RS Clare & Co Ltd was founded in Liverpool in 1748 by Richard S Clare at the start of the industrial revolution. We are the longest established company manufacturing lubricants in the United Kingdom.
RS Clare operate a Surface Coatings Division, making and applying antiskid surfaces and markings. Our Industrial Lubricants Division has built on our long experience in grease making by carving out niche markets for speciality products in Rail, Oil & Gas, Steel, Marine and Automotive industries throughout the world. Our Private Label Lubricants Division continues to manufacture conventional and non-conventional lubricants under customers' own brands.
As detailed in the application photograph, Plug Valves are used as compact, shut-off valves in a range of production equipment downstream of the production tree. Plug valves are designed to operate with a lubricant / sealant. When the lubricant is applied to the valve, it is distributed between the seating faces of the valve body and plug. The lubricant provides an integral sealing and corrosion preventative film. As the plug is covered by the lubricant over all surfaces, a smooth, controlled actuation is achieved over extended maintenance periods. Valve Lubricant 601 is used for the lubrication and sealing of Plug Valves. 601 has been field proven ts which may harden, resulting in leakage and exceptionally high actuation torques that can damage the valve stem. The use of 601 in plug valves has allowed operators to standardise on one lubricant product on all wellhead and downstream flow control with both gate and plug valves installed.
