Title: Improvements in and relating to lithium base lubricating greases
Filed: 1946-06-26
Abstract: Lithium base lubricating greases consist essentially of a hydrocarbon oil having a kinematic viscosity not less than 15 cs. at 100 DEG  F. and not more than 50 cs. at 210 DEG  F. and a pour point not substantially below -50 DEG  F., and the lithium soap of one or more hydroxystearic acids, e.g. the fatty acid mixtures obtainable from hydrogenated castor oil.  The percentage by weight of lithium soap in the grease may not exceed 10 and the ingredients in the form of a slurry may be rapidly heated together to yield a homogeneous soap/oil solution and the grease composition cast in thin layers, in which form the grease is rapidly cooled under static conditions.  Oxidation inhibitors, extreme pressure additives, corrosion inhibitors, and anti-wear agents may also be present.  In an example the fatty acid mixture obtained from hydrogenated castor oil is converted into lithium soap, dried and powdered.  Eight parts by weight of the soap are made into a slurry with 0.25 parts of phenyl-b -naphthylamine and 91.75 parts of an Edeleanised mineral oil having viscosities at 100 DEG  F. and 210 DEG  F. of 139 and 10.5 cs. respectively and a kinematic viscosity index of 47.  The slurry is rapidly heated with agitation to about 210 DEG  C., the resulting soap/oil solution cast into a layer about 1/4 -inch thick.  In this form it is cooled undisturbed in about 10 to 15 minutes and then collected and homogenised in a roll mill.
