Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition of matter and method of use for wireline operations in the oil/gas industry. A glycerin water base composition having optional additives, was found to yield a tacky mixture stable to temperatures up to about 195° C. and as low as ?50 C. When used as a wireline fluid, the inventive composition formed a seal from the oil or gas inside or outside the wellbore. The composition can be used in downhole (and serve as a lubricant) or above hole (and serve as a sealant) operations. When the composition contains corrosion inhibitors, it was found that wireline could be protected against corrosion from atmospheric conditions during storage for up to 30 days. Unlike other sealants/lubricants known in the industry, after use, the composition is easy to clean with water, wherein the water does not need further treatment prior to disposal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a metal rolling oil composition excellent in both an emulsion stability and a plating-out property, wherein the metal rolling oil composition comprises: at least one base oil selected from the group consisting of a mineral oil, animal and vegetable fat and oil, and synthetic ester; a surfactant; and an elastomer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a modified solid stick composition comprising a thermosetting plasticizer, a resin, a lubricant, a friction modifier, or a combination thereof. The solid stick compositions may be used for application between two metal surfaces in sliding and rolling-sliding contact such as steel wheel-rail systems including mass transit and freight systems. A method of reducing energy consumption, or controlling friction between a metal surface and a second metal surface by applying the solid stick composition to one or more than one of the metal surfaces, is also provided.

Abstract: A lubricating coating which is free from harmful heavy metals is formed on a premium threaded joint for pipes constituted by a pin and a box each having a contact surface comprising a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion (a sealing surface and shoulder) in order to provide the joint with galling resistance, gas-tightness, and anticorrosive properties such that the unthreaded metal contact portion is prevented from yielding even when the joint is made up with a high torque. The lubricating coating comprises one or both of a rosin and calcium fluoride; metal soap; wax; and a basic metal salt of an aromatic organic acid, and preferably it further includes a lubricating powder, magnesium carbonate, and/or a carbohydrate, particularly a cyclodextrin.

Abstract: Thermoplastic resin compositions comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a lubricating oil-impregnated mesoporous powder. The compositions comprise about 0.3 to about 2 weight percent of lubricating oil, based on the total weight of the composition and are able to maintain a low coefficient of friction and minimal wear over an extended period of use.

Abstract: A well drill lubricant and shale stabilizer employs a sugar alcohol, such as glycerin or crude glycerol and graphite beads suspended in the liquid alcohol. A viscosity agent, such as a gum, is added to improve viscosity along with water. Some impurities present in crude glycerol, such as ash, methanol and MONG are present in small amounts. The composition is non-toxic, fully biodegradable, while possessing high coefficient of lubricity.

Abstract: A high-temperature lubricant comprising a water-base and minor effective amounts of borate, dextrin, graphite, xanthan gum, and an organic preservative. A powder for preparing a water-based high temperature lubricant is disclosed in which the powder comprises graphite and minor effective amounts of borate, dextrin, and xanthan gum. A continuous process for making the lubricant is also disclosed.

Abstract: Die release lubricant is made from powder solid lubricant, adhesion enhancer made of organic or inorganic compound and volatile solvent. Before melted metal is injected into a die for casting, the die release lubricant is sprayed to an inside surface of the die. The die release lubricant is in a liquid state and is uniformly applied to the inside surface of the die. As a result, application efficiency of the die release lubricant is improved while an amount of thermal decomposition gas generated during casting is reduced.
