PlanetSafe Lubricants is a Utah-based company formed by Thomas M. Quigley and Clyde G. Ritter for consulting, manufacturing, distributing, and marketing innovative technologies. PlanetSafe Lubricants provides fuel and lubricant additives for vehicle owners, industry, and home use. Our products include both bio-synthetic technologies resulting from years of research and development. Both the founders have technical and scientific backgrounds.

The primary products of PlanetSafe Lubricants are a direct result of Clyde Ritter’s research and development. Clyde’s background as a machinist and pilot led him on a quest to develop a better aircraft engine cam. Once created, patented, and put into service, the standard industry lifters wore out due to a lack of lubricity in the oils and weaknesses in the traditional industry lifters. As a result, Clyde launched research and development efforts to improve lifters and increase the performance of oils. Those efforts resulted in patented lifters and several patents for the current bio-synthetic additives offered by PlanetSafe Lubricants. Along the way, his research and development lead to additives for fuel and lubricants. Because of the non-toxic nature of our product lineup, we market them under PlanetSafe Lubricants.

PlanetSafe Lubricants are manufactured in St. George, Utah. Our product line-up includes fuel treatments for diesel and gasoline, oil treatments for both standard and synthetic oil and a line of specific and general purpose lubricants for home, shop and industry. Our bio-synthetic products are virtually odorless, non-toxic, non-hazardous and either very low on the flammability scale or not flammable at all.

Our products are available regionally in marine supply stores, industrial supply stores, Ace and True Value hardware stores, bicycle stores and more. Mechanics especially love our penetrating lubricants because of the effectiveness of our products over the competition. In addition they appreciate the odorless and non-toxic aspects of the lubricants. Landscapers love the fuel and oil treatments in their 2 and 4 stroke equipment. Their hedge trimmers, chainsaws and lawnmowers run quieter, smoother, cooler and start easier. In addition they have found our AIM lubricant outperforms every other product on the market. For more information about our products please see the PlanetSafe FAQ.

PlanetSafe Lubricants is currently developing OEM formulas to target vertical markets. If your company is a national or international manufacturer and you do not have a superior lubricant product to compliment your own product line please contact us. Amtrak, Sector 9, Hobie Cat, Goat Tuff Archery Products, Jerks Bike Shop and others have proven our lubricant to be superior in their industry. You could have the best lubricant in your industry.
