Abstract:
The object of the invention is a traction sheave elevator and a rope that contains metal as a load-bearing material, such as the suspension rope of an elevator, which rope comprises at least one or more strands laid from metal wires and which rope is lubricated with a lubricant. Another object is the use of the aforementioned lubricant for lubricating the rope. The lubricant comprises at least oil and thickener, which thickener in the lubricant comprises at least 10% or more of the mass of the lubricant.
Abstract:
A sealed pouch of a single layer polyolefin film having a thickness of from about 0.005 to 0.001 inch and a melting point below about 280.degree. F. which is soluble in a lubricating oil base. The pouch contains a solid lithium hydroxide or lithium fatty acid salt or mixtures thereof for use in preparing greases.
Abstract:
Coating formulations which behave as elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared by creating a fluid having distributed therein effective amounts of ionic charge sites and countercharge sites. For instance, elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared by combining liquid formulations with a dispersion of a small, but effective, amount of at least one crystalline mixed metal hydroxide conforming substantially to the formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH).sub.(m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) (A.sup.n).sub.a .multidot.xH.sub.2 Owhere m is zero to one, D is a divalent metal, d is from zero to 4, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical of valence n and a is the amount of A, where n is 1 or more, (m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) is equal to or greater than 3, (m+d) is greater than zero, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration, if any. The coating formulations include, for example, paints, resin coatings, adhesives, de-icers, curable coatings, dryable coatings, and hardenable coatings.
Abstract:
Formulations or products are caused to be active antimicrobials by the addition thereto of at least one effective amount of at least one crystalline mixed metal hydroxide (MMOH) conforming substantially to the formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH) (m+2d+3+na) (A.sup.n).sub.a.xH.sub.2 Owhere m is zero to one, D is a divalent metal, d is from zero to 4, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical, (m+2d+3+na) is equal or to greater than 3, (m+d) is greater than zero, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration. The MMOH forms an adduct with, an coats, the microbes, thereby deactivating the microbes.
Abstract:
The disclosed technology relates to an additive composition and lubricating grease composition containing a synergistic combination of ingredients for inhibiting rust, particularly rust on mechanical devices subject to contact with salt water.
Abstract:
Processes for the manufacture of metal complex grease compositions are provided. In one embodiment, the process comprises: preparing a slurry comprising a base oil, water, a metal base and a complexing agent, wherein the weight ratio of water:solid in the slurry is in the range of from 0.15:1 to 1.5:1; applying shear to the slurry; adding a C10-C24 saturated or unsaturated fatty acid or derivative thereof to effect a saponification reaction; removing water from the saponified product; heating the saponified product at a temperature in the range of from 190 to 230° C.; and subsequently cooling the product to a temperature in the range of from 200 to 150° C. to form the metal complex grease composition.
