Within the industry sector, products for cutting are one of the core business activities. Being precise, fast and working in a cost-efficient way is very important in this field. Therefore many companies operating in the demanding professional metalworking market use products from Motorex’s Swissline such as cooling lubricants or cutting oil.
In summer 2010 Motorex produced a world first in cooling lubricants. SWISSCOOL TRESOR PMC (Precious Metal Catalyst) is the first cooling lubricant concentrate that is able to control bacteria growth without using any problematic ingredients. The emulsion contains bioactive precious metal catalysts which impede and sustainably limit bacterial growth over long periods of time. This is not only important due to environmental reasons but also because skin irritations such as rashes are no longer a problem for users.
In addition, Motorex is selling hydraulic oils, gear oils, fork oil, brake fluids, cooling lubricants and clean & care products.
