Disclosed herein is a method for pretreatment of a metallic substrate for a subsequent metal cold forming process, said method , and contacting at least one surface of the substrate with an aqueous lubricant composition (B). The aqueous lubricant composition (B) has a pH value in the range of from 0.1 to 6.0, and includes water in an amount of at least 40 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition (B), at least one film-forming polymer, at least one wax, at least one corrosion inhibitor , and oxalate and/or phosphate anions. Further disclosed herein are a pretreated metallic substrate obtainable by the aforementioned inventive method, a method of cold forming of a metallic substrate including a step of subjecting the inventive pretreated metallic substrate to a cold forming process, an aqueous lubricant composition (B), and a master batch for preparing the aqueous composition (B).

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to magnetic recording systems having a spindle motor and, more particularly, to an optimized lubricant for bearings within the spindle motor. A lubricant used in a fluid dynamic bearing motor has an antioxidant additive and a charge control agent dissolved in a diester base oil. The charge control agent is chemically attached to the same diacid reactant used in the diester lubricant base oil, and is prepared through an esterification reaction. The charge control agent is then dissolved in the lubricant base oil. The charge control agent is soluble in the lubricant, and is resistant to free radical oxidation. The charge control agent effectively controls the charge of the lubricant by creating electron donor/acceptor sites in the lubricant, facilitating an independent electronic pathway through the lubricant.

Stable, solid triamine compositions are disclosed. The pressed, cast, extruded or other solid compositions are suitable for antimicrobial, sanitizing and disinfectant applications. Ready-to-use solutions are obtained by dissolving the solid triamine compositions with water and the methods of use thereof are particularly suitable for cleaning, disinfecting, sanitizing, rinsing and/or lubricating. Beneficially, the solid triamine compositions are at least partially neutralized, allowing activity of 90% and greater of the biocidal triamine, and provide at least substantially similar or superior performance and micro efficacy to liquid formulations.

An additive composition for a hydraulic fluid, or a heat transfer fluid, comprises one or more phosphate esters derived from the esterification of phosphoric acid and one or more monomer glycols containing up to 18 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof. In addition, the additive composition may comprise one or more corrosion inhibitors selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids, alkanolamines or combinations thereof; one or more antioxidants including selected from the group consisting of one or more organosulfur compounds, one or inorganic oxyanion salts or combinations thereof; and, one or more surfactants.

A low transition temperature mixture (LTTM) or deep eutectic solvent (DES) useful as a lubricating oil base stock and lubricating oil including a eutectic mixture of at least a first component and at least a second component. The at least first component comprises a hydrogen bond acceptor and the at least second component comprises a hydrogen bond donor. The eutectic mixture includes an equilibrium phase between the at least first component and the at least second component. The equilibrium phase does not exhibit physical characteristics of the at least first component in an unmixed state and the at least second component in an unmixed state. The at least first component and the at least second component form an intermolecular interaction between each other sufficient to prevent crystallization of the at least first component and the at least second component in the eutectic mixture. The eutectic mixture is a liquid at 20 C.
