  • Water soluble metal working fluids
    Patent number: 6706670
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel water soluble metal working fluid compositions, their use to work metal, a process for working metal using such compositions and the metal worked article of manufacture. More particularly, this invention relates to fluid compositions useful in cutting, grinding, shaping and other metal working operations which require a lubricant. The terms “first Group A” and “second Group B” are used herein to denote different groups and not to indicate any sequence of use or selection as any possible combination or sequence of use of a component(s) is envisioned without limit of any kind. The disclosed fluid compositions are also anticorrosive and environmentally more acceptable than current oil based fluids.

  • Process for producing diperoxoic acids
    Patent number: 4680145
    Abstract: Substituted-butanediperoxoic acids are produced by peroxidizing substituted succinic anhydride in a strong acid reaction medium in the presence of a reaction modifier. Product throughput is improved and product recovery is enhanced. The substituted-butanediperoxoic acids are particularly useful as bleaching agents.
