A grease composition comprises a base oil and an aluminium complex soap thickener, with graphite, molybdenum di-sulphide, calcium carbonate and bismuth sulphide all included as additives. The composition exhibits advantageous load, wear and friction performance, especially in extreme pressure environments, and is particularly suitable for use on open gears.

The present invention provides a steel wire rod including a lubricating coating film, which can reconcile workabilities such as wire drawability, spike property, ball ironing property and film removability, and corrosion resistance such as long-term rust prevention property. The steel wire rod includes a lubricating coating film on a surface, wherein the lubricating coating film contains a water-soluble silicate and a water-soluble tungstate, a mass ratio of water-soluble tungstate/water-soluble silicate being in a range of 0.7 to 10, and contains no phosphorus

A composition for a metal surface coating that does not require a posttreatment such as heating, has flexibility to be able to follow deformation of a member to be coated, hardly peels off from a metal surface, and can be used for the purpose of corrosion protection, and a terminal-equipped covered electric wire using the same. The composition contains an adduct and a base oil. The adduct contains an acidic phosphate ester consisting of one or more kinds of compounds represented by General Formulae (1) and (2), and a metal, P(O)(OR.sub.1)(OH).sub.2 . . . (1), P(O)(OR.sub.1).sub.2(OH) . . . (2), where R.sub.1 represents a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms.

Provided are polyalkoxylates that are prepared by alkoxylating polytetrahydrofurane with butylene oxide for use in lubricant compositions and/or for reducing friction in a driveline.

A fluoropolymer coating composition comprises: fluorinated homopolymer particles dispersed in water, fluorinated copolymer particles dispersed in water, non-fluorinated polymer particles dispersed in water; and at least one aziridine compound comprising at least two aziridine groups. The composition is especially useful in low friction coating for telecommunication cables.

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.

A lubricant composition comprising an oil-soluble polyalkylene glycol; an ester compound selected from the group of natural esters and synthetic esters, and combinations thereof; and an additive mixture comprising an antioxidant and an anticorrosive, wherein the anticorrosive is selected from neutral alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of sulfonic acids, carboxylic acids, naphthoic acids, naphthenic acids, benzoic acids and phosphoric acids, and derivatives and combinations thereof.
