown into a major player in its industry, and claims to be the only global supplier that maintains drawing lubricants and compounds as its sole business. Its products are distributed by proprietary companies, agents and representatives in more than 150 countries, in order to provide clients with technical solutions and necessary know-how. With a committed team of experts and more than 200 different formulations, Traxit can help find the lubricant for any task required. The eco-conscious company uses its experience to look ahead and remain at the cutting edge of wire drawing technology. For instance, it has already switched all lubricants to borax-free versions, with better performance in most cases, and has started to produce dry lubricants with total usage to reduce disposal costs. Traxit is also developing lubricants with constant viscosity at high temperature, to reduce the friction temperature inside the die, and is working on special lubricants for high drawing performance with anti-friction for extended die life and higher productivity.
