  • Publication number: 20110059879
    Abstract: A lubricating grease composition is disclosed. In one embodiment, the lubricating grease comprises at least one Group I oil, at least one Group II oil, a hydrophilic copolymer, and a soap thickener. The thickener is dispersed into at least one Group I oil during a cooking phase and the at least one Group II oil is introduced during a finishing phase. A method for making a lubricating grease is also disclosed. The method comprises obtaining at least one Group I oil, obtaining at least one Group II oil, obtaining a hydrophilic copolymer, obtaining a soap thickener, and mixing the at least one Group I oil, the least one Group II oil, the polymer and the soap thickener to form a grease wherein the thickener is dispersed into the at least one Group I oil during a cooking phase and at least one Group II oil is introduced during a finishing phase.
