A composition for sliding member includes a binder resin, a solid lubricant, and an epoxy modified silicone oil having an epoxy group at both ends or at one end thereof. A weight ratio of the binder resin and the epoxy modified silicone oil is 97:3 to 75:25.

A dry lubricant composition for a slide surface of a recreational slide is disclosed. The dry lubricant composition includes a resin, a lubricant, a thermal conductor, and a hardener. The resin may comprise a silicon or PTFE based Epoxy. The dry lubricant composition is configured to be applied to the slide surface to form a dry lubricant coating thereon. The resultant coefficient of friction between the dry lubricant coating and a ride vehicle for use with the slide is within a range of between about 0.03 to about 0.2.

A recreational slide system is provided. The recreational slide system includes a slide and a ride vehicle configured to support a rider down the slide. The slide includes a slide body with a non-wet lubricated slide surface that extends between a top entrance of the slide and a bottom exit of the slide. The ride vehicle includes a fabric layer that forms a top surface configured to contact the rider and a mesh layer that forms a bottom surface configured to contact the slide surface. The coefficient of friction between the mesh layer of the ride vehicle and the non-wet lubricated slide surface is within a range of between about 0.03 to about 0.2.

A composition for reducing friction or stiction of a surface is disclosed. The composition comprises at least one organosilane, at least one organophosphorus, or a combination of at least one organosilane and at least one organophosphorus. The composition further comprises at least one polymer. Methods of applying the composition to a surface are also disclosed. Non-limiting examples of surfaces to which the composition can be applied include metal, metal alloys, metal oxide, glass, ceramic, or plastic substrates, and combinations thereof. Articles comprising at least one surface having been treated with the composition are also disclosed. Non-limiting examples of such articles include windows, watches and watch bands, screens, monitors, high-touch surfaces, electronic products, housing for electronics, and combinations thereof. Such articles can also exhibit enhanced hydrophobicity and/or anti-corrosion properties compared to untreated articles.

A composition for treating an aqueous fluid includes an ionic polyacrylamide and a silicon polyether. The composition can be an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion. The ionic polyacrylamide can be an anionic polyacrylamide or a cationic polyacrylamide. The composition can be employed, for example, as a friction reducing additive for water based fracturing fluid, or a drilling mud additive.

A coating composition for imparting a hydrophobic film on a target surface is provided that includes an oil of a silicone oil or a fluoropolymer oil or a combination thereof, a resin, and a dry lubricant. A solvent is present to form a solution of the oil and resin. A coating is imparted to an applicator that in turn can transfer the coating as a hydrophobic film. The coating composition is stable and able to impart hydrophobic film even after storage for several weeks at elevated temperature. The coating composition does so through the exclusion of synthetic waxes especially including silicone waxes. A kit is also provided that includes a wiper blade having the above coating composition applied along with instructions for the securement of the wiper blade to a vehicle to impart the hydrophobic film to a vehicle windshield contacted by the wiper blade.
