Abstract
Bis(hydroxyalkyl)disiloxane lubricants of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are methyl or ethyl and R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are linear alkyl groups of up to 20 carbon atoms. These compounds are useful as additives to methyl alkyl siloxane lubricants for conductive high density information discs. Discs lubricated with the lubricant mixture exhibit improved stability to environments of high temperature and high relative humidity.
Claims6
A composition comprising a solution of a methyl alkyl siloxane lubricant of the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are alkyl groups of 4 to 20 carbon atoms, x is an integer of 2-4, y is an integer of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x and y is 4 or less, containing from about 5 percent to about 70 percent by weight of the lubricant of a compound of the formula ##STR9## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are methyl or ethyl and R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are linear alkyl groups of up to 20 carbon atoms.
