Abstract:
The addition of a metal chromate or dichromate to a silicone lubricating grease reduces galvanic corrosion during the lubrication of dissimilar metal surfaces which are separated by a lubricating film of the grease.
Abstract:
There is provided an optically clear void filling compound for filling voids where it is necessary to have at least 80% of the electromagnetic waves striking the void to pass there through by having a diorganopolysiloxane polymer having a viscosity of anywhere from 100 to 100,000 centipoise at 25*C where the organo groups are methyl and phenyl and the total phenyl content varies from 29 to 34 percent and there is incorporated into the diorganopolysiloxane a filler at a concentration of 4 percent to 20 percent by weight of said diorganopolysiloxane and said filler is selected from the class consisting of untreated fumed silica and untreated precipitated silica. The use of the filler in the compound imparts to it consistency.

Abstract:
A grease composition contains a polysiloxane, the organic substituents of which are methyl radicals, a higher fatty acid soap of lithium, an amount of a polyether which is sufficient to cause the lithium soap of the fatty acid to disperse into the polysiloxane, but insufficient to deleteriously affect the hightemperature properties of the grease, and a sufficient amount of a base to render the grease alkaline. The grease is made by heating together the polysiloxane, the polyether, the lithium soap of the higher fatty acid and the base to a temperature of about 400* to 500* F., after which the grease composition is cooled to room temperature, then milled. The grease composition is used in the journal bearings of starter motors having highcurrent capacity and which run hot but are subjected to extremely low temperatures when not running.
Abstract:
A neutral, dielectric, strong desiccant, free of material which might change the semiconductor junction doping, is added to a silicone grease. The grease is used to surround semiconductor junctions as a heat transfer media. The presence of the desiccant in the grease reduces the noise background which is generated in semiconductors in the presence of small amounts of water.
Abstract:
Grease-like compositions consisting of (1) 100 parts of a liquid organopolysiloxane having a viscosity of from 50 to 200,000 centistokes at 25* C., (2) from 17 to 300 parts of finely divided zinc oxide, and (3) from about 17 to 300 parts of finely divided polytetrafluoroethylene. The material is useful, particularly, in electrical switch gear.
Abstract:
A grease composition containing a polysiloxane, the organic substituents of which are primarily methyl radicals and C6 to C20 alkyl radicals, a thickener, and zinc naphthenate. The presence of the zinc naphthenate in the grease provides corrosion resistance to iron and iron alloy metal surfaces to which the grease is applied. The composition may be prepared by heating the polysiloxane and the thickener together at a temperature of about 240* C with mixing, cooling the mixture partially, adding the zinc naphthenate during the remainder of the cooling period, and then milling the resulting material. The grease composition was used to lubricate door hinges on houses and automobiles.
