A water lubricant composition (10) of the present invention contains water (11) as a lubricating base material and ND particles (12), which are hydrogen-reduced nanodiamond particles. The content of the water (11) in the water lubricant composition (10) is, for example, 90% by mass or more. The content of the ND particles (12) in the water lubricant composition (10) is, for example, 0.1% by mass or less. The water lubricant composition (10) is suitable for achieving low friction in water lubrication. A water lubricating system of the present invention includes the water lubricant composition (10) which is being used for the lubrication of a SiC member and/or a SiO.sub.2 member.

The invention concerns an agent for mixing into a service fluid for a technical layout, a concentrate for mixing into a service fluid for a technical layout, and a service fluid. An agent according to the invention contains at least one ingredient A chosen from the group of three-layer silicates, at least one ingredient B chosen from the group consisting of bentonites, pyrogenic silicic acids, and talc, and graphite.

Thanks to an agent according to the invention, a concentrate according to the invention, and a service fluid according to the invention, the detachment of the lubricating film on the surfaces of working components of a technical layout that are moving relative to each other is prevented in a reliable manner. This is accomplished in particular by a smoothing of the surfaces, accompanied by a reduction of the frictional coefficient and the steady-state temperature of the working components. Moreover, it is ensured that the ingredients of the agent according to the invention, the concentrate according to the invention, and the service fluid according to the invention do not agglomerate, so that they can pass through the filters of the technical layout, such as a wind power plant transmission or an internal combustion engine.

A sulfonate-based grease composition and method of manufacture comprising (1) addition of both overbased calcium sulfonate and overbased magnesium sulfonate in a ratio range of 60:40 to 100:1, with the magnesium sulfonate added all at once, a portion prior to conversion and another portion after conversion, and/or one more delay periods between the addition of water or other reactive ingredient and the addition of magnesium sulfonate; (2) one or more delay periods between the addition of at least a portion of a facilitating acid and at least a portion of the next subsequently added ingredient; (3) no conventional non-aqueous converting agents added prior to conversion; or (4) a combination thereof. The grease has a high dropping point and reduced thickener yield.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel additive for surface activation and an emulsion composition using same, in which an excellent emulsion stability is obtained. The present invention also addresses the problem of improving the usage feel in a cosmetic and the lubrication performance in a lubricant. This additive for surface activation is one in which the following components (A) and (B) are compounded. (A) An amine or ammonium compound having a hydroxyaliphatic hydrocarbon group that contains one or more hydroxy groups and optionally contains an oxygen atom unassociated with the hydroxy groups; and (B) an unsaturated or branched aliphatic acid having 8 to 22 carbon atoms or a salt thereof. In addition, this emulsion composition is one in which the above additive has been added.

A method of lubricating an expandable rubber bladder is described for use during a vulcanization of a green tire within a metal press. The method can include applying compositions in the form of emulsions of silicone oils to the inner surface of the green tires and/or to the outer surface of the vulcanization bladders to facilitate the molding-demolding thereof during the manufacture of the tires.

This invention relates to malienated derivatives made from maleic anhydride, functionalized monomers, and one or more additional reagents, e.g., an oxygen-containing reagent (e.g., alcohol, polyol), a nitrogen-containing reagent (e.g., amine, polyamine, aminoalcohol), a metal and/or a metal compound. The invention relates to lubricants, functional fluids, fuels, dispersants, detergents and functional compositions (e.g., cleaning solutions, food compositions, etc.).

A single chemical composition comprising to clean and/or lubricate fluid encompassing systems and systems' components comprising of fluid conduit(s), and/or fluid reservoir(s), and/or valve(s), and/or device(s).

Fluid encompassing systems that dispense a fluid or fluids for in vitro and/or in vivo procedures and/or for consumption must be cleaned. A fluid encompassing system and this system's encompassing fluid are both susceptible to contamination

This invention's chemical composition performed routinely cleans the contamination of this system, which also helps maintain the chemical and physical properties for this system's encompassing fluid. This chemical composition also lubricates the surfaces of this system's components. Lubricating this system's components such as valves helps enhance the functioning of said system. This chemical composition also improves this system's fluid flow and helps eliminate odor and foul tasting contaminates from this system.

This chemical composition enhances fluid encompassing systems' operation and efficiency, which helps prolong the life span of these systems and said systems' components.

A top of rail (TOR) applicator has a bar positioned in a housing and an exit orifice on the upper portion of the bar for delivering a friction control composition to the crown of a railhead. The upper portion of the bar slopes away from the friction control composition exit orifices. The bar may be composed of an elastomer such as polyurethane. Passageway extend from an inlet or entry orifice to the exit orifices. The friction reduction composition is pumped into the entry orifice, through the passageways to the exit orifices and then onto the crown of the railhead. The friction reduction composition may be thixotropic.

The present invention relates to conveyor lubricant compositions including an emulsion of a lipophilic compound and also including an emulsifier and/or an anionic surfactant. The present invention also relates to methods employing such lubricant compositions. In an embodiment, the method includes applying the present lubricant composition to a conveyor with a non-energized nozzle.

A composition and method for reducing the coefficient of friction and required pulling force of a wire or cable are provided. A composition of aqueous emulsion is provided that is environmentally friendly, halogen free and solvent free. The composition is compatible with various types of insulating materials and may be applied after the wire or cable is cooled and also by spraying or submerging the wire or cable in a bath. The composition contains lubricating agents that provide lower coefficient of friction for wire or cable installation and continuous wire or cable surface lubrication thereafter.
