Our Story

It started with a stubborn engine, an exhausted machinist, and one critical question: Why should anyone have to choose between performance and safety?

Clyde Ritter, a machinist and pilot, knew firsthand the frustration of mechanical parts wearing out prematurely due to inferior lubrication. Instead of settling, he dug deeper, eventually pioneering groundbreaking bio-synthetic lubricants and additives designed to outperform and outlast traditional options without compromising on safety or sustainability.

What We Make

PlanetSafe Lubricants creates uncompromisingly effective lubricants, greases, and additives that protect your tools, your equipment, and our planet.

Formulated with advanced ionic and nano-technology, our products lubricate, actively clean, protect, and preserve. Dustproof, waterproof, grime-resistant—our lubricants keep your gear running smoother, cooler, quieter, and longer.

Why We Do It

We refused to accept the false choice between high performance and environmental responsibility. Too many products relied on toxic aerosols, corrosive chemicals, or short-lived formulas. So we engineered something better: lubricants powerful enough for professional demands yet safe enough for your family and pets.

Who We Are

We’re proudly veteran-owned, deeply science-driven, and based in St. George, Utah. Our founders, Thomas Quigley, PhD, and Clyde Ritter, combined decades of technical expertise and real-world experience to create lubricants trusted by mechanics, pilots, landscapers, and industry leaders worldwide.

Proven Performance

Our products are endorsed by mechanics who demand longevity, landscapers who rely on smooth-running equipment, and major brands like Amtrak, Sector 9, Hobie Cat, and Goat Tuff Archery. PlanetSafe Lubricants are made proudly in the USA and backed by patents and rigorous scientific research.
