Water-miscible cooling lubricants are a crucially important element of demanding metal machining processes. In nature, life cannot exist without water – but the water, mineral oil and emulsifiers used in machine tools can turn them into ideal incubators. Up to now, chemicals such as boron, amines, fungicides or bactericides have had to be regularly used to check this persistent growth. The need for such “chemical bludgeons” is now over!
Ladybugs (the Coccinellidae family of beetles) eat up 50 greenfly a day. These useful beetles are also bred for use in biological pest control. Tresor PMC® has taken its cue from this model provided by nature.
Motorex presents a world first: Swisscool Tresor PMC® (Precious Metal Catalyst) – the first cooling lubricant concentrate that impedes and sustainably limits bacterial growth using bioactive precious metals instead of biocides. How PMC® Technology Works When the coolant circuit of a machine tool is filled with Motorex Tresor PMC®, a precious metal catalyst – the patented BacCrack® from Motorex – hunts down and eradicates bacteria. Tiny particulates of precious metal that are invisible to the naked eye float suspended in the cooling lubricant flow. Bacteria that these particulates encounter along the way are promptly destroyed by catalytic action. Thanks to these ever-present, finely dispersed precious metal catalysts, undesirable bacteria populations never have a chance. Machine operators can breathe a deep of sigh of relief. And because precious metal always remains a precious metal, its catalytic effect does not weaken over time, a feature that significantly lengthens coolant life.
The formula for Motorex Tresor PMC® contains no substances that are hazardous to humans or the environment. Not only is this cooling lubricant entirely
- boron-free
- bactericide-free
- fungicide-free
- amine-free, and
- chlorine-free,
it has also been ranked in the product category least hazardous to water quality, Water Hazard Class 1. This innovative formula already satisfies the even more stringent EU biocide regulations scheduled to come into force as of 2014.
