OKS supplies plant engineers, equipment operators, craftsmen, maintenance professionals, and process engineers with the products they need for cleaning, degreasing and protection of surfaces against abrasion, wear and corrosion.

At the cutting edge of lubricant development
The world of lubrication technology is undergoing a rapid transition, driven by increasing demands for efficiency, economy and reliability and the growing need of industry for products that are straightforward to use and dispose of in accordance with the requirements of environmental compatibility and workplace safety, while at the same time being suitable for use with modern materials such as ceramics and plastics. Close collaboration between the in-house development and production departments means that OKS can rapidly implement new technologies as market-ready products. One recent example of this kind of development is a fully-synthetic oil that is suitable for continuous use at temperatures down to -60 °C. This oil is physiologically safe and is ideal for use with conveyor chains in cold stores and blast chillers for foodstuffs.
