Traxit Wire Lubrication - World’s first vegan certification of dry drawing lubricants

Traxit Wire Lubrication, a brand of Klüber Lubrication GmbH, is the world’s leading drawing agents’ manufacturer and upstream supplier for spring production. Recently, the company has been the first in the world to receive vegan certification for dry drawing lubricants by the British organization The Vegan Society, setting a new standard in the wire drawing industry.

Vegan products do not contain any animal ingredients or components, and their use is a hotly debated topic in the furniture industry. Although there is a strong trend toward the use of plant-based products in current wire drawing materials, they do not yet have a proven 100 percent vegan basis. Traxit realized the development and test phase of its new vegan dry drawing lubricant in partnership with a well-known household spring manufacturer. The certification fulfills the following requirements:

1. No animal ingredients in the drawing materials: no animal product, by-product, or derivative may be used or have been used in the development and production of the raising agents and, if applicable, their ingredients.
2. No animal testing: no tests on (non-human) animals may be carried out in the development and manufacture of the products and, if applicable, their ingredients.
3. Cross-contamination: any potential cross-contamination with animal-derived ingredients must be avoided as far as possible.

This important certification gives Traxit the ability to:
• support its customers in achieving their own sustainability and ethical goals;
• support its customers in opening up new business areas, especially in the production of vegan mattresses and upholstered furniture, differentiating from the competition;
• give its customers more security through the trademark.
