Abstract: Preparation in liquid or creamy or powder form to be used for materials for industrial use such as refractory products, products cementitious, products for buildings, aggregates, binders of various kinds, plastics, natural and synthetic rubber, polymers, bitumen, bituminous conglomerates, active substances that evaporate or dissipate quickly, belonging to insecticides, biocides, pesticides, pesticides, etc., which are made from animal mixtures of oils or fats and at least one base dissolved in water, with percentages by weight of components comprised respectively between 70% and 99.9% of oil or mixture of oils, 0.1% and 10% of base and 0% and 20% of water.
Abstract: Zinc complex greases with different complexing acids having dropping points comparable to lithium greases and tailor-made dropping points can be made by processing at low temperature in open as well as close kettle process. The present invention discloses a process of manufacturing Zinc complex greases—through reaction of fatty acid and complexing acid with zinc oxide in mineral oil to obtain zinc complex greases having high dropping points of 180 to 280° C.
Abstract: A wear and/or friction reducing additive for a lubricating fluid in which the additive is a combination of a moderately hydrophilic single-phase compound and an anti-wear and/or anti-friction aqueous salt solution. The aqueous salt solution produces a coating on boundary layer surfaces. The lubricating fluid can be an emulsion-free hydrophobic oil, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze, or water. Preferably, the moderately hydrophilic single-phase compound is sulfonated castor oil and the aqueous salt solution additionally contains boric acid and zinc oxide. The emulsions produced by the aqueous salt solutions, the moderately hydrophilic single-phase compounds, or the combination thereof provide targeted boundary layer organizers that significantly enhance the anti-wear and/or anti-friction properties of the base lubricant by decreasing wear and/or friction of sliding and/or rolling surfaces at boundary layers.
