Abstract
A water containing lubricant comprising a lubricating base oil, and a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor and water dispersed in the base oil by the use of a mixture of several surfactants having a specific hydrophile lipophile balance (HLB) value, respectively. The lubricant of this invention is a transparent dispersion containing a relatively large amount of water in the base oil, and is useful as an emulsion type metal working oils, hydrolic fluids, gear oils, engine oils, etc.
Claims4
A water-containing lubricant comprising per 100 parts by weight of a lubricating base oil, from 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor and from 1 to 1,000 parts by weight of water dispersed in the base oil by the use of a surfactant mixture, said surfactant mixture consisting essentially of
- (1) from 2 to 80 parts by weight of a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of an ester of fatty acid and polyhydric alcohol, or polyoxyalkylene type compound, aliphatic alcohol having from 7 to 30 carbon atoms and fatty acid having from 7 to 30 carbon atoms, having a hydrophile lipophile balance (HLB) value of less than 6,
- (2) from 2 to 80 parts by weight of a nonionic surfactant which is an ester of fatty acid and polyhydric alcohol, or a polyoxyalkylene type compound, having a HLB value of from 6 to less than 11,
- (3) from 2 to 80 parts by weight of a nonionic surfactant which is an ester of fatty acid and polyhydric alcohol, or polyoxyalkylene type compound, having a HLB value of from 11 to less than 20, and
- (4) from 0.5 to 80 parts by weight of an ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of metal salts of fatty acid having from 7 to 18 carbon atoms, metal salts of naphthenic acid, esters of alkyl sulfates and alkyl sulfonates, having a HLB value of not less than 15.
