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.
The company offers sodium soaps with a large and special shape
of grain size to reduce dust contamination around the drawing
line, as well as lubricants for pressure dies (hydrodynamic
lubrication).
Further details can be found when the company exhibits at wire
2016 in Düsseldorf, Germany, in April.
