A composition of an oil-soluble ionic detergent that does not contribute metal ions to the composition, and which comprises a quaternary non-metallic pnictogen cation and an organic anion having at least one hydrocarbyl group of sufficient length to impart oil solubility to the detergent, the detergent having a total base number (TBN) to total acid number (TAN) ratio of at least 2:1 imparts ash-free basicity to a lubricant composition.

A food grade lubricant composition includes an emulsion having 85%-95% w/w water, 1%-4% w/w polyalphaolefin 4, 1%-4% w/w sorbitan monolaurate, 2%-5% w/w polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monolaurate, and a food grade preservative.

This thermally conductive grease composition contains a base oil, a thermally conductive filler, and calcium carbonate particles.

Provided is a lubricant including a deep eutectic solvent consisting of a hydrogen bond acceptor and a hydrogen bond donor, the lubricant having a halogen atom content of 0.1% by mass or less. The lubricant provided contains a carbon-neutral component, and shows a favorable lubricating property and low corrosiveness to metals.

An object is to provide a lubrication treatment method of a metal wire rod, in which not a combination of acid washing/alkaline degreasing and phosphate/soap treatment each causing a large burden on the environment, but shot blast and a coat-type treatment agent are used to allow for a significant reduction in burden on the environment, and a batch manner is applied to allow for practical production efficiency and uniformly form a lubrication coating on a metal wire rod. The object is achieved by a lubrication treatment method of a metal wire rod, which is a method for lubrication treatment of a coiled metal wire rod in a batch manner, including a descaling step of performing shot blast treatment of a coiled metal wire rod, and a lubrication coating formation step of applying a lubricant to the metal wire rod after the descaling step, in which the coiled metal wire rod satisfies L/(dN)1.1 in the descaling step under the assumption that the coil width is L, the wire diameter of the metal wire rod is d, and the number of coil turns is N, and the lubricant contains one or more coating base components (A) selected from the group consisting of an inorganic salt and an organic acid salt, and a lubrication component (B).

Provided is a an additive or composition for imparting lubricity which has high lubricity, is excellent in low-corrosion property, low-temperature fluidity, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and oxidative stability, and has high flashing point. The lubricant according to the present invention is an additive or composition, wherein the following components (A) an amine or an ammonium compound; and (B) an acid or a salt thereof, have been added therein, wherein at least one of the components (A) and (B) contains a hydrogen-bonding functional group.
