Started in 1958 and Headquartered in Warminster, Pennsylvania, CRC® Industries is a global manufacturer and supplier of industrial chemical solutions for maintenance and repair operations on marine, electrical, industrial, automotive, and aviation equipment.

In this entry, we take a look at one of CRC’s most popular product lines for general equipment maintenance: CRC lubricant — a solution Ecolink improves on by supplying aerosol lubricants that deliver the same level of performance for a lower price (as much as 50% less).

Types of CRC Lubricant

CRC offers over 60 lubricant products — a number that includes different supply volumes (e.g. 2 gallons, 4 gallons, 6 gallons, etc.) — across the following categories: multi-purpose lubricant, multi-purpose precision lubricant, electrical silicone lubricant, chute lubricant, heavy duty silicone lubricant, multi-purpose lubricant and corrosion inhibitor, chain and wire rope lubricant, industrial high-performance lubricant, trailer bunk boards lubricant, anti rust and water pump lubricant, non-staining lubricant, cutting oil thread cutting lubricant, lubricant penetrant, thread lubricant, roll-up door lubricant, switchgear lubricant, adhesive chain lubricant, lock lubricant and de-icer, bar and chain lubricant, and lubricant with PTFE.

It’s quite a list. We understand if you don’t feel like reading it all. The point is to show what CRC offers for industrial lubricant needs. In doing so, we show the lubricant formulations we can provide to replace CRC lubricant for a lower price. If you use us as your lubricant replacement option, we’ll first see if we have a stock solution that meets your needs. If we don’t, creating a custom solution for your specific requirements is the next step.

Why the Lower Price?

CRC Industries is a solvent supplier like we are, and some of their well-formulated lubricants have a commendable safety profile. So, how can we offer lubricant that conforms to or outperforms CRC lubricant — and offers the same safety profile or better — for a lower price? The answer lies in how we evaluate solvent needs, taking a comprehensive approach that considers all cost factors.

By examining how you use solvent end-to-end — including solvent type, product packaging, method of application, storage considerations, and whether waste solvent is trapped or recycled — we can create a solution designed to be economical every possible respect. This why even our custom solutions are often more affordable than stock solutions you find at other suppliers.

In addition to replacing solutions from CRC, we routinely replace solutions from the following well-known suppliers: American Polywater® Corp, AsahiKlin AK-225®, Enviro Tech®, Inland Technology®, LPS®, MicroCare®, Miller Stephenson®, Petroferm®, Safety Kleen®, Selig Industries®, Tech Spray®, and Zep®.

Need Industrial Lubricant?

If you need an industrial lubricant, there’s a good chance that CRC or one of the companies above can meet your needs. There’s also a very good chance that Ecolink can meet your needs for a significantly lower price. This is why we invite you to call us today at (800) 563-1305, or use our contact form, to get started on selecting your next lubricant. We look forward to helping you save!
