Abstract:
The present invention provides a rolling apparatus comprising a movable member which can undergo rotary or linear motion, a support member which carries the movable member, rolling elements which are interposed between the movable member and the support member and which roll with the movement of the movable member, and a lubricant composition which is disposed between the movable member on which the rolling elements roll and the support member, wherein the lubricant composition is a mixture of (1) a thickening agent which is at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid fluoropolymer, a lamellar mineral powder, an ultrafinely particulate organic material, an organic solid lubricant and an ultrafinely particulate inorganic material, and (2) a base oil comprising a liquid fluorinated polymer oil.
Abstract:
Low bleed silicone grease compositions are prepared by blending high viscosity silicone oils with filler materials and/or silicone elastomers. Greases comprise three main types: I) grease comprising high viscosity silicone oil and filler material, II) grease comprising high viscosity silicone oil and silicone elastomer, and III) grease comprising high molecular weight silicone oil and filler material and silicone elastomer.
Abstract:
Organoclay compositions which comprise the reaction product of a smectite-type clay having an ion exchange capacity of at least 50 meq. wt. per 100 g. clay (active basis), and a branched chain quaternary ammonium compound are useful self-activating and self-dispersing additives to liquid organic systems such as grease and ink formulations. Also included are grease and ink formulations using these organoclay compositions.

These make useful coatings.The instantly reversible fluidization of these unique elastic solids may be expressed as:.tau.=ka.epsilon.,When .epsilon.
Abstract:
A water washable thermally conductive grease useful for thermal coupling of electronic chips and heat sinks in electronic modules comprises a hydrophilic alkylene oxide modified silicone carrier, and up to 90 weight percent of a microparticulate thermally conductive filler. In a preferred embodiment, the thixotropic dielectric composition further comprises an antioxidant and an ionic surfactant to promote wetting/dispersion of the microparticulate filler. The thermally conductive grease is non-corrosive, resistant to shear induced phase destabilization and capable of being washed from module surfaces with aqueous solutions. Substitution of the present hydrophilic based greases for art-recognized solvent washable greases eliminates use of non-aqueous solvents in electronic module processing/reprocessing operations.
