Abstract: Traction fluids containing certain siloxane components and, optionally, certain cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon components are described. These traction fluids possess high traction coefficients and good low temperature viscosity properties which make these fluids ideally suited for use in traction drive systems subjected to wide operating temperature conditions.
Abstract: What is disclosed are new alumina-containing organosilicon resins which are useful as corrosion inhibiting coatings on metal substrates. One such useful composition is a combination of 2.5 weight percent alumina; 87.1 weight percent CH.sub.3 SiO.sub.3/2 and 10.3 weight percent colloidal silica in an aqueous-alcoholic solution at about twenty percent solids.
