Abstract: An aqueous composition comprising: (A) water; (B) an overbased material dispersed with component (A), said overbased material being selected from the group consisting of (B)(I) a Newtonian overbased material or (B)(II) a non-Newtonian colloidal disperse system comprising (1) solid metal-containing colloidal particles predispersed in (2) a disperse medium of at least one inert organic liquid and (3) as an essential third component at least one member selected from the class consisting of organic compounds which are substantially soluble in said disperse medium, the molecules of said organic compound being characterized by polar substituents and hydrophobic portions; and an effective amount of at least one additional component to disperse component (B) with component (A), said additional component being selected from the group consisting of (C) at least one nitrogen-containing, phosphorus-free carboxylic solubilizer made by the reaction of (C)(I) at least one carboxylic acid acylating agent having at least one

Abstract: Combinations of chlorinated waxes and phosphorus-containing compositions prepared by the reaction of an alkoxylated alkyl phenol with a phosphorus trihalide, or, in combination with water, with a triaryl phosphite, are useful as additives for metal working lubricants.

Abstract: Metal working operations, especially drawing, are facilitated by applying to the metal a composition which provides lubricity thereto, which melts between about 30.degree. and about 150.degree. C., and which contains a minor amount of a phosphorus-containing composition which may be prepared by the reaction of an alkoxylated alkyl phenol with a phosphorus trihalide, or, in combination with water, with a triaryl phosphite. The former reaction also produces, as a by-product, the corresponding halide. The phosphorus-containing compositions are especially useful in combination with a chlorinated wax. The preferred lubricant bases for the metal working lubricants comprise esters or polymers of epoxides or episulfides.
