Abstract
The invention relates to a novel emulsified composition comprising (a) major amount of an aqueous phase, (b) a minor amount of an organic phase and (c) a minor but effective amount of at least one emulsifier to emulsify the aqueous and organic phase resulting in a water in oil emulsified lubricants, in particular an emulsified greases. Further, the present invention provides a process for making the emulsified compositions.
Claims19
A process to produce an emulsified composition comprising
- A. mixing the following components
- (a) a major amount of water,
- (b) a minor amount of oil of lubricating viscosity,
- (c) at least one emulsifier,
- (d) optionally, one or more water soluble additives,
- (e) one or more oil soluble additives,
- (f) optionally, one or more alcohols, and
- (g) one or more thickeners, and
- (h) combination thereof;
- B. with sufficient shear to form a water in oil emulsion of a lubricant.
An emulsified composition comprising a major amount of water in the range of about 99% to about 5% by weight of the emulsified composition, a minor amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity in the range of about 1% to about 95% by weight of the emulsified composition and a minor but effective amount of at least one or more thickeners and one emulsifier to emulsify the aqueous and organic phase resulting in a water in oil emulsified grease.
