Abstract:
A powdered chemical mixture for lubricating photoreceptors, wiper blades, doctor blades and slide seals used on dry toner printers, copiers, and facsimile machines. The dry powder comprises a mica group mineral wet-ground to attain cold, dry lubricity, resiliency and particle alignment. The wet-ground mica-group mineral may be coated by calcium stearate to increase lubricity and reduce static electricity from the photoreceptor and blades during operation of the machine. The optimum powder would be comprised of 99% by weight mica-group mineral and 1% by weight calcium stearate. Muscovite and phlogopite are mica-group minerals suggested for use in the lubricating powder. The calcium stearate could also be used with powdered lubricants other than mica to reduce static electricity during operation of the machines.
Abstract:
Disclosed are electrorheological fluids including vermiculite treated with an amine salt, methods of making the same, propylene carbonate adsorbed on the solid phase, butyl benzoate added for the liquid phase, and methods of using frequency response of electrorheological fluids to vary apparent viscosity and to compensate for temperature.
Abstract:
Lubricant for use in hot forming of steel at high temperatures and especially in the production of seamless tubes in so-called multiple pipe mills, in which the lubricant must adhere water-resistant to the tool. This is achieved by a lubricant containing, besides a solid lubricant and a thickening agent, a binding agent from the series of the carboxylated styrene-butadiene latices.
Abstract:
Fine particles of gallium or gallium alloy that are covered with a coating agent on the surface can be dispersed in a solvent such as an engine oil, n-hexane, etc., to make a variety of useful liquid suspensions which include a modified automotive engine oil, which is superior to a commercial engine oil; a liquid ski wax which is portable in a cylindrical container; and the like.
Abstract:
A novel organophilic clay suspension medium prepared by admixing an organophilic clay with a hydrocarbon oil and an activator selected from the group consisting of phenyl hydroxyalkyl ethers and phenylalkanols. Optionally water may be added to the admixture for further improving the suspension medium.
Abstract:
Hydroxyfunctional carboxamide compounds of formula I ##STR1## are included in thixotropic formulations containing highly disperse silica as a thickening or thixotroping component in order to activate the silica or enhance its effect, to amerliorate any tendency of the silica to settle and/or to prevent weakening of the thixotroping effect of SiO.sub.2 in formulations which themselves form relatively strong hydrogen bonds. The compounds of formula I may be added to silica-containing thixotropic liquid formulations to improve the thixotropy, or highly disperse silica may be coated with such compounds for later incorporation into liquid systems to render them thixotropic.
Abstract:
An adhesive grease composition comprises a random copolymer of ethylene and an alpha-olefin having the following formula ##STR1## wherein R represents a lower alkyl group, x and y are, respectively, an integer provided that x/y=0.5 to 2.0 and x+y=50 to 150, and a thickening agent in defined amounts.

Abstract:
Novel compositions useful as fluid gelling agents, especially for use in subterranean applications such as drilling fluids, are prepared by reacting an aqueous dispersion of a clay, such as bentonite, with an aqueous gel of a monodispersed mixed metal layered hydroxide of the formula Li.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH).sub.(m+2d+3+na) A.sub.a.sup.n, where D is a divalent metal, such as Mg, T is a trivalent metal, such as Al, and A represents other monovalent or polyvalent anions, the formula being described in detail in the disclosure.
