Abstract
The invention provides a magneto-rheological grease composition which contains (a) a base oil including at least 30% by mass of an ether type synthetic oil; (b) an aliphatic diurea thickener; and (c) magnetic particles in an amount of 45 to 95% by mass based on the total mass of the composition. The magneto-rheological grease composition can show superior thermal stability, dispersion stability and magneto-rheological properties.
Claims11
A magneto-rheological grease composition comprising:
- (a) a base oil comprising at least 30% by mass of an ether type synthetic oil having a kinetic viscosity at 40° C. of 60 to 140 mm2/s;
- (b) an aliphatic diurea thickener;
- and
- (c) magnetic particles in an amount of 45 to 95% by mass based on the total mass of the composition,
- wherein the aliphatic diurea thickener is represented by formula (1):
- wherein R1 and R2 are a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and wherein R1 and R2 are the same.
