Abstract: A method for working or forming metals which consists in usings an aqueous lubricant containing as water-soluble extreme pressure additive, methanesulphonic acid or water-soluble methanesulphonic acid salt. The water-soluble methane sulphonic acid salt is an alkali or alkaline-earth, ammonium, alkanol amine or ethoxylated fatty amine salt. The inventive aqueous lubricants have good extreme pressure properties and good properties with respect to corrosion.

Abstract: The multifunctional lubricant according to the invention comprises at least one phosphoric ester (A) of general formula: 1

Abstract: It is possible to make very concentrated solutions of N-coco-, N-oleyl- or N-tallow-propylenediamine acetate which can be diluted without formation of gels or of lumps in a water/dissolving agent solvent. A simple dilution test is given which allows the suitable compositions to be selected. Use of their diluted solutions, in particular for the lubrication of bottles on conveyor lines.

Abstract: The multifunctional aqueous lubricant according to the invention comprises at least one water-soluble salt of dithiodiglycolic acid and at least one water-soluble compound chosen from the group consisting of: a) phosphoric esters of general formula:  in which R represents an alkyl, alkenyl or alkylaryl radical having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, k is equal to 2 or 3, m is a number ranging from 0 to 20 and x is equal to 1 or 2, and their salts, and b) water-soluble salts of alkylthio acids of general formula: R′—S—(CH2)n—COOH  (II)  in which n is a number ranging from 1 to 10 and R′ represents an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl radical having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms,  the ratio by mass of dithiodiglycolic acid to compound(s) I and/or II being between 1/1 and 50/1.

Abstract: Aqueous-alcoholic solutions of coconut or palm oil alkylamidopropylbetaines with a betaine content of greater than 50%, which are fluid, stable and pumpable are described as occupying a well-defined zone of their betaine/water/ethanol ternary diagram. They are prepared by synthesis and quaternization of the amidoamine directly in the solvent medium in which they are defined.

Abstract: Aqueous-alcoholic solutions of hydrogenated coconut or palm kernel oil alkylamidopropylbetaines with a betaine content of greater than 50%, which are fluid, stable and pumpable are described as occupying a well-defined zone of their betaine/water/ethanol ternary diagram. They are prepared by synthesis and quaternization of the amidoamine directly in the solvent medium in which they are defined.
