We pride ourselves on developing strong collaborative relationships with our customers, many of which are Fortune 500 companies.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The specific selection and design of metalworking fluids will optimize performance in most metalworking processes. The more challenging the metalworking process is, the greater the benefit that is derived from using a metalworking fluid designed specifically for the application. For this reason our technical staff works closely with customers and thoroughly reviews each application before making a recommendation. Our solutions can involve modifying products from our product line or custom engineering new products to achieve optimal performance for our customers. It is not unusual for the resulting savings to be greater than the cost of the metalworking fluid.  Clark Oil is continuously investing in new technologies to keep our customers at the cutting edge of metalworking performance. Our full service on-site laboratory supports our sales and customer service efforts to provide our customers with creative, engineered solutions for their metalworking needs. We believe exceptional service and performance are critical to building strong and mutually beneficial partnerships with our customers.

CUTTING AND GRINDING OILS

Clark produces and develops numerous straight cutting and grinding oils. Our proprietary formulas utilize quality base stocks and finely balanced additive technologies in order to deliver superior performance to your metalworking operation. A century’s worth of experience has resulted in a line of products able to tackle stainless steel, hard and brittle steels, gummy aluminum alloys, and even non-reactive nickel alloys with relative ease.Our cutting and grinding oils are formulated with extreme pressure additives that reduce the cutting force needed to machine tough alloys. Anti-weld additives reduce edge build-up on tools and aid in metal removal at the part-tool interface. All of this helps to create increased tool life for our customers. High quality part-finish and interim corrosion protection are standard attributes of all our cutting and grinding oils. Anti-misting and low odor technology provide improvements to the work environment.  Clark has oils designed to machine nonferrous yellow metals without staining. Clark also has grinding oils compatible with all common grinding stones.

THE CLARK DIFFERENCE

Clark understands the factors that affect cutting and grinding oils in the field. Typically, this starts with understanding what machine the oil is going to be used with. For instance, many screw machines leak machine lubricant oils into cutting oil sumps, which dilute the sump and greatly reduce the effectiveness of the product. A dual-purpose cutting oil, which can be used in the lubrication side of the machine as well as the cut side, resolves dilution issues to allow consistent product performance. At Clark, we strive to form close relationships with machinists and plant managers in order to fully understand your operation and select the most effective product possible.

MACHINE LUBRICANTS

Clark provides the full spectrum of machine lubricants, including hydraulic oils, machine oils, way oils, compressor oils, gear oils, and greases.

HYDRAULIC OILS

The hydraulic oils produced by Clark are formulated with premium base stocks and anti-wear additives. They possess outstanding oxidation and thermal stability properties, are formulated to resist foaming, provide superior rust protection on system components, and release entrained air which can help reduce variability in machining operations.  While Clark’s hydraulic oils are designed to handle severe hydraulic applications, they are specifically formulated to satisfy the many lubrication needs of metalworking equipment, including internal gears and bearings. Our hydraulic oils are high performance lubricants. Clark also offers leak resistant hydraulic oils which utilize cutting edge nano-technology.

MACHINE OILS

Clark offers high grade machine oils made from premium base stocks. Our line of machine oils provides the lubricity needed to keep your operation running smoothly, regardless of your machine’s age.

COMPRESSOR OIL

Clark’s air compressor oils are compounded from closely fractionated solvent-refined mid-continent stocks. These products are fortified with a balanced additive system which provides long life and trouble free operations, including good oxidation stability, anti-rusting, non-foaming, and anti-wear properties.
