Described is a cooling lubricant for cold rolling aluminum, which includes a mineral oil-based or synthetic base oil and a polyalkylene glycol or a compound with a polyalkylene oxide structure. Further, the cooling lubricant is not water-soluble or miscible with water, and the cooling lubricant is substantially free of fatty acids and fatty alcohols.

A water-soluble working fluid of the invention is used for cutting a brittle material using a wire saw. The water-soluble working fluid is provided by blending water, alkylene oxide adduct of acethylene glycol, and glycols. The water-soluble working fluid of the invention is capable of providing favorable cutting accuracy when the brittle material is cut using a wire, and thus is suitable for cutting out a large-diameter wafer. The water-soluble working fluid of the invention is especially suitably applicable to an abrasive-grain-fixed wire saw.

A water-based lubricating grease composition includes at least 40 wt % water; a salt-based thickener; a polymer-based thickener; and optionally, an inorganic solid-based thickener. A process for preparing the water-based lubricating grease composition may include blending a suitable amount of water with a salt-based thickener to provide a thickened water-based grease, wherein the salt-based thickener is obtained from contacting a base with a fat; and adding a polymer-based thickener to the thickened water-based grease.

Described are various coolant and/or lubricating compositions. Also described are various methods for grinding glass that employ such a coolant and/or lubricating composition. Such compositions may find use in the grinding of glass, such as automotive glass, flat glass, ophthalmic glass, precision ophthalmic glass, ceramics, quartz, solar glass, precision optical glass, lens glass, architectural glass, curtain wall glass, appliance glass, electronic-device glass, and/or various plastics.

An automotive engine oil and/or fuel comprising a base stock and an organic polymeric friction reducing additive is claimed. A method of reducing friction in an automotive engine oil and/or fuel by the addition of the organic polymeric friction reducing additive to the base stock is also claimed.
