Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drilling fluid additive for improving lubricity or rate of penetration (ROP) in a drilling operation, such as an oil and gas drilling operation. The additive comprises particles of wax or waxy substance, or a mixture of two or more types of said particles having distinct properties, such as particle size, type of wax or waxy substance, melt point, solubility, dissolution rate, hardness, shape, blocking ability, or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the additive is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. The invention also relates to a drilling fluid comprising the drilling fluid additive of the invention. A method of improving lubricity or increasing ROP in a drilling operation is also provided, as well as a use of particles of wax or waxy substance or mixture thereof as a drilling fluid additive for improving lubricity or increasing ROP in a drilling operation.
Abstract:
A composition that includes solid lubricant nanoparticles and an organic medium is disclosed. Also disclosed are nanoparticles that include layered materials. A method of producing a nanoparticle by milling layered materials is provided. Also disclosed is a method of making a lubricant, the method including milling layered materials to form nanoparticles and incorporating the nanoparticles into a base to form a lubricant.
Abstract:
According to the invention there is provided a method of reducing wear of one or both of two steel elements having surfaces in sliding or sliding-rolling contact. The method involves applying an HPF friction control composition to one, or more than one contacting surface of one or both of the two steel elements. In a particular example, the HPF friction control composition comprises a rheological control agent, a lubricant, a friction modifier, and one, or more than one of a retentivity agent, an antioxidant, a consistency modifier, and a freezing point depressant.

Abstract:
A water-based composition for protective film formation, characterized by containing a water-compatible inorganic salt and a smectite clay mineral. By merely applying the composition to a surface of a metallic material and drying it, a coating film can be formed which is less apt to have spots and is even, and is equal or superior in processability and seizing resistance to coating films formed by a chemical treatment. In the case where the composition further contains a lubricating ingredient, the coating film can further have improved lubricity.
Abstract:
Thixotropic, lubricious coatings (101) are provided on the web or surface area (38) surrounding a valve slit (36) or the like in medical, needleless coupling sites (10).

Abstract:
The invention generally relates to the protection of telecommunications and electrical devices, such as terminal blocks, with gelled oil compositions that employ aluminum complex soaps as gelling agents. The telecommunications devices are typically installed in an enclosure (10), filled with the gelled oil composition, to protect the device from moisture and corrosion. The gelled oils also include an oil component, a bleed inhibitor of polybutene, and optional amounts of antioxidant and pour point depressant.
Abstract:
A grease composition for use as a cable filling material which contains about 75 to 95 parts by weight of a base component of a liquid or semi-solid polyol having a molecular weight of at least 4000 and a reduced amount of mono-unsaturated compounds, about 1 to 15 parts by weight of a thickening agent such as colloidal particles of silica, and between 1 and 5 parts by weight of an antioxidant. Optionally, a thermoplastic elastomer can be added to improve bleed resistance.
