The present invention provides a lubricant composition comprising: (i) a base oil (ii) an organophilic clay-based thickener; and (iii) a solid lubricant, wherein said solid lubricant does not comprise any heavy metals. The present invention also provides the use of a lubricant composition comprising: a base oil; an organophilic clay-based thickener; and a solid lubricant, wherein said solid lubricant does not comprise any heavy metals, as a pipe dope.

The present invention describes a pipe sealing compound/adjunct lubricant used to prevent gas or liquid leaks when applied to pipe threads and other connections of the same. The compound relies on silicone oil lubricant(s) and one or more friction modifier(s), viscosity builder(s) and filler material(s). The compound contains a viscoelastic liquid that does not have a curing phase and is resistant to hardening and/or drying. The compound is chemically resistant to a wide variety of liquids and gases, is food safe and can withstand extreme high or low temperatures and precipitous temperature fluctuations. The compound has been found to exhibit an inverse pressure to leak rate phenomena.

Anaerobic sealant lubricant compositions and uses are disclosed. The anaerobic sealant lubricant compositions cure anaerobically but have lubricity for easy disassembly, making the compositions well suited for fasteners and threaded components.

The invention provides a grease composition for a ball joint which has a low friction coefficient under a load from normal temperatures to high temperatures, a small difference between static friction and dynamic friction, and little change in the friction coefficient even after repeated operation. TO this end, the invention provides a grease composition for a ball joint comprising: (i) a polyisoprene rubber and/or (ii) a polyisoprene rubber viscous material; a specific aliphatic amide and/or a specific aliphatic bisamide; and a specific urea compound.

The composition according to the present embodiment is a composition for forming a lubricant coating layer on a threaded connection for pipes or tubes, and contains Cr.sub.2O.sub.3, a metal soap, a wax and a basic metal salt of an aromatic organic acid. The threaded connection for pipes or tubes according to the present embodiment includes a pin and a box. The pin and the box each include a contact surface including a threaded portion. The threaded connection for pipes or tubes includes, as an outermost layer, a lubricant coating layer formed from the aforementioned composition on at least one of the contact surfaces of the pin and the box.

A threaded tubular connection for drilling or operating hydrocarbon wells contains a portion of a tubular element with a male end having an axis of revolution and provided with a first threading extending about the axis of revolution, the male end portion being complementary with a portion of a tubular element with a female end having an axis of revolution and provided with a second threading extending about the axis of revolution, the male and female end portions being capable of being connected by makeup, each of the male and female end portions further comprising a sealing surface with a metal-metal interference, wherein the threading and the sealing surfaces of the male and female end portions are coated with a metallic anti-corrosion and anti-galling layer wherein zinc (Zn) is the major element by weight. One of the metallic anti-corrosion and anti-galling layers is coated with a passivation layer and the other is at least partially coated with a lubricant layer.

A lubricant composition includes a mixture of grease and wax formed into a block which is solid at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 150° F., and which transforms into a semi-solid under mechanical loading. The mixture is formed with 5-25% of melted wax. The block may be coated to form a shell to remain solid at elevated temperatures. The block may include other additives. The grease block is suitable for use in various applications, including on a 5.sup.th wheel trailer hitch plate.

The present disclosure relates to lubricant compositions for use on engine components. The lubricant compositions include, by volume: 30 to 50% graphite in alcohol solution; 0.1 to 5% surfactant; and 40 to 70% water. The present disclosure also relates to processes for preparing lubricant compositions and methods of using such compositions.
