Abstract
The present invention is drawn to an anti-lubricant in the form of a composition that is a viscous fluid, a paste, a gel or even a semi-solid rubber-like material. More specifically, the invention suggests the use as the anti-lubricant of a composition of two or more siloxanes chemically reacted together to form a desirably thick viscous fluid, paste, gel or rubbery solid reaction product, the resultant reaction product being admixed with a more liquid, mobile siloxane that itself has anti-lubricant properties, this more mobile siloxane, which may be either one of the two reacted together or a completely different one, is immobilized—stably dispersed—within the reaction product (and not only provides the required anti-lubricant property but may also be used to modify the final “viscosity” of the composition).
Claims20
An anti-lubricant, silicone composition comprising a stable dispersion of a gall-promoting silicone immobilized within a matrix made of the cross-linked reaction product of at least two polyfunctional siloxanes and having the form of a paste or a gel, wherein the composition is effective in the promotion of galling between two gallable surfaces.
