Abstract: The present invention relate to liquid cleansing compositions comprising 12-HSA which are both processable and stable. Applicants have defined a specific composition window (defined by specific types and ratios of fatty acid and/or fatty acid soaps, as well as critical ceiling for 12-HSA and floor levels of polyol) where these objectives can be met.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a grease composition, which comprises mixing an amine in a lubricating bas oil and an isocyanate in a lubricating base oil under high pressure and high flow rate impingement. In one embodiment, the mixing and reaction occurs in a reaction injection molding device. The resulting grease composition is an extremely low noise grease, being virtually clear of any urea thickener particles.

Abstract: A detergent including one or more neutral or overbased alkaline earth metal C10 to C40 hydrocarbyl substituted hydroxybenzoates, in which: (i) the one or more neutral or overbased alkaline earth metal C10 to C40 hydrocarbyl substituted hydroxybenzoates is or includes one or more C10 to C40 hydrocarb-1-yl substituted hydroxybenzoates; or, (ii) greater than 50 mole % of the one or more neutral or overbased alkaline earth metal C10 to C40 hydrocarbyl substituted hydroxybenzoates, based on the total number of moles of said C10 to C40 hydrocarbyl substituted hydroxybenzoates, is or includes one or more C10 to C40 hydrocarb-2-yl substituted hydroxybenzoates.

Abstract: A method of reducing asphaltene precipitation or ‘black paint’ in an engine is disclosed. The method includes the step of lubricating the engine with a lubricating oil composition comprising: an oil of lubricating viscosity in a major amount; and, a salicylate detergent system in a minor amount comprising one or more neutral or overbased alkaline earth metal C22 hydrocarbyl substituted salicylates.

Abstract: Methods, a lubricant composition, and a fuel composition for lubricating a two-stroke internal combustion engine include a lubricant composition that contains (A) an oil of lubricating viscosity, (B) an additive composition, and (C) a normally liquid solvent having a kinematic viscosity of less than 5 cSt at 100° C. The lubricant composition improves the cleanliness of a power valve of a two-stroke engine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of preparing fatty alkyl esters (biodiesel), glycerin and lithium soap comprising: a) transesterifying an oil, fat or grease with a solution of lithium base in a monohydric aliphatic alcohol to produce fatty alkyl esters and a lithium alkaline glycerin; b) separating the fatty alkyl esters and the lithium alkaline glycerin and utilizing the lithium alkaline glycerin to saponify fatty alkyl compounds to produce glycerin and lithium soap; and c) optionally, separating the glycerin and lithium soaps.

Abstract: The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

Abstract: There is provided a fluid composition including at least one hydroxy-substituted carboxylic acid. Also provided are methods of inhibiting at least one of corrosion and rust and of improving at least one of lubricity and lead compatibility. Also provided are lubricating, fuel, anticorrosion, antirust, and additive concentration compositions.

Abstract: A method for lubricating a metal workpiece during a metalworking process includes delivering supercritical carbon dioxide to the workpiece during the metalworking process. The supercritical carbon dioxide acts as a lubricant, coolant, chip evacuator, and/or carrier for another lubricant or corrosion inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to grease gelling agents and greases having low noise characteristics. The greases of the present invention may also exhibit good low shear stability and good heat resistance, as well as the low noise characteristics. The novel grease compositions of the present invention comprise a grease gelling agent comprises a mixture of ?80 weight percent diureas and 0.1-20 weight percent polyureas.

Abstract: In a grease composition which essentially comprises a base oil and a thickener, a mixture of a urea compound and lithium soap is blended as the thickener. The content of the urea compound in the thickener is preferably set to 20 to 80 wt %. As the urea compound, an alkyl group- or cyclohexyl group-terminated diurea compound, or, particularly, a diurea compound in which the diisocyanate component is 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate is preferably used. In a rolling bearing which is lubricated by the grease composition, the acoustic performance is largely improved by a synergistic action of the lithium soap and the urea compound, and simultaneously also the anti-fretting property is enhanced by an action of the urea compound.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a grease composition which can improve both the acoustic performance and anti-fretting property of a ball bearing, and a rolling bearing which is lubricated by such a grease composition.
