This disclosure relates to transfer plate lubricant compositions and methods of transporting open containers across stationary transfer plates.

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 lubricating oil composition and method for controlling timing chain stretch, wherein the composition contains greater than 50 wt. % of base oil, zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate(s) to provide 350-2200 ppm zinc, molybdenum-containing compound(s) to provide >1-3000 ppm molybdenum, and magnesium-containing detergent(s) to provide <2050 ppm magnesium, all based on the total weight of the composition. The composition has a total TBN of less than 7.5 mg KOH/g, measured by ASTM D-2896 and a weight ratio of ppm of zinc from zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate(s) to ppm of molybdenum from molybdenum-containing compound(s) of <10. The method employs the lubricating oil composition to control timing chain stretch to a level of 0.1% or less.

The present invention relates to a belt lubricant concentrate comprising 15% by weight to 30% by weight of at least one monocarboxylic acid, 10% by weight to 25% by weight of at least one N-alkyl-1,3-propanediamine, 5% by weight to 15% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant and water up to 100% by weight.

A lubricant composition with improved stability and tolerance for water hardness comprises a synthetic wax emulsion; an amine derivative; an emulsifier; and a sequestrant. The synthetic wax emulsion may include poly(ethyleneoxide)-based or poly(propyleneoxide)-based wax emulsions. The amine derivative may include alkyl C.sub.12-C.sub.14 oxy propyl diamine. The lubricant composition can be used for lubricating the passage of a container along a conveyor. The method includes applying the lubricant composition to at least a part of the container or the conveyor in an application cycle, where the application cycle includes a first period of time of dispensing the lubricant composition and a second period of time of not dispensing the lubricant composition.

This disclosure relates to transfer plate lubricant compositions and methods of transporting open containers across stationary transfer plates.

The present application relates to biodegradable zero drip lubricating oil composition. The lubricating oil composition comprises a) an oil soluble polyalkylene glycol polymer; b) a vegetable base stock; and c) organic solvent excluding alcohol, wherein the oil soluble poly alkylene glycol and the vegetable base stock are present in a weight ratio from 1:2.6 to 1:8. The biodegradable lubricating oil compositions have high film strength, high load carrying capability, zero anti-drip property and maximum penetrability in the chain linkages, for application in roller chains and driving power trains having complex chain linkages.

The present disclosure provides a soap thickener and methods of making the same. The soap thickener includes a metal soap of a carboxylic acid composition in a base oil, wherein the carboxylic acid composition includes a modified fatty acid composition prepared by performing a pericyclic reaction between an unsaturated small molecule and a fatty acid mixture. The present disclosure further provides lubricating compositions that include the soap thickener of the present disclosure and methods of preparing the same.

An improved method for applying an electrically charged lubricant on an oppositely charged carcass trolley in a meat packing plant meeting the requirements of (1) adequate lubricity, (2) “drip-resistance,” (3) safety, (4) rust resistance, (5) economy of manufacture and use, and (6) the ability to be removed by cleaning methods is provided by preparing a mixture of mineral oil, a fatty acid, a silicone oil, and a polybutene, each being acceptable for incidental contact with food.

The present invention is directed to aqueous compositions with wax and graphene. These compositions offer surprising benefits in reducing bicycle or motorbike chain lengthening, particularly in off road environments with high dirt and water levels such as during mountain biking or off-road biking. The invention is further directed to a method of preparing such compositions and to the use of such compositions on bicycle or motorbike chains.
