Abstract
Fluid compositions comprised of a monomer constituent dissolved in a carrier fluid, where the monomer constituent is capable of forming a polymer film directly on rubbing surfaces but is not polymerized in solution, have been found to be effective for reducing ceramic wear.
Claims1
A wear reducing composition in a ceramic system, said ceramic system including a rubbed ceramic element in contact with said composition, wherein said composition comprises:
- 90.0-99.9% by weight of a carrier fluid comprising air;
- and
- 0.01-10.0% by weight of diallyl phthalate dissolved or dispersed in said carrier fluid.
