Abstract: The invention provides a grease composition containing a base oil, a thickener and a rust inhibitor, characterized in that the rust inhibitor includes an organic sulfonate and a fatty acid amine salt. The grease composition of the invention exhibits excellent rust preventing characteristics and causes little damage to the environment.

Abstract: This invention relates to a leather that contains scent-containing microcapsules in its cross section, wherein the walls of the microcapsules comprise reaction products of guanidine compounds and polyisocyanates.

Abstract: The lubricant composition of the present invention can be used in automatic transmissions and contains 0.05 to 2% of a metallic salt of organic acid (component (A)), such as calcium sulfonate, 0.15 to 4% of a specific polyamide compound (component (B)) and 0.05 to 1.5% of acid phosphate or acid phosphite ester (component (C)) which are added to a lubricant base oil, wherein all percentages are by weight in the total lubricant composition. The lubricant composition for automatic transmissions can show high anti-shudder property, high anti-shudder durability for an extended period, high property of preventing clogging of the friction material, and sufficient transmission torque capacity, while retaining the lubricant characteristic requirements for use in automatic transmissions.

Abstract: The use of a mixture of at least one alkanolamide of general formula (I), RC(O)NH(A).sub.n H, wherein R is a hydrocarbon group having 7-23 carbon atoms, preferably 11-23 carbon atoms, A is an alkyleneoxy group having 2-4 carbon atoms and n is 2-12, preferably 2-8, and at least one ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, amphoteric and zwitterionic, in a proportion between the alkoxylated alkanolamide and the ionic surfactant from 100:1 to 1:2, preferably in the range from 50:1 to 1:1 for producing a water-base liquid system with reduced flow resistance between the flowing, water-base liquid system and a solid surface.

Abstract: The invention is for an additive composition for metal-working fluids and a method for producing the additive composition. The additive composition comprises from about 0.01 to about 25.0 mole weight of iso-stearic acid to 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol whereby a salt of iso-stearic acid-2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol is formed. The metal-working fluid composition comprises from about 0.01 to about 40 percent by weight of iso-stearic acid-2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol salt and from about 99.99 to about 60 percent by weight of a synthetic or semi-synthetic metal-working fluid.
