Abstract:
A swellable layer silicate is described based on smectite or sepiolite/palygorskite for use in media containing di- or polyvalent cations that reduce swellability, characterized by a swelling volume of about 5 to 50 mL, measured by addition of 2 g layer silicate (air-dried) to 100 mL water, and by a fineness of maximum 5 wt. % >40 μm and maximum 20% >20 μm, as dry sieve residue.
Abstract:
An anti-seize composition which is non-flowable and dimensionally stable at temperatures greater than about 120° F. and dispensable at room temperature without the application of heat is provided. The composition includes a solid anti-seize lubricant, such as of metallic copper, metallic nickel, metallic aluminum, metallic lead, metallic zinc, graphite, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium fluoride, calcium stearate, lithium, molybdenum disulfide, boron nitride, barium sulfate. or combinations thereof. The anti-seize lubricant is dispersed in a carrier which is a solid at about room temperature. The carrier includes a grease with an ASTM D 217 penetration at 25° C. from about 200 to about 400 mm, a matrix material, and a naphthenic petroleum oil having a viscosity of less than about 300 SUS at 100° F. and having an API gravity at 60° F. from about 23 to about 25. The matrix material is a polymeric material. Optionally, a refined petroleum wax may also be included.
Abstract:
A metal treatment composition including Tin (II) Chloride and processed montmorillonite clay. The addition of Tin (II) Chloride to the composition provides Tin for forming a ceramic-metal layer on the surfaces of the friction pair. Tin (II) Chloride provides Chlorine ions for forming Chloric films for protecting juvenile surfaces which form in the friction zone. The clay is heated and pulverized to produce a powder comprising both particles having crystalline layer structure and salts and oxides. The layered crystalline structure of the clay contains slip planes that transversely shift when tangential pressure from the friction pair is applied thereby lubricating the friction pair. The salts and oxides contribute to the formation of the ceramic-metal layer.
Abstract:
In a particular embodiment, the invention concerns a lubricating grease having 70 to 95 percent by weight of a mixture that includes at least a first ester of fatty acid and of sorbitan, and at least a second ester of fatty acid and of polyoxyalkylated sorbitan. The esters are present in quantities by weight, relative to the weight of the mixture, of 10 to 90 percent and 90 to 10 percent respectively. The grease also includes from 5 to 30 percent by weight of at least one thickening agent.
Abstract:
This invention provides phyllosilicates and polyfunctional dispersants which can be manipulated to selectively control the viscosity of phyllosilicate slurries. The polyfunctional dispersants used in the present invention, which include at least three functional groups, increase the dispersion and exfoliation of phyllosilicates in polymers and, when used in conjunction with phyllosilicate slurries, significantly reduce the viscosity of slurries having high concentrations of phyllosilicates. The functional groups of the polyfunctional dispersants are capable of associating with multivalent metal cations and low molecular weight organic polymers, which can be manipulated to substantially increase or decrease the viscosity of the slurry in a concentration dependent manner. The polyfunctional dispersants of the present invention can also impart desirable properties on the phyllosilicate dispersions including corrosion inhibition and enhanced exfoliation of the phyllosilicate platelets.
Abstract:
Lubricant formulations comprising a phospholipids such as lecithins and a low hydrophobic lipophilic balance (HLB) surfactant provide improved rheological properties for coating a rapidly moving web, such as a paper web. The low hydrophobic lipophilic balance (HLB) surfactant is preferably an alcohol ethoxylate having an HLB value of between 7 and 10 or more preferably between 7.5 and 9.5. The lubricant formulations of the invention are preferably applied to the paper web as part of a coating mixture. The lubricant is well-suited for short-dwell coating methods.
Abstract:
A coating and bonding composition is disclosed which includes a suspending agent, bonding agent, thinning agent, and a particulate fluoride anti-seize agent designed to bond a particulate fluoride film to the thread surface to prevent seizing and galling. A anti-seize/lubricating composition is also disclosed where an environmentally friendly lubricating composition is applied as a top coat to the bonding composition and to methods for making and using the compositions.
Abstract:
According to the invention there is provided a liquid friction control composition for use in low temperature conditions, which comprises a rheological control agent, a consistency modifier and a freezing point depressant. The liquid friction control composition may also comprise other components such as a retentivity agent, an antioxidant, a friction modifier, a lubricant, a wetting agent, and a preservative.
