Abstract:
Asbestiform crystalline calcium M phosphate, where M is sodium or lithium, having a length to average diameter ratio of at least 5:1, can be prepared by forming a melt of a source of oxygen, calcium, phosphorus and M having a mole ratio of about 15 percent to about 30 percent M.sub.2 O, about 48 percent to about 60 percent P.sub.2 O.sub.5 and about 20 percent to about 37 percent CaO, cooling the melt within the range of about 500.degree. C. to about 750.degree. C. for a sufficient time to permit blocks of calcium M phosphate to form, and fiberizing the blocks into the asbestiform crystals. Such asbestiform crystalline calcium M phosphates are useful to prepare composites of organic polymeric materials.

Abstract:
A slurry composition for use as a lubricant and/or a stable suspension medium to suspend inert organic or inorganic particles which is an aqueous or polar solvent carrier containing gel particles as a lubricating and suspending agent for inert organic or inorganic particles. The composition can contain inorganic salts to provide additional electrostatic repulsion.
Abstract:
A grease composition comprising a grease containing, in a base oil thereof, from 2 to 40% by weight, based on the total composition, of tricalcium phosphate [Ca₃(PO₄)₂], the grease further containing (A) from 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the total composition, of a molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate sulfide and (B) from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the total composition, of at least one of a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate and triphenyl phosphorothionate. The grease composition is excellent in mechanical stability, heat resistance, extreme pressure properties, and wear resistance.
