METHOD OF LUBRICATING CERTAIN INSTALLATIONS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4056856
ABS>Radiation-resistant greases are prepared from lubricating mineral oils having a viscosity-gravity constant of at least 0.85 (preferably at least 0.88) and inorganic gelling agents, preferably colloidal silica or an aluminum silicate. The resistance of the grease to the action of water is increased by making the agents hydrophobic, e.g., by coating the particles with a polymenic silicon compound (e.g., dimethyldiethoxysilane) or by reacting them with a lower alcohol. Hardening of the grease can be prevented by adding a small quantity of a 1,3- or 1,2-diol, which contains 6 or more carbon atoms. (NPO)
