Abstract:
1. A process for the manufacture of a metal complex grease composition comprising the steps of: (i) preparing a slurry comprising a base oil, water, a metal base and a complexing agent, wherein the weight ratio of water:solid in the slurry is in the range of from 0.15:1 to 1.5:1; (ii) applying shear to the slurry at a shear frequency of at least 1,000,000 s (iii) adding the slurry emerging from step (ii) to a C (iv) removing water from the saponified product resulting from step (iii); (v) heating the product emerging from step (iv) at a temperature in the range of from 190 to 230° C.; and (vi) cooling the product emerging from step (v) to a temperature in the range of from 200 to 150° C. to form the metal complex grease composition.
