Polairoil / Polaroil is a French brand of industrial oils and greases produced from the beginning of the XXᵉ century in Issoudun by the Brault-Poisson establishments. Aimed at the automotive, aviation and industrial sectors, it stood out for its "polar" marketing identity (white bear, an evocative name) with no real link to the Arctic. The brand was renamed Polaroil before 1939.
Note the letters referring to the different types of oil, forming part of the word "P.O.L.A.I" (Polar).
