Abstract:
An overbased calcium sulfonate grease composition comprising a reduced amount of overbased calcium sulfonate, calcium hydroxyapatite, base oil, one or more converting agents, and one or more complexing acids if a complex grease is desired. The calcium sulfonate grease composition improves thickener yield and expected high temperature utility as demonstrated by dropping point. A method of making the composition comprising the steps of mixing the calcium sulfonate and base oil, adding the calcium carbonate either before or after conversion, adding one or more converting agents, and adding one or more complexing acids. All or a portion of one or more of the complexing acids may be added with or prior to the one or more converting agents.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include compositions of calcium/lithium complex greases containing calcium/lithium soaps having a high calcium fraction and complexing agents, encapsulated constant velocity shafts containing such lubricating greases and the use of the lubricating greases in encapsulated shafts of constant velocity shafts.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to offer a lubricating composition with excellent heat resistance, mechanical stability, water resistance, corrosion resistance, load resistance and flame resistance. To this end the present invention suggests that from 2 to 68% by weight of tricalcium phosphate relative to the total composition is added to a base oil, which may be a mineral oil and/or a synthetic oil. Surfactants are further added, and the whole is thoroughly mixed and kneaded to give a semi-solid lubricating composition. For the surfactants, non-ionic surfactants are most suitable, and fatty acid esters such as glycerine fatty acid esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters and sucrose fatty acid esters may be used. The amount used is from 0.2 to 18% by weight relative to the total composition.
Abstract:
A grease composition containing: (a) the reaction product of: (i) a calcium containing overbased organic acid; and (ii) at least one acid producing compound or derivatives thereof selected from the group consisting of: (1) a non-polymeric hydrocarbyl substituted dicarbonyl derivative selected from the group consisting of an acid, an ester, a salt, an anhydride, ester-acid, acid-salt and mixtures thereof; (2) a copolymer derived from monomers containing (1) an olefin; and (2) an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride or derivatives thereof; and (3) an inorganic acid containing about 2 or more acidic hydrogens; and (b) an oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein the overbased calcium sulphonate contains colloidally dispersed calcium carbonate is selected from the group consisting of calcite, vaterite and mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to the process to make the composition and its use in greases to increase water resistance.

The present invention provides a grease composition which is excellent in peel resistance, not to mention lubricity, as compared with the prior art products. A novel grease composition for rolling bearing is provided, comprising a base oil, an extender, an inorganic compound-based filler having an average particle diameter of not more than 2 &mgr;m and zinc dithiocarbamate.
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.
