The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

An air bag coated with a cured organopolysiloxane composition, characterized in that the air bag is top coated with an antifriction coating comprising at least one solid lubricant dispersed in an organic polymer binder.

A heat-conductive silicone grease composition comprising (A) an organopolysiloxane in an amount of 20 to 90 parts by mass, (B) a non-silicone-type organic compound in an amount of 80 to 10 parts by mass (wherein the total amount of the components (A) and (B) is 100 parts by mass) and (C) a heat-conductive inorganic filler having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 m in an amount of 200 to 2,000 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the components (A) and (B), wherein the SP value of the non-silicone-type organic compound (B) is greater than that of the organopolysiloxane (A) (i.e., (B)>(A)), the value obtained by subtracting the SP value of the component (A) from the SP value of the component (B) is greater than 2, and the viscosity of the heat-conductive silicone grease composition is 50 to 1,000 Pa.Math.s at 25 C.

An electrorheological composition has corrosion-inhibiting properties and contains at least one organic ionic compound as an electrolyte. Also disclosed are methods for the production thereof and the use thereof.

The invention relates to the use of an O/W emulsion, in particular a PIT emulsion, for lubricating conveyor belt systems in food industries as well as a lubricant concentrate based on an O/W emulsion, in particular a PIT emulsion, of wax esters.

A non-water-based tire lubricant includes a thickening agent and a thinning agent. The thickening agent may be a silicone grease, hydrotreated light petroleum distillates, or hydrogenated liquid rosin ester, and the thinning agent may be a blend of petroleum distillates and additives or a silicone liquid. The tire lubricant has a pliable consistency, is easier to apply and use than standard tire lubricants, allows the tire to seal at much lower pressures, and is not water-based so that nitrogen concentrations inside the tire are maintained at 100 percent.

A composition for reducing friction or stiction of a surface is disclosed. The composition comprises at least one organosilane, at least one organophosphorus, or a combination of at least one organosilane and at least one organophosphorus. The composition further comprises at least one polymer. Methods of applying the composition to a surface are also disclosed. Non-limiting examples of surfaces to which the composition can be applied include metal, metal alloys, metal oxide, glass, ceramic, or plastic substrates, and combinations thereof. Articles comprising at least one surface having been treated with the composition are also disclosed. Non-limiting examples of such articles include windows, watches and watch bands, screens, monitors, high-touch surfaces, electronic products, housing for electronics, and combinations thereof. Such articles can also exhibit enhanced hydrophobicity and/or anti-corrosion properties compared to untreated articles.
