Patent ID: 8123823

Claim:
A composition comprising a dispersion of: (a) a metal base with mean particle size ranging from 15 nanometers to about 1 micrometers, wherein the metal base is selected from the group consisting of: (i) a metal hydroxide; (ii) a metal base other than a metal hydroxide; and (iii) mixtures thereof, wherein the metal hydroxide or the metal base contains a metal selected from the group consisting of lithium, potassium, sodium, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium, barium, iron, cerium, and mixtures thereof, (b) a surfactant with a hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) of about 2 to about 16; and (c) an organic medium containing less than about 2 wt % of water wherein said metal base is present at a solids content greater than about 51 wt % of the composition when said metal base is a metal hydroxide, and at a solids content of greater than about 35 wt % when said metal base is other than a metal hydroxide, or is a mixture, wherein the dispersion viscosity as measured by TA Instruments AR 500™ Rheometer using “cone on plate geometry” measured at about 40° C. at 100 s −1 ranges from about 0.003 Pa s to about 5 Pa s.
