Abstract:
A part is made of a material comprising less than 90% by weight of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, nitrile, fluoroelastomer, and polyphenylene sulfide; and more than 10% by weight of another material, comprising about 15% to 60% by volume of grains of titanium carbide dispersed through a metal matrix.
Abstract:
A fire-resistant grease comprises a fire-resistant base oil and graphitic carbon or oleophilic graphite as a thickener. Suitable base oils include fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, particularly phosphorus acid esters or amides and more particularly trihydrocarbyl phosphates. The graphitic carbon may be of the type described in U.K. Pat. No. 1,252,582 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,532,625) and the oleophilic graphite as described in U.K. Pat. No. 1,168,784 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,384,583). The thickener contact may be 1-20% wt of the grease, preferably 2-10% wt, and the grease may contain conventional additives.
Abstract:
An article of manufacture and a method are disclosed herein for improving lubricity and wear resistance of a given substrate by applying thereto a solution comprising a fluoroalkyl ester and an organic carrier. The compositions herein disclosed have been found to be most effective as preservatives for coating sundry substrates, especially gramophone or phonograph record surfaces whereby there is effected a reduction of record groove wear while substantially reducing the friction between the stylus and the record groove. A preferred composition herein contemplated and disclosed is one comprising a perfluoroalkyl ester of stearic acid and a halogenated hydrocarbon carrier.
Abstract:
Method and composition for improving lubricity, abrasion resistance, and lowering the coefficient of friction of substrates such as photographic film, magnetic surfaces and other recording elements by applying to such substrates a solution comprising tetrafluoroethylene telomer and a copolymer of vinyl chloride and trifluorochloroethylene in a volatile solvent, drying and removing the excess, and substrates so lubricated.
