This disclosure relates to a continuous process for preparing a grease thickener product in which operating conditions of the continuous process can be varied to obtain desired grease product properties. The process includes: (a) introducing a C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid or a C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid ester, and a metal base into a reaction zone; (b) operating the reaction zone at a temperature between 100 C. and 240 C. to react the C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid or the C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid ester, and the metal base, to produce a grease thickener product; (c) introducing the grease thickener product of step (b) into a flash chamber zone; and (d) operating the flash chamber zone at a temperature sufficient to remove volatiles from the grease thickener product of step (b). The continuous process conditions afford a production throughput of grease thickener product of greater than 8,000 pounds per hour.

The present invention relates to lubricating grease compositions comprising (a) at least one high-viscosity fluorinated oil having a viscosity of 500 to 1500 mm.sup.2/s, (b) boron nitride and (c) a binder selected from bentonite, alkali metal phosphates, aluminum phosphates, alkali metal silicates, alkaline earth metal silicates, aluminum silicates, alkaline earth metal carbonates, calcium borate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide and mixtures thereof. The lubricating grease compositions find use especially in the high-temperature sector, for example for the lubrication of oven pullout rails.
