Abstract: Shampoo compositions comprise (a) from about 5% to about 50% of one or more detersive surfactants, by weight of the shampoo composition; (b) a dispersed gel network phase comprising, by weight of the shampoo composition, (i) at least about 0.05% of one or more fatty alcohols; (ii) at least about 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants; and (iii) water; and (c) at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier, by weight of the shampoo composition; and, wherein the dispersed gel network phase has a melt transition temperature of at least about 38° C.

Abstract: An indicating lubricant additive comprising a color-changable polymer having an outer layer of a first color, and an intermediate layer of a second color; and a lubricant sensing dipstick comprising a circuit housing, an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end, and lubricant sensing means disposed at said distal end, wherein in one embodiment, the sensing means detects a change in the indicating lubricant additive that is. present in a lubricant.

Abstract: A lubricating grease composed of a base oil combination comprising 10 to 35% of one or more poly &agr;-olefins, 3 to 15% of one or more synthetic organic esters, 20 to 30% of one or more naphthenic oils, the remainder of the combination being one or more paraffinic oils, the percentages being by weight of the total base oil combination and the ratio of the weight of the ester(s) in the combination to the weight of the poly &agr;-olefin(s) therein being not greater than 1:3; between 2 and 15 % by weight of the total grease of a lithium soap thickener, between 1 and 5% by weight of the total grease of a molybdenum dithiophospbate; between 1 and 5% by weight of the total grease of a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate; between 1 and 5% by weight of the total grease of a sulphur-free friction modifier, and some or all of the normal grease additives such as anti-oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, extreme pressure additives and tackiness agents.
