Pratap Tex-Chem Pvt. Ltd. (PTCPL), based in Pune, has grown from a textile business founded in 1979 into a trusted multi-sector manufacturer of metalworking fluids, industrial lubricants, and speciality greases. Since its formal incorporation in 1999, the company has built a strong reputation for performance-driven solutions that serve both domestic and export customers across demanding industrial applications.
With a modern manufacturing setup, an annual installed capacity of 6000 KL and a used capacity of 4800 KL, PTCPL combines scale with technical depth. Its advanced facility, in-house R&D and tribology laboratory, and quality-focused production systems support continuous innovation in speciality fluids designed for real shop-floor conditions.
Backed by a team of more than 100 skilled professionals and a growing pan-India as well as international reach, PTCPL continues to focus on solutions that improve productivity, reliability, and process consistency. For manufacturers in gears, automation, e-mobility, and precision machining, this means a partner that understands both the technical and practical side of metalworking.
At the heart of Pratap Tex-Chem’s growth is Lubeco Green Fluids, the flagship brand built for modern manufacturing needs. From metalworking fluids and neat cutting oils to rust preventives, VCI packaging, industrial lubricants, and surface cleaners, Lubeco delivers complete shop-floor support under one trusted name. With more than 150 product variants, it is designed to help manufacturers improve machining performance, protect components, and maintain cleaner, more efficient operations.
Alongside Lubeco Green Fluids, the company’s other brands strengthen its presence across multiple industries. Lubeco Futuristic Greases brings nano-technology driven performance for high-temperature, high-load, wire rope, conveyor, open gear, and synthetic lubrication needs, while Fluidmate focuses on smarter oil management, sump cleaning, filtration, and fluid health. Together, these brands reflect PTCPL’s approach of combining performance, reliability, and practical problem-solving for demanding industrial environments.
PTCPL also serves the automotive sector through Supergen, a brand built to meet the needs of OEMs, fleets, and dealers with engine oils, transmission and gear oils, coolants, brake fluids, and speciality lubricants. In agriculture and dairy, Krushagra offers biofertilizers, biopesticides, dairy cleaners, water-soluble fertilisers, and micronutrients, helping users improve productivity while supporting cleaner and more sustainable practices. This broad portfolio allows the company to address the needs of industry, mobility, and agriculture with the same focus on technical quality and trust.
In gear manufacturing, the smallest detail can make the biggest difference. Whether it is gear hobbing, shaping, shaving, deep hole drilling, or sliding head operations, manufacturers are constantly looking for a cutting fluid that can keep pace with higher speeds, tighter tolerances, and increasing productivity demands. Supercool Neat 250 XL is designed for exactly this environment — where clean cutting, stable performance, and reliable tool support are not optional, but essential.
This synthetic neat cutting fluid is formulated from GTL base oils with specially designed ester additives, giving it a strong balance of boundary lubrication and cooling performance. Unlike conventional mineral oil-based cutting fluids, Supercool Neat 250 XL is mineral oil-free, low viscosity, and built with a high viscosity index, which helps maintain performance even under demanding cutting conditions. For manufacturers working with modern gear processes and precision components, that translates into smoother machining and better control over heat generation.
One of the key strengths of Supercool Neat 250 XL is its versatility across critical applications. It is suitable for deep hole drilling, thread tapping, rolling, turning, fastener manufacturing, gear hobbing, cutting, shaping, shaving, mist lubrication, and bar cutting in sliding head machines. In practical terms, that means one fluid can support multiple shop-floor operations while helping reduce the need for frequent product changes and process interruptions.
What makes this product especially relevant for gear and transmission manufacturers is the way it supports clean and stable machining. Its excellent heat transfer property helps control temperature during cutting, while its low viscosity improves fluidity and chip removal. The fluid also offers almost zero smoke formation, which improves operator comfort and helps maintain a cleaner work environment around the machine. The clear-to-pale yellow appearance gives better workpiece visibility, which is always valuable when precision and inspection matter.
Another important benefit is its smooth cutting action. By reducing vibration and noise levels, Supercool Neat 250 XL supports more stable machining, especially in high-speed and precision applications. Its non-sticky nature also helps minimise carry-over losses, while excellent thermal stability supports longer and more consistent performance in the system. For shops looking to improve productivity without compromising cleanliness or operator ease, these features create a meaningful difference.
In the end, machining is not only about removing metal. It is about protecting tools, maintaining accuracy, improving finish quality, and creating a smoother experience for the people running the machines every day. Supercool Neat 250 XL brings that mindset into one fluid — practical, clean, and engineered for the pace of modern gear production.
Success Story: Bringing Stability to Precision Grinding
In precision grinding, small process variations can create big problems. For manufacturers supplying the gear and power transmission industry, even a slight rise in noise, vibration, or surface inconsistency can lead to rejection at the quality stage and affect customer confidence. One leading multinational manufacturer of precision camshaft components in Pune faced exactly this challenge while grinding on advanced German grinding machines.
During final inspection, several components were failing the Noise Analyser test due to values crossing the acceptable range. This created pressure not only on production output but also on export-quality acceptance. After closely studying the grinding process, machine behaviour, and fluid performance, the application team identified the need for a more stable lubrication chemistry that could support both cooling and boundary lubrication under high-precision conditions.
That is where SUPERCOOL NEAT 250 XL made the difference. Developed as a synthetic neat cutting fluid with GTL base oils and specially designed ester additives, it was implemented after detailed trials to improve EP lubricity, process stability, and grinding consistency. The result was a more controlled machining environment with better surface finish, reduced residue formation, and improved cleanliness around the machine.
Results That Mattered
The impact was visible on the shop floor and in QC. With SUPERCOOL NEAT 250 XL, the customer achieved better grinding stability, lower noise analyser rejection levels, and more consistent acceptance in the required QC range. The process also became more reliable during continuous production cycles, helping reduce rework pressure and support smoother output.

Why This Matters
Today’s manufacturing environment demands more than just cutting performance. It requires fluids that support precision, cleanliness, and repeatability — especially in applications like gear grinding, camshaft grinding, carbide grinding, honing, and high-speed machining. SUPERCOOL NEAT 250 XL fits this need by helping manufacturers move closer to consistent quality without compromising productivity.
For industries moving toward automation and e-mobility, this kind of fluid support is no longer optional. It becomes a practical contributor to component reliability, lower rejection rates, and better process control. SUPERCOOL NEAT 250 XL is built with that reality in mind — helping manufacturers keep quality stable when the margin for error is extremely small.
