  • Patent number: 10633608
    Abstract: A lubricant composition includes a perfluoropolyether as a base oil, a fluororesin as a thickener, and a polyol ester, a urea grease and a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate as additives, wherein a mass ratio of content of the perfluoropolyether to total content of the polyol ester and the urea grease ranges from 78/22 to 95/5, a mass ratio of content of the perfluoropolyether to content of the polyol ester ranges from 90/10 to 96.5/3.5, a mass ratio of content of the polyol ester to content of the urea grease ranges from 40/60 to 65/35, content of the fluororesin ranges from 15 mass % to 24 mass % based on a total amount of the lubricant composition, and content of the zinc dialkyldithiophosphate ranges from 0.5 mass % to 4 mass % based on the total amount of the lubricant composition.

  • Patent number: 8501671
    Abstract: A process for producing a grease composition which is capable of homogeneously and surely dispersing a non-fluorine-based base oil blended with a thickening agent and a fluorine-based base oil blended with a thickening agent. A mixture of a non-fluorine-based base oil blended with a first thickening agent and a fluorine-based base oil blended with a second thickening agent that are not mutually compatible is homogeneously treated at a shear rate of 150 s?1 or higher to form a morphology structure in which one of the non-fluorine-based base oil and fluorine-based base oil is homogeneously dispersed in a particulate form having a mean particle diameter of not more than 25 ?m in the other base oil.

  • Patent number: 8394748
    Abstract: A grease composition, which comprises a mixture of mutually incompatible thickener-containing non-fluorine-based base oil and thickener-containing fluorine-based base oil, the base oils being in a morphological structure, where one of the base oils is homogeneously dispersed in a particulate state in the other base oil, can be produced by kneading the mixture through a three-roll mill at least twice. By forming a morphological structure, one of the mutually incompatible non-fluorine-based base oil and fluorine-based base oil is homogeneously dispersed in a particulate state in the other base oil, that is, by forming a microscopically dispersed state, the following effects can be obtained: (1) less oil separation (smaller degree of oil separation) at elevated temperatures, (2) distinguished shearing stability, (3) low and stable friction coefficient, and (4) less abrasion.

  • Publication number: 20110218128
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lubricating grease composition comprising a complex metal soap thickener of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and monoamide monocarboxylic acid, and a fluororesin powder contained in a base oil mixture of a non-fluorine-based base oil and a fluorine-based base oil, which are incompatible with each other. The lubricating grease composition can be produced by kneading, preferably kneading by a three-roll mill, a non-fluorine-based grease and a fluorine-based grease, the non-fluorine-based grease being prepared by stirring a non-fluorine-based base oil, aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and monoamide monocarboxylic acid under heating, and adding metal hydroxide thereto to form a complex metal soap in the non-fluorine-based base oil; and the fluorine-based grease being prepared from a fluorine-based base oil and a fluororesin powder.
