Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to greases containing metal sulfonate thickeners. In one example the thickener may be a calcium sulfonate thickener. In other examples grease may contain a combination of a metal sulfonate thickener and another thickener, such as a metal complex soap grease, detergent, or non-soap thickener. The grease may be formulated to meet specific performance criteria relevant to lubrication of a roller cone drill bit in downhole conditions. The disclosure also relates to a roller cone drill bit containing a grease of the disclosure.
Abstract:
A composition is disclosed which comprises an aryl perfluoropolyether, optionally a halogenated oil, and further optionally a thickening agent. The composition can be used as a lubricant itself or as an additive to an oil or grease lubricant and can withstand temperatures higher than 300° C. without decomposition. The halogenated oil can be a perfluoropolyether, a fluorosilicone, a polytrifluorochloroethylene, or combinations of two or more thereof. The thickening agent can be finely divided silica, boron nitride, clay, soap, poly(tetrafluoroethylene), clay, talc, silica, titanium dioxide, polydimethylsiloxane, polyurea, polyurethane, or combinations of two or more thereof.
Abstract:
Lubricating grease compositions have a titanium complex grease component along with a mineral/synthetic oil-based component and a conventional soap or grease. The conventional soaps and greases may be lithium complex, calcium sulfonate, or aluminum complex-based, among others, with and without additives. The compositions are high performance geases, exhibiting improved drop point, extreme pressure, antiwear, oil separation, and shelf life properties.
Abstract:
Provided is a grease composition with a long service life under high-temperature conditions, considerable low-evaporability, and incombustibility.The invention provides a grease composition comprising, as a base oil, an ionic liquid formed of a cation and an anion and having an ion concentration of 1 mol/dm3 or more as measured at 20° C., and a thickener having a dropping point of 260° C. or higher.
Abstract:
A composition for a lubricating fast-setting epoxy compound comprising substantially equal amounts of an epoxy base and an epoxy accelerator. The epoxy base comprises: a first micro-crystalline filler, a first talc, a hardenable epoxide containing liquid; and a titanium oxide. The epoxy base can also include a flatting agent. The epoxy accelerator comprises: a second micro-crystalline filler, a second talc, a methylamino accelerator, and a hydrocarbon resin. The epoxy accelerator can also include a modified aliphatic amine, an acrylic resin, a coloring agent, or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for distributing a cable-pulling composition onto a cable as it is being pulled through a conduit. In one embodiment, the cable pulling composition is a block of an enhanced composition, e.g., consisting essentially of boron nitride that facilitates the pulling of cables through conduits. The invention further relates to a method for pulling cables through conduits by applying an effective amount of boron nitride composition onto the cable surface through the use of the cable-pulling apparatus of the invention.
Abstract:
The rolling bearing of the invention to be incorporated in the compressor for fuel cell system comprises a fluorine-based grease containing a fluororesin and a fluorine-based oil, a urea grease containing a urea compound and a synthetic oil or a lithium complex grease containing a lithium complex and a synthetic oil encapsulated therein. In this arrangement, the grease deterioration of the rolling bearing incorporated in the compressor for force-feeding various fluids between machines can be prevented, making it possible to provide a fuel cell system which can maintain stable operation over an extended period of time.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a friction control composition comprising a binder a rheological control agent, and optionally a lubricant. The liquid friction control composition may also comprise other components a wetting agent, a consistency modifier, and a preservative. The liquid friction control compositions may be used to modify the interfacial friction characteristics in sliding and rolling-sliding contact such as steel wheel-rail systems including mass transit and freight systems. A method of reducing lateral force, reducing energy consumption, or controlling friction between a metal surface and a second metal surface by applying the composition to metal surface, for example a top of rail or wheel, is also provided. The composition may be sprayed onto the rail surface.
Abstract:
A lubricant for a run-flat tire system includes a water soluble, or water-miscible carrier, a thickener, and a surfactant. The thickener hereof retains its rheological properties and is not subject to permanent thinning shear. The base fluid is, preferably, a water-soluble polyhydroxyl or other polyhydric compound and the thickener is preferably a clay. When admixed with a surfactant and, optionally, a lubricity agent, the lubricant exhibits long term stability and (is resistant to heat buildup.) prevents the buildup of heat in the tire assembly when the tire is in the run flat condition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of reducing the inhalation toxicity of functional fluids by incorporating into a functional fluid an effective amount of copolymer which is obtainable by copolymerizing etheylene oxide, propylene oxide and/or butylenes oxide with an initiator monool or diol, said copolymer having a degree of unsaturation of less than about 0.01 meq/g.
