  • Patent number: 12606770
    Abstract: Greases that are suitable for use in high temperature applications and are cost-effective alternatives to lithium greases. The greases are prepared from an oil of lubricating viscosity; 1.0 to 22.5 wt % of an overbased metal detergent; 5.0 to 18.5 wt % of a metal carboxylate soap component that is the reaction product of a metal hydroxide and/or metal carbonate with a fatty acid; 0.2 to 8.0 wt % of an oxygenate promoter (for example alcohols and/or organic acids); and 1 to 15 wt % of water. The greases have dropping points of at least 220° C., as measured using ASTM D2265.

  • Publication number: 20170369798
    Abstract: An olefin or a slack wax of 10 to 100 carbon atoms is oxidized by mixing said wax with a salt of an alkaline earth metal in an amount to provide 0.001 to 0.03 weight percent of the alkaline earth metal, the anion of the salt comprising 4 to 36 carbon atoms; heating the mixture to 100 to 180° C.; and supplying to the heated mixture a molecular oxygen-containing gas. The oxidation is conducted in the substantial absence of manganese or cobalt compounds. The oxidized wax may be esterified by reaction with an alcohol. The oxidized wax may be used in a coating composition.

  • Patent number: 5491871
    Abstract: A solder paste or conductive ink printer stencil wiper apparatus combining a dual action of sucking stencil holes and simultaneously wiping the bottom of the stencil for excess solder. The apparatus includes a vacuum nozzle constructed and arranged to draw excess solder gathered in the holes of the stencil through the nozzle to a collection reservoir. The apparatus also includes a wiping element for wiping the bottom of the stencil at the same time the vacuum is sucking solder out of the stencil holes. The wiper includes a wiper fabric to wipe the bottom of the stencil. The fabric is provided on a roll, and the fabric is pulled through a series of rollers by a motor and collected on a take-up roller.
