The present invention describes a chemically-assisted machining process that converts conventional lubricant chemistries to produce reactive oxygenated species that accelerate the formation of friction-reducing boundary layer lubrication during cutting operationstermed Ozonolytic Machining. The new type of cooling-lubricant chemistry is based on chemical reactions between unsaturated bio-based oils and alcohols, and other types of machining lubricants, containing carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, with ozone gas to form variously reacted or polymerized ozonidestermed super-oxygenated fluids, oils or alcohols, aldehydes or ketones, sulfurized ozonides and super-oxygenated gels.

Method for applying an active component comprising providing a composition comprising: (a) at least one active component selected from a lubricating agent, an insecticidal agent, and an herbicidal agent; and (b) a carrier in an amount effective to solvate or emulsify said active component, said carrier comprising a monochlorotrifluoropropene; and removing the carrier from the composition.

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.

Lubricant infused surfaces (LIS) can be uncoated high-surface-energy solids, thereby eliminating the need for unreliable low-surface-energy coatings and resulting in LIS repelling the lowest surface tension impinging fluid (butane, 13 mN/m) reported to date.

Household lubricant compositions containing medium chain triglycerides are non-toxic and biodegradable. The lubricant compositions are made using vegetable oil components and stabilized using alcohol, an antioxidant, and a metal chelator. The lubricant compositions offer safe and environmentally friendly alternatives to petroleum-based lubricants, yet have similar lubricity and are more stable than naturally sourced vegetable oils. The compositions also can be used to clean and coat surfaces, including food preparation surfaces, and to prevent corrosion. Still further uses include sterilization and sanitation of surfaces and as a skin conditioner and lubricant.

Disclosed is a lubricant for use in cold forming of a metal. The lubricant comprises a mixture of at least one lubricating compound and at least one starch. The starch adheres the lubricating compound to the metal surface. The present lubricant completely removes the need to pre-coat the metal with a zinc phosphate coating to adhere the lubricating compound to the metal. The present lubricant eliminates several steps required in processes that utilize zinc phosphate pre-coatings. In addition, the lubricant of the present invention is easily removed after the cold forming operations unlike zinc phosphate coatings.

A de-icing lubricant composition is provided, including isopropyl alcohol; and mineral oil. The isopropyl alcohol may be 60-90% of the composition by weight. The mineral oil may be 10-30% of the composition by weight. The composition may include a dye and/or a propellant. The propellant may be CO2. A method of restoring mobility to frozen components is also provided by applying a composition as described above to a frozen component.

A composition comprising: (a) at least one active component; and (b) a carrier in an amount effective to at least partially solvate or at least partially emulsify said active component, said carrier comprising monochloro,trifluoropropene.

Lubricant compositions include copolymers of monomers selected from C6-C10 alkyl methacrylate monomers, and monomers selected from C10-C18 alkyl methacrylate monomers, and a base oil or comprising a copolymer obtained by combining at least monomers selected from C6-C10 alkyl methacrylate monomers, and monomers selected from C10-C18 alkyl methacrylate monomers in a mixture and co-polymerizing the monomers. The methods for the preparation of the lubricant compositions, and lubricants uses.

A method of increasing the spreading of a lubricant on the liner surface after it's delivery, wherein the method comprises preparing the lubricant compositions comprising copolymers of monomers (A) selected from C6-C10 alkyl methacrylate monomers, and monomers (B) selected from C10-C18 alkyl methacrylate monomers, and a base oil or comprising a copolymer obtained by combining at least monomers (A) selected from C6-C10 alkyl methacrylate monomers, and monomers (B) selected from C10-C18 alkyl methacrylate monomers in a mixture and co-polymerizing the monomers for increasing the spreading and/or the self-spreading of the lubricant on the cylinder liner surface after its delivery.
