A link chain cleaning and lubricating device, and lubricants for use therein.

A snow equipment wax composition including between about 34-59 wt % of a first wax including at least one of candelilla wax, carnauba wax, rice bran wax and castor wax, between about 27-37% of a second wax including at least one of sunflower wax, bayberry wax, palm wax, and jojoba wax, and between about 15-20 wt % of a third wax including at least one of pillar blend soy wax, palm wax, natural vegetable wax, Japan wax, and stearic acid.

A drag reducing composition comprises a sealed temporary container; and a drag reducing agent and up to 20 weight percent of a dispersing fluid disposed in the sealed temporary container. The drag reducing agent comprises polyolefin particles having a particle size of about 10 to about 2,000 microns; and the dispersing fluid comprising water, an alcohol, a hydrocarbon, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

A drag reducing agent has a core comprising a polyolefin; and a temporary container encapsulating the core. The temporary container contains a container material, which includes an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, a polyvinylpyrrolidone, an ethylene vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, a vinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyvinyl acetate, a polyvinyl alcohol, a polyethylene oxide, a polyethylene glycol, polyvinylidene chloride, a polysaccharide or its derivative, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing. A largest dimension of the drag reducing agent is greater than about 1,000 microns.

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.

Disclosed herein is a method of pretreatment of a metallic substrate for a subsequent metal cold forming process. The method includes at least steps (1) and (2), namely providing at least one substrate having at least one surface at least partially made of at least one metal (step (1)), contacting the at least one surface of the substrate provided in step (1) with an aqueous lubricant composition (B) (step (2)), where the aqueous lubricant composition (B) includes besides water at least constituents (b1) to (b4) and optionally (b5).

Further disclosed herein are a pretreated metallic substrate obtained by the method, a method of cold forming of a metallic substrate, and an aqueous lubricant composition (B).

A coating agent for fasteners, in particular drilling screws and thread-forming screws, serves to improve the handling safety and reliability. For this purpose, the agent includes at least two different solid lubricants, with the first solid lubricant being a plastic or a wax and the second solid lubricant being at least one further plastic. These solid lubricants are preferably present in a solution, for example in a water-based, alcohol-based, or another, in particular organic solvent-based solution. The solid lubricants are preferably present as a micro-granulate, which achieves a better distribution in the coating and therefore a better availability of the solid lubricants in the case of use. A method for coating such fasteners with such a coating agent is also the subject-matter of the present invention.

The present disclosure relates to curable wax compositions comprising a natural wax, a drying oil, and a terpene compound. Such compositions may further include a UV catalyst or at least one additive. Disclosed compositions are free from fluorinated compounds, such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other environmentally harmful chemicals. Also included are methods for producing and using such compositions.

The current invention a eco-friendly lubricant. The components of the lubricant are as follows, CANOLA OIL, PALM OIL, SOY WAX, SWEET ORANGE OIL which is adjusted for fragrance and Vitamin E to extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation and by slowing the growth of certain bacteria. The lubricant will be semi-solid. To use it is heat to bring semi-solid to liquid and squeeze the semi-solid out of tube to area, then apply heat.
