Provided herein is a composition for treating aluminum containing surfaces, wherein the composition includes a reaction product of at least one amine-functionalized organosilane and/or oligomer and/or polymer thereof and at least one fatty acid, wherein the molar ratio of the amino group/s of the at least one amine-functionalized organosilane and/or oligomer and/or polymer thereof and of the at least one fatty acid is 1.2:1 to 1:2, and wherein the at least one amine-functionalized organosilane and/or oligomer and/or polymer thereof is linked to the at least one fatty acid by at least one carboxylic acid/amine salt bond and/or at least one amide bond.

Stable water-in-oil emulsions suitable for use as fire-resistant aerosol multipurpose lubricants. The water-in-oil emulsion comprises a synthetic ester base oil, compatible invert emulsifier, water, and a preservative. The aerosol apparatus employs a larger than standard stem orifice to produce a non-flammable aerosol.

Aqueous metal working fluids, concentrates thereof, and processes to reduce the presence of Mycobacterium in the aqueous metal working fluids, or in a metal working environment.

The present invention describes a water based semi-synthetic metal working fluid comprising a base oil, an organic acid, emulsifiers, optionally a concentrate additive, water and a microbial growth control agent which comprises a glycol ether amine.

The present invention provides a lubricant material for assisting machining process comprising a high molecular weight compound (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 5?10.sup.4 or higher and 1?10.sup.6 or lower, a medium molecular weight compound (B) having a weight average molecular weight of 1?10.sup.3 or higher and lower than 5?10.sup.4, and a carbon (C) having an average particle size of 100 ?m or larger.

Natural soap compositions and methods of manufacturing the same having anti-microbial properties for treating and preventing diaper rash and other microbial infections. The soap compositions may contain one or more fatty acids with carbon length ranging from four (C4) to twenty-two (C22) and/or natural fatty acid mixtures of coconut oil, olive oil, and/or tall oil fatty acids which are saponified with lye. The saponification lye may be sodium or potassium hydroxide. In preferred embodiments, the soap compositions contain at least one of sodium or potassium caprate, sodium or potassium caprylate, or mixtures thereof, especially 55:45% caprylate to caprate. The soap compositions are effective at treating or preventing diaper rashes and other microbial infections associated with Candida albicans (Cayeast), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Psaa Gram negative bacteria), Staphylococcus aureus (Saa Gram positive bacteria), and Aspergillus niger (Ana mold).

Compositions and processes are disclosed for forming hydrophobic coatings and lubricant-infused surface coatings. Coatings may be applied to various substrates without prior chemical or temperature treatment of the substrates and over large and irregular surfaces. Coatings are self-healing, antifouling, and have enhanced lifetimes.
