Abstract:
Prior high pressure lubricant additives have contained short-chained chlorinated paraffins which are toxic and harmful to the environment. An environmentally friendly high pressure lubricant additives is provided by combining 74.5% to 84.5% by weight chlorinated alkanes, such as PAROIL 310 NR or PAROIL 353 NR, and from 15.5% to 25.5% by weight mineral oil. The high pressure lubricant additive can be added to motor oil, or other lubricants such as hydraulic fluid, cutting oil, gear box oil, automatic transmission fluid and penetrating oil
Abstract:
To prevent nuisance marine growth in a valve, particularly a ball valve, used to regulate a flow of seawater, a compound for lubricating and preventing nuisance marine growth is provided in the valve. The nuisance marine growth preventing compound includes a substantially uniform mixture of marine grease and an antifouling agent. The compound is introduced into the valve such that the compound is provided between and contacts a valve body and a ball that regulates the flow of seawater within the valve, and inhibits nuisance marine growth at a space between the ball and the valve body which is occupied by the compound.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a grease composition or a lubricating oil composition which is capable of effectively preventing hydrogen brittleness-caused peeling from occurring on a rolling surface of a rolling bearing, is excellent in durability in a high temperature and speed operation, and can be used for a long time. A grease-packed bearing (1) has an inner ring (2), an outer ring (3), and a plurality of rolling elements (4). A sealing member (6) for sealing a grease composition (7) is provided at openings (8a) and (8b) disposed at both axial ends of the inner ring (2) and the outer ring (3). The grease composition (7) includes a base grease composed of a base oil and a thickener and an additive added to the base grease. The additive contains at least one compound selected from among plant-derived polyphenolic compounds and compounds formed by decomposition thereof. The above-described compounds include tannin, gallic acid, ellagic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, curcumin, quercetin, and quinic acid.
Abstract:
A method for preventing degradation of physical and chemical properties, and for increasing lubricity, of a hydrocarbon and water emulsion, comprising adding to the emulsion an effective amount of at least one copper salt of a carboxylic acid for enabling at least one bacterium species from Pseudomonas genus to become dominant in the emulsion.
Abstract:
A natural algae-based synthetic lubricant derived from harvesting kelp from the ocean, recovering sieve sap from the kelp, drying the sieve sap, and removing salts and oxides to leave a composition having a concentration of polyols (Mannitol about 70% and Mannose about 0.4%) and about 28% by weight of a high molecular weight polymer. The synthetic lubricant may be used as a drag reducing agent and additive for existing lubricants and also further reacted with fatty esters to form a hybrid lubricant that may serve as a total replacement for existing lubricants.
Abstract:
A powder metal mixture comprises a lubricant powder conventionally used to produce powder metal parts in combination with micronized cellulose fibers in an amount less than 2% by weight of the mixture. The addition of fibers with the lubricant increases green strength of a part made by compacting the mixture and improves dimensional conformance.
Abstract:
A method is provided for preparing a multifunctional additive involving irradiating raw cotton plant material with an electron beam source, continually blending the raw cotton plant material during the irradiating and micronizing the irradiated cotton plant material. The invention is improved wherein the irradiating and blending of the raw cotton plant material is performed while the raw cotton plant material is in rope form. Irradiated rope is suitably tensioned before micronizing to compensate for degradability of the rope incurred during irradiation.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a lubricating composition consisting essentially of a lubricant base and a lubricant additive wherein the lubricant additive comprises at least two groups of ingredients, wherein, the first group is a triglyceride vegetable oil, a wax ester of a triglyceride vegetable oil and combinations, the second group is a sulfurized mixture of a triglyceride vegetable oil and a wax ester of a triglyceride vegetable oil, and the third group is a phosphite adduct of triglyceride vegetable oil, a phosphite adduct of wax ester and combinations.
Abstract:
There is disclosed lubricant additives that comprise a combination of meadowfoam oil as a triglyceride or a wax ester, sulfurized triglyceride meadowfoam oil or sulfurized wax ester of meadowfoam oil, amnd phosphite adducts of triglyceride meadowfoam oil or wax ester of meadowfoam oil. There is also disclosed a proceess for sulfurizing triglyceride meadowfoam oil that is soluble in a lubricant base, such as mineral oil.
