Abstract:
A process for lubricating a container, such as a beverage container, or a conveyor for containers, by applying to the container or conveyor, a thin continuous, substantially non-dripping layer of a liquid lubricant. The process provides many advantages compared to the use of a conventional dilute aqueous lubricant.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a beverage surfactant composition that includes a surfactant, a phosphonium compound, and a carrier; wherein the beverage surfactant composition exhibits stability as a solution or as a dispersion at a temperature of about 0 EC to about 8 EC. The present invention also provides a container or a conveyor for a container having a surface that is at least partially coated with the composition. The present invention also provides a process for lubricating a container that includes contacting at least a portion of a surface of the container and the composition together. The present invention also provides a process for lubricating a conveyor that includes contacting at least a portion of a surface of the conveyor and the composition together.
Abstract:
A succinated triglyceride oil derived from maleating triglyceride oil from a plant or land animal is described for use as an emulsifying agent for metalworking fluids. The metalworking fluid would comprise water; as an emulsifier this succinated triglyceride, optionally further reacted with water, Group IA and IIA metals, ammonium hydroxide, various amines, alkanolamines, alkoxylated alkanolamines, and polyamines to form a modified emulsifier; and optionally an oil and other additives.
Abstract:
The invention involves a composition for forming a combined conversion and lubricating coating on a metal substrate with which the composition is brought into contact. The composition comprises (a) an oxyethylated aliphatic alcohol whose aliphatic hydrocarbon moiety contains 18 or more carbon atoms and (b) dissolved phosphate anions. Preferably the composition also comprises inorganic boron, an alkali metal salt of a fatty acid, and an accelerator for phosphate coating.
Abstract:
Polymeric nanoemulsions facilitate flow and reduce drag and friction in multiphase pipelines containing both oil and water (e.g., oil/water, oil/water/gas, oil/water/solids, and oil/water/gas/solids) such as are used for oil or gas production, gathering, and transmission; hydrotransport of oilsand or heavy oil slurries and the like. Specific examples of suitable drag reducing polymers include polyacrylamide. The emulsions have a hydrocarbon external phase, droplets of an aqueous internal phase having water-soluble polymer dissolved therein, where the droplets have an average particle size below about 200 nm, and at least one surfactant to form a stable nanoemulsion. The nanoemulsions advantageously have a low viscosity of about 200 cP or less.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an emulsion composition containing (a) a first phase with (i) an oil soluble inert medium; and (ii) an emulsifier capable of forming a water-in-oil emulsion; and (b) a second phase with (i) a metal base; (ii) an aqueous medium; and (iii) optionally a compound containing two or more hydroxyl groups, wherein a base in the form of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate; or combinations thereof; and wherein the emulsion composition has a flow rate through a 45 μm filter of more than 8 ml/min in a filterability test carried out at ambient temperature and 45 kPa applied vacuum; wherein the filter has diameter of 5 cm and a mesh size of about 45 μm; and wherein the oil soluble inert medium in the filtration test is an oil of lubricating viscosity of a SAE 50 base oil. The invention further provides a method of preparing the emulsion composition and its use in a marine engine.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to conveyor lubricant compositions including an emulsion of a lipophilic compound and also including an emulsifier and/or an anionic surfactant. The present invention also relates to methods employing such lubricant compositions. In an embodiment, the method includes applying the present lubricant composition to a conveyor with a non-energized nozzle.
Abstract:
The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts and with relatively low or no water content, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a friction control composition comprising a binder a rheological control agent, and optionally a lubricant. The liquid friction control composition may also comprise other components a wetting agent, a consistency modifier, and a preservative. The liquid friction control compositions may be used to modify the interfacial friction characteristics in sliding and rolling-sliding contact such as steel wheel-rail systems including mass transit and freight systems. A method of reducing lateral force, reducing energy consumption, or controlling friction between a metal surface and a second metal surface by applying the composition to metal surface, for example a top of rail or wheel, is also provided. The composition may be sprayed onto the rail surface.
