  • Patent number: 11370991
    Abstract: Wax compositions are provided with improved properties for candles and candle jars. The candle wax composition includes a major amount of a foots oil and minor amount of a 600N slack wax. In one form, the foots oil is a 150N foots oil that is included in the composition at from 70 to 80 weight % of the composition and the 600N slack wax is included in the composition at from 20 to 30 wt % of the composition. The candle wax composition provides substantially no oil bleed and a smooth surface appearance with improved burning properties in terms of soot production, wax consumption, melt pool depth and flame height.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 5726133
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a low ash natural gas engine oil which contains an additive package including a particular combination of detergents and also containing other standard additives such as dispersants, antioxidants, antiwear agents, metal deactivators, antifoamants and pour point depressants and viscosity index improvers. The low ash natural gas engine oil exhibits reduced deposit formation and enhanced resistance to oil oxidation and nitration.

  • Patent number: 5321172
    Abstract: Solvent-free lubricant compositions having improved lubricity properties comprising a basestock having a kinematic viscosity of about 1.5 to 3.0 cSt at 100.degree. C., about 3 to 15 wt % of bright stock having a kinematic viscosity about 20 to 40 cSt at 100.degree. C., about 3 to 15 wt % of a polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of about 400 to 1050 and about 3 to 15 wt % of a polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of about 1150 to 1650. Minor amounts of the lubricant composition may be incorporated into a distillate fuel to provide a lubricant oil-fuel composition for two-cycle engines.

  • Patent number: 4826612
    Abstract: The use of oxidants such as hydroperoxides in a lubricating oil have been found to be effective in reducing the war of one or more metal and/or ceramic surfaces in contact with an advanced ceramic surface. The reduced wear may be obtained in the absence of conventional antiwear additives such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphate.
