  • Patent number: 11542453
    Abstract: The present invention addresses a problem of providing a grease composition that uses hydrophilic nanofibers but still has excellent water resistance and does not readily experience oil separation. The grease composition contains a base oil, hydrophilic nanofibers having a thickness (d) of 1 to 500 nm, and an organic bentonite.

  • Patent number: 10829711
    Abstract: Provided is a grease containing a base oil and a hydrophilic nanofiber, the hydrophilic nanofiber having a thickness (d) of 0.01 to 500 nm being dispersed therein. The grease is low in an environmental load and excellent in safety on the human body and also has an appropriate worked penetration and has a high dropping point, and therefore, it is also excellent in heat resistance.
