Abstract:
A tire gel balancing composition having a Storage modulus of between 3000 and 15000 Pa and the Specific Gravity less than 1000 kg/m.sup.3 in the temperature range between -20.degree. and +90.degree. C., preferably its Storage modulus is about 9000 Pa, is capable of balancing tires by being able to flow under the vibrations caused by imbalance in a wheel assembly. The composition preferably comprises a mixture of: 1) paraffinic oils, polybutene oils, polyol esters or polyol ethers; 2) hydrophobic or hydrophilic fumed silica; 3) poly-alkyl-methacrylates, styrene-ethylene-propylene block copolymers or polyhydroxycarboxyl acid derivatives; and optionally corrosion inhibitors and antioxidants.
Abstract:
A grease composition for use as a cable filling material which contains about 75 to 95 parts by weight of a base component of a liquid or semi-solid polyol having a molecular weight of at least 4000 and a reduced amount of mono-unsaturated compounds, about 1 to 15 parts by weight of a thickening agent such as colloidal particles of silica, and between 1 and 5 parts by weight of an antioxidant. Optionally, a thermoplastic elastomer can be added to improve bleed resistance.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method and composition for improving the corron resistance and anti-wear properties of synthetic lubricating oil greases comprising the addition to said greases of effective amounts of a chelated Schiff base derived from the condensation of approximately stoichiometic amounts of at least one aldehyde and a polyamine.
Abstract:

C. dispersed and contained in a medium of water.
Abstract:
Disclosed are electrorheological fluids including vermiculite treated with an amine salt, methods of making the same, propylene carbonate adsorbed on the solid phase, butyl benzoate added for the liquid phase, and methods of using frequency response of electrorheological fluids to vary apparent viscosity and to compensate for temperature.
Abstract:
A dispersing agent for use in dispersing a finely divided solid powder in a nonaqueous dispersion medium and a dispersion prepared by using the dispersing agent. The dispersing agent of this invention is a low acid value lanolin fatty acid and/or a salt of the same. By means of this dispersing agent, there can be easily obtained a homogeneous and stable nonaqueous dispersion from which the incorporated solid particles will not separate out or settle even on prolonged standing. Therefore, this dispersing agent can be used advantageously in a broad range of applications such as coatings, dyes, pigments, inks, fuels, lubricating materials and so on.
Abstract:
Additives comprising a salt or complex of tetrathiocarbonic acid are useful in lubricants to enhance both the extreme pressure/anti-wear and anti-oxidant capabilities thereof. The lubricants preferably are oils of lubricating viscosity, which may be thickened to grease-like consistency with one or more oil thickeners, and contain from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of said additives.
Abstract:
Additives containing a salt or complex of trithiocarbonic acid are useful in lubricants to enhance the extreme pressure/anti-wear and anti-oxidation capabilities thereof. The lubricants are preferably oils of lubricating viscosity, which may be thickened to a grease-like consistency with one or more oil thickeners, and contains from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of said additives.
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel compounds derived from 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and one or two moles of polyolefin having 5 to 400 carbon atoms. Furthermore, the 5-position of the 2-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole may be substituted by alkylthio, 2-hydroxyalkylthio, amino or hydroxy group. The compounds are effective dispersants, antiwear agents and antioxidants when incorporated into lubricating compositions.
Abstract:
A high performance ballistic grease is used in ammunition and a lubricating process to protect the barrel of a weapon from corrosion and overheating. The ballistic grease, ammunition, and process improve the structural integrity and accuracy of the weapon and are economical, nontoxic, effective, and safe. The preferred ballistic lubricating grease comprises a polyalphaolefin base oil, an amorphous silicon dioxide thickener, and a disodium octaborate tetrahydrate additive.
