The present invention provides lubricant mixtures for use as base fluid in bearing grease comprising 25 to 90 percent w/w of a liquid ester having a viscosity at 40.degree. C. in the range 100 to 200 mm.sup.2 /s, and 75 to 10 percent w/w of a liquid poly-.alpha.-olefin having a viscosity at 100.degree. C. in the range 2 to 10 mm.sup.2 /s, and bearing grease compositions containing a major proportion of such lubricant mixtures, particularly such compositions containing a clay thickener.
Abstract:
Elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared, e.g., by combining liquid formulations with a crystalline mixed metal hydroxide conforming substantially to the formula Li.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH).sub.(m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) (A.sup.n).sub.a .multidot.xH.sub.2 O where m is amount of Li, d is amount of divalent metal D, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical of valence n and a is the amount of A, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration, if any. These make useful coatings. The instantly reversible fluidization of these unique elastic solids may be expressed as: .sigma.=k.sub..alpha. .epsilon. when .epsilon. F, (this equation represents a generalized form for the usual theological equations); for a cycle of .epsilon., -xF
Abstract:
This invention provides lubricant mixtures for use as base fluid in open-gear grease comprising 10% to 90% w of a liquid polybutene having a viscosity at 38.degree. C. in the range of 1,000 to 20,000 mm.sup.2 /s and a viscosity at 100.degree. C. in the range of 40 to 500 mm.sup.2 /s, and 10% to 90% of a liquid polyalphaolefin having a viscosity at 38.degree. C. in the range of 10 to 75 mm.sup.2 /s and a viscosity at 100.degree. C. in the range of 2 to 15 mm.sup.2 /s, and open-gear grease compositions containing a major proportion of such lubricant mixtures.
Abstract:
Encapsulating particles of solid thiocarbonate salts, esters and complexes with air- and water-impermiable coatings produces compositions having long-term stability.
Abstract:
A lubricating grease exhibits good lubricating performance in a hot and high-vacuum environment, and contains an alkyl substituted tetraphenylether as a base oil having incorporated therein bentonite as a thickener and at least one solid lubricant selected from the group consisting of molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprising (a), a water-based lubricant which comprises a substantially oil-free, aqueous, emulsion-free composition of a matter comprising a major amount of water, a minor but effective amount of at least one substantially water-insoluble oil-soluble functional additive stably dispersed therein, and a minor but effective amount of at least one substantially water-soluble, liquid organic dispersing agent which is capable of dissolving the functional additive and of stably dispersing the functional additive in the composition, (b), a particulate solid lubricant suspended in the water-based lubricant and uniformly dispersed therethrough, and (c), a thixotropic thickener which maintains the solid lubricant in suspension in the water-based lubricant.
Abstract:
A composition which comprises (a) a salt of monovalent metal (M) of a carboxylic acid in which the COOH group is attached to a ring atom of a fused ring system and (b) a grease which is a non-soap thickened oil which may be a mineral oil or a synthetic oil such as a silicone oil. The metal (M) may be sodium. The fused ring system is preferably a fused aromatic hydrocarbon ring system such as naphthalene and may include further substituents, for example an -OH group, in addition to the COOH group. If the acid contains both OH and COOH groups, these can be attached to adjacent atoms of the fused ring system. Sodium 2-naphthoate and sodium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate have been found to be particularly suitable. The grease has improved corrosion resistance and the addition of the metal compound does not result in destructing of the grease.
Abstract:
Additives comprising an adduct of a calcium salt of a thiocarbonic acid and calcium hydroxide are useful in lubricants to enhance both the extreme pressure/anti-wear and anti-oxidation capabilities thereof. The lubricants are preferably oils of lubricating viscosity, which may be thickened to a grease-like consistency with one or more oil thickeners and contain from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of said adduct.
Abstract:
A solid lubricating material consisting essentially of an intimate mixture of about 15 to 50 mole percent molybdenum trioxide, balance molybdenum disulfide. This material is particularly useful under extreme environmental conditions such as very high temperature or vacuum. The material may be used in powder form, compacted into a pellet or other desired shape, incorporated into a grease composition or incorporated into a resin-bonded solid film lubricant.
