  • Patent number: 5273667
    Abstract: A method for treating the phosphate sludge waste from phosphate conversion baths used in the metal forming and metal working industry is described whereby the phosphate sludge is completely converted into a lubricant additive which can be used in lubricant formulations for the metal forming and metal working industry as well as general purpose lubricants. By operation of this process, waste treatment and waste disposal problems associated with the phosphate sludge are essentially eliminated. Various dry-soap lubricant formulations, warm forming lubricant formulations, non-reactive lubricant formulations, and metal precoat formulations containing the recovered or recycled phosphate sludge additive are described. The lime normally contained in many of these lubricant formulations can be significantly reduced or essentially eliminated by using the recovered phosphate sludge additive of this invention, thereby resulting in improved lubricant formulations.

  • Patent number: 5250209
    Abstract: A water washable thermally conductive grease useful for thermal coupling of electronic chips and heat sinks in electronic modules comprises a hydrophilic alkylene oxide modified silicone carrier, and up to 90 weight percent of a microparticulate thermally conductive filler. In a preferred embodiment, the thixotropic dielectric composition further comprises an antioxidant and an ionic surfactant to promote wetting/dispersion of the microparticulate filler. The thermally conductive grease is non-corrosive, resistant to shear induced phase destabilization and capable of being washed from module surfaces with aqueous solutions. Substitution of the present hydrophilic based greases for art-recognized solvent washable greases eliminates use of non-aqueous solvents in electronic module processing/reprocessing operations.
