Abstract: A lubricant and surface conditioner for formed metal surfaces, particularly beverage containers, reduces the coefficient of static friction of said metal surfaces and enables drying said metal surfaces at a lower temperature. An aqueous composition for forming the conditioner by contact with metal surfaces includes a water-soluble organic material selected from a phosphate ester, alcohol, fatty acid including mono-, di-, tri-, and polyacids; fatty acid derivatives such as salts, hydroxy acids, amides, esters, ethers and derivatives thereof; and mixtures thereof and at least one of the elements selected from zirconium, titanium, cerium, aluminum, iron, tin, vanadium, tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, tungsten, and hafnium in metallic or ionic form. In order to avoid formation of sludge in the aqueous lubricant and surface conditioner forming composition, the composition should contain as little as possible of materials containing phenanthrene rings, such as conventional surfactants made by ethoxylating rosin.

Abstract: The present invention provides for forming an iron-phosphate conversion surface, or an iron-phosphate bi-metallic surface on metals, in situ, in internal combustion engines, pumps, hydraulic systems, compressors and other mechanical equipment and machinery, using the lubricating oil as the medium for bringing the phosphate and bi-metallic inorganic polymeric water complexes into contact with the metals in the machinery. The inorganic polymeric water complexes can be formed in accordance with U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,084,263 and 5,310,419 which are incorporated herein by reference. The bimetallic component can be any metal from Classes I through VIII of the Periodic Table.
