Automotive R.S.Clare supplies a full range of advanced lubricants to meet the requirements and demands of the worldwide Automotive industry. For many years we have worked in partnership with companies such as Ford, GM, Landrover, Jaguar, Lear, JCI and many others providing solutions to the very demanding applications presented to these companies. High performance Clare lubricants are available for body engineering applications including window regulators, locks, hinges, sun roofs and for chassis & drivetrain applications, for example constant velocity joints. Our high performance lubricants provide additional noise damping qualities for 'metal to plastic' and 'plastic to plastic' component assemblies. We have an extensive data base available for the determination of lubricants compatibility to specific plastics and polymers. Clare’s engineering field staff and laboratory based chemists are available to undertake complex and demanding briefs from the automotive industry, for example a fuel resistant grease for fuel filler locks. R.S. Clare & Co. Ltd and Carl Bechem G.m.b.H, Europe's leading developers and manufacturers of high performance lubricants for the Automotive industry, are strengthening our partnership built over the past 30 years. We are joining together, both in the UK and worldwide, to offer advanced technology solutions meeting the needs of OEM's and component manufacturers.  Please click the link below fro more information on Bechem's products. Research & development projects are under way to resolve noise quality related issues, provide drivetrain advances and supply dry film lubricants for applications on elastomers and plastics, removing the need for traditional lubricants. A new € 50,000 'stick - slip' test facility will enable us to record data on the frictional relationship between materials used in modern body environments. In turn, enabling our customers to select the optimum materials without the need for in-house R&D or indeed costly remedial work associated with warranty type issues.
