Abstract: The present invention pertains to a lubricant for a ball-and-socket joint, wherein spherical particles of two different sizes are introduced into an oil or a lubricating grease.

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.

Abstract: A light-duty, multi-purpose lubricant particularly formulated for use on the diverse bearing surfaces mechanisms which operate in a dirty or dusty environment, such as bicycle chains. The lubricant comprises an insoluble bond weakening agent, preferably metallic soaps such as Calcium Stearate, in suspension in a volatile solvent-based solution of wax and oil. After application and evaporation of the solvent the composite dry lubricant exhibits good penetration and load bearing properties without the dirt-retaining character of oils or greases.

Soluble waxes having different solid phase crystalline structures may be blended with the paraffin to reduce the rate of sloughing. The amount of solvent may be adjusted or eliminated depending on the application. A surfactant can be added provide for coating wet mechanisms.
